    'First the Place, Then I'll Find Me in It': The Unnamable's Pronouns and the Politics of Confinement

  • Original language description

    This chapter analyses the pronominal anomalies of The Unnamable, in which a series of confined spaces are subject to &apos;denarration&apos;. The chapter argues that the spatial uncertainty of Beckett&apos;s novel is inseparable from its &apos;denarration&apos; of the narrative self, a self-negation which is even more forceful in the English translation&apos;s disjunctive use of non-reflexive object pronouns (such as in the phrase &apos;I&apos;ll find me&apos;). The chapter traces the pronominal politics of The Unnamable back to Beckett&apos;s early poetry, arguing for the influence of John Keats on this aspect of Beckett&apos;s poetics. The oblique allusion to the incarceration of Antonin Artaud in the novel provides an example of Beckett&apos;s engagement with writers critical of carceral institutions; it also demonstrates the resistance to interpretation of his closed spaces within a fixed political paradigm.
