La fragmentation dans l'écriture durassienne : marges textuelles
subject
paratextfragmentationsilencethresholdDurasdescription
The work of Marguerite Duras draws on such concepts as rejection, loss, and transgression. A deviation from the current norms and rules of language and rhetoric is part of a wider reflection on the discourse of women in the public sphere. The issue of exclusion in Duras’s texts resonates particularly strongly in the context of ‘thresholds’ of paratext defined by Gerard Genette. Such analysis shows the coexistence of text and nontext in the creative process. The author avoids explicitness to underscore the specificity of her unfinished/broken writing. Particularly noteworthy is the fragmentation of the meta-narrative. Using decomposition, cross-genre, and silence, Duras makes the reader aware of the paradox of her works, intertwining literary fiction with reality and striving to grasp the complexity of the condition of women.
