Fiction, Illusion, Reality, and Radical Narration

Original language description

The author focuses on the nature of the aesthetic illusion generated by the texts of narrative fiction. Rather than presenting it as a kind of mental state produced in the reader’s mind by the aesthetic powers of the text, he approaches it as a kind of attitude that the reader is required to adopt, by making certain interpretive moves opening her access to the literary functions of the text. According to the author, these moves include approaching the sentences occuring in the text as records of utterances made by the narrator - an inhabitant of the actual world telling us what happened in this world. The author explains (in confrontation with G. Currie, M.-L. Ryan and other theorists of fiction) the consequences of this approach concerning the role of fictional names, the nature of fictional characters, the function of highly non-standard ways of narrating etc.
