- W235575723 abstract "ABSTRACT.In the present paper, I focus on Robbe-Grillet's use of myth in Les Gommes, his contribution to French literature, and his account of narrative perspective in fiction. This study is grounded in the considerable body of scholarship examining the placement and perspective of human beings in Robbe-Grillet's novels, Robbe-Grillet's understanding of myth, and his insistence upon depicting the world from a human perspective.Keywords: Robbe-Grillet, myth, fiction, dialectical topology, human1. IntroductionThe aim of the present study is to examine and evaluate the intricate network of relationships that Robbe-Grillet has established between myth and the modern text, his formal and stylistic choices in La Jalousie, and his dialectical topology.2. Robbe-Grillet's Account of Narrative Perspective in FictionAs Smith puts it, Robbe-Grillet's fiction subverts any possibility of finding a center. The modernist hope of rebuilding, of finding a new basis on which to ground belief is an illusion. Robbe-Grillet's narratives have frequently grown out of formal incentives that have allowed his artistic liberty to flourish. References to preexisting forms are transformed by an imaginative and self-reflexive use of narrative structure.As has been shown, Robbe-Grillet self-reflexively calls attention to the fictional nature of remembered events and to the lived basis of previously published fiction. The reader's play with the text assumes the role of the detective and takes on the function of the narrator. Robbe-Grillet's sexual imagery can be shockingly specific in terms of the perversion it depicts.Robbe-Grillet's self-reflexivity reveals the reader's role not just in passively tracing the labyrinth but in creating it. The author's explicit and self-reflective focus on the labyrinth as a motif exposes, through the experience of reading this novel, the intricacies of reading any novel, even traditional works whose conventions remain hidden. In the Labyrinth, through its obfuscation of representation and its story of labyrinthine wanderings, brings to light a truth about fiction generally, namely that all fiction is in the final analysis undecidable. When in an attempt at rational understanding a critic applies narrative terminology to a work of fiction, it is an effort doomed to frustration. [. . .] When the novel is read on its own as text, pictorial allusions abound, not to specific works as in the picto-novel but to pictures created with words and to the process of making pictures.1For Robbe-Grillet, the eye is an instrument, and the act of perception2 is a form of research. Robbe-Grillet's works consist for the most part of newsprint on which red paint is splashed. The confusion and lassitude that Mathias experiences result from his being unable to find anything to cling to in his distress. The pain behind Mathias' eyes reinforces a sense of alienation and estrangement that is inseparable from his condition he is haunted by erotic obsessions and lives in terror of labyrinths).Robbe-Grillet exploits the 'ice-box' factor to the full, and produces plots which have inconsistencies and non sequiturs deliberately built into them, so that his 'carefully structured enigmas' are doubly enigmatic. Or, if you like, no longer enigmatic at all, since any work with an inherent self-destructing capability will no longer puzzle the reader but more likely amuse and impress him by its feeding - parasite-like, as so many post-modern creations do - on a degenerated archetype, transforming its decay onto a new if somewhat fetid brilliance.33. Robbe-Grillet's Insistence upon Depicting the World from a Human PerspectiveStoltzfiis claims that Robbe-Grillet's works draw our attention to those openings within the text which emphasize the work's reflexive characteristics, exposing society's coded cliches,4 challenging the repression of play, desire, spontaneity, and violence. …" @default.
