Von der hinteren Coverseite

Proposes a new model for understanding narrative, grounded in the philosophy of Gilles DeleuzeWhat is narrative?Ridvan Askin answers this question by bringing together aesthetics, contemporary North-American fiction, Gilles Deleuze, narrative theory and the recent speculative turn. Through this process he develops a transcendental empiricist concept of narrative. Against the established consensus of narrative theory he argues for an understanding of narrative as fundamentally nonhuman, unconscious, and expressive.Narrative and Becoming provides close readings of a number of contemporary North-American fictions, most prominently Ana Castillo’s The Mixquiahuala Letters (1986), Michael Ondaatje’s The Collected Works of Billy the Kid (1970), Colson Whitehead’s The Intuitionist (1999) and Mark Z. Danielewski’s House of Leaves (2000), showcasing their genuine metaphysical quality.Ridvan Askin is Postdoctoral Teaching and Research Fellow in American and General Literatures at the University of Basel.
