  • The Piece of String

    Guy De Maupassant, Paul Perron et al.ARTICLENew Literary History1989

    T WAS MARKET DAY, and on all the country roads around Goderville the peasants and their wives were making their way toward the town. The men walked slowly, throwing their whole bodies forward at every step of their long crooked legs. They were deformed from pushing the plow, which makes their left shoulders higher and bends their figures sideways; from reaping the grain, when they have to spread their legs so as to keep on their feet; from all th…

Thus it would be advisable to read it both as an anticipation of Floch's Petites mythologies de l'oeil et de l'esprit and a wellintentioned interpretation of Felix Thfirlemann's Paul Klee.1 The present text, which goes back some time and is perhaps a bit ou…

    Algirdas Julien Greimas, Paul Perron et al.ARTICLENew Literary History1989Cited by: 1

    EFORE UNDERTAKING the analysis of textual units we can identify as descriptive we must first of all attempt to situate them within the entire narrative and also distinguish them from other discursive units by using the most objective identification criteria possible. It is indeed desirable that formal segmentation procedures progressively replace our intuitive comprehension of the text and its articulations. To do this it would seem appropriate t…
