MANKIND: The Story of All of Us

Mankind: The Story of All of Us.
History Channel series (12 episodes), narrated by Josh Brolin. With a disagreeable but quite realistic emphasis on competition, war, conquest and domination. We are the children of war—somos hijos de la guerra. Some might say this is an American perspective, but I seem to recall that cultural materialists also say that the key to the history of mankind is the exploitation of natural resources, most prominently human resources, or humans as resources.

Oroonoko, or The Royal Slave

Oroonoko, or the Royal Slave

Oroonoko, or The Royal Slave is a novel by Aphra Behn (1640-1689). Aphra Behn was the first woman writer in England to make a living by her pen, and her novel Oroonoko was the first work published in English to express sympathy for African slaves. Perhaps based partly on Behn's own experiences living in Surinam, the novel tells the tragic story of a noble slave, Oroonoko, and his love Imoinda. The work was an instant success and was adapted for the stage in 1695 (and more recently by the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1999). Behn's work paved the way for women writers who came after her, as Virginia Woolf noted in A Room of One's Own (1928): "All women together ought to let flowers fall upon the tomb of Aphra Behn, ... for it was she who earned them the right to speak their minds." (Summary by Elizabeth Klett)

El narrador impersonal

 

Sigo publicando en el SSRN, por capítulos, mi libro sobre Beckett, y llegamos al capítulo 7:

 

El narrador impersonal

(Samuel Beckett y la narración reflexiva, 7).

Samuel Beckett y la Narración Reflexiva es un estudio en profundidad de la escritura experimental de Beckett, en especial de la trilogía novelística Molloy, Malone Dies, y The Unnamable, desde la perspectiva de la narratología estructuralista y las teorías estructuralistas sobre la enunciación. Resulta de allí no sólo una mejor comprensión de la técnica utilizada por Beckett para transmitir su peculiar visión de la realidad, sino también toda una nueva gama de significaciones en estos textos. En este capítulo examinamos la voz narrativa de The Unnamable (El Innombrable) como la culminación del proceso de vaciado crítico de la narración homodiegética o en primera persona iniciado en las novelas anteriores de la trilogía.

 

"Samuel Beckett and Reflexive Narrative" is an in-depth study of Beckett’s experimental writing, more specifically of the novelistic trilogy "Molloy," "Malone Dies" and "The Unnamable," from the standpoint of structuralist theories of narrative and of enunciation. An increased insight is thereby obtained into the technique used by Beckett to articulate his peculiar view of reality, and a new dimension of signification of these texts emerges. This chapter examines the use of narrative voice in "The Unnamable" as a culmination of the critical emptying out of homodiegetic or first-person narrative begun in the previous novels of the trilogy.
