Book Description:
|
Dwelling in Language proposes a theory of literary character, based on Jacques Lacan's ideas about self, language and ethics. The book departs from previous studies in postulating an ontological identity for character. A variety of transhistorical readings aim at replacing the personhood of character with impersonal ethical zones.
