A Psychoanalytic-Philosophical Investigation of Climate Disavowal
In this paper, the distance between climate science (what is known of climate heating and its consequences) and human modes of reacting to it, is approached in terms of psychoanalytic disavowal. Individuals' resistance to scientific knowledge about a crisis that severely questions future life on the planet, is considered here a resistance to knowledge about death as immanent to human life. This not-wanting-to-know accounts in affirmative terms fo…
The Affirmation of Death
Finitude as an affirmative moment is what stands at the center of this paper. While death cannot be represented or conceptualized, it is present in events of death in the life of an individual and of a society. Here we look at formations split between the presencing of death and death’s denial or deferral as ways of symbolizing death as imminently present and certain for those who live. Death is affirmed as what cannot be known, represented, or i…
After Life: Recent Philosophy and Death
The real as limit to interpretation
Le courant post-moderne de la philosophie, de la semiotique et du structuralisme se preoccupe particulierement de la notion d'objet dans l'activite interpretative de la pratique discursive. La conception de l'objet fait emerger le probleme de ses relations avec la textualite. Ainsi il existe une correlation entre l'approche de l'interpretation et les positions prises quant au statut accorde a l'objet dans le jeu de l'interpretation. L'A. s'intere…

Possible worlds in literary theory: A game in interdisciplinarity
Paradigm Shift in Plot Models: An Outline of the History of Narratology
The short history of narratology (i.e., narrative theory inspired by classical structuralism) has proven to be long enough for the discipline to undergo some substantial paradigmatic changes. Furthermore, although on the surface narratology manifests a relatively coherent and almost monolithic theoretical project, it includes in fact diverse methods and orientations. The purpose of this paper is to give an overview of a paradigm change in narrato…

Completing the Incompleteness of Fictional Entities
Fictional entities are inherently incomplete because it is impossible construct a fictional object by specifying its characteristics and relations in every detail (Heintz 1979). This notion of incompleteness relates the logico-semantic status of fictional entities. The absence of a complete referent entails indeterminate areas and an impossibility verify properties of the fictional entity not attributed it by the fictional text itself. This absen…
Space in Fiction
Space, the domain of settings and surroundings of events, characters and objects in literary narrative, along with other domains (story, character, time and ideology), constitutes a fictional universe. For the purpose of describing some features of fictional spaces, I assume that space is a semantic construct built with linguistic structures employed by the literary text. Yet, this discussion is based on the assumption that the components of a fi…
