Narration and the subject in the poetics of a literary artifact

Vol.11,No.1(2008)

Abstract
The author's attention is focused on the phenomenon of the strongly exposed motif of a family line in the prose work of M. Duras. The ambition of the study is not to analyse feminist prose, rather the fact that the dominant feature of the prose's poetics is handling with literary time and space which occupied a dominant position in the analysis and interpretation of literary expression and its potential meanings in the concept of the prose writer's strategy and its reflection in the strategy of the text itself. The extreme range of literary time (once - now), the physical time of the female narrator and the literary character (youth - old age), the otherness of literary space (Asia - Europe) formed a specific narrative chance for a female character in which she adopted the narrative position as a permanent tension in relation to all that identified her as a concrete subject in the conservative social environment. The sensually developed erotic plot, the sensual reflection of the subject of its existence has its focus in the emotional, social, and family trauma. The very problem of the protection and formation of the layers of the trauma in memory were reflected in the precisely organised composition of destruction of the secret of the subject's enigma.
