William Faulkner: calendari, orologi e altri disperati tentativi di dominare il tempo
Abstract
Il saggio analizza L’urlo e il furore e l’implosione di ogni coerenza temporale nei romanzi di Faulkner. Almeno fino all’inizio del Novecento, la forma del romanzo ha coinciso con la forma narrativa, ossia con l’ordine del racconto (Musil), forse l’unica contrainte a cui il romanzo, nella sua libertà, era tenuto a obbedire. A partire da una nuova esperienza e una nuova percezione del tempo, le sperimentazioni portate avanti dal modernismo mirano a un’erosione dell’ordine narrativo, rompendo i limiti della mimesi aristotelica, alla ricerca di una diversa nozione (e di una diversa pratica) di “realismo”. Nella conclusione, il saggio invita a riflettere sulla forma-romanzo oggi, chiedendosi se la forza perturbante e provocatoria del modernismo appartenga ancora all’orizzonte letterario della nostra contemporaneità.This essay focuses on The Sound and the Fury and the implosion of all temporal cohesion in Faulkner’s novel(s). Up until the beginning of the Twentieth Century, the form of the novel coincided with narrative form, that is, narrative order, which is perhaps the only constraint the novel was forced to obey. Starting from a new experience and perception of time, much experimentation carried out by modernism revolves precisely around the erosion of narrative: breaking the limits of Aristotelian mimesis, searching for a different notion (and practice) of “realism”. In conclusion, the essay invites readers to reflect on the novel-form today, questioning whether the provocative and disruptive force of modernism’s experimentation still belongs to our contemporary literary horizon.
