Sur la syllepse narrative – Un concept théorique négligé

På svenska

Author

  • Liviu Lutas

Summary, in English

In this article I discuss a narrative device, the narrative syllepsis, which has not received much attention in literary theory until now. The narrative syllepsis was first defined by French literary theorist Gérard Genette as a narrative device where different temporalities merge. The concept has however not been used att a larger scale after Genette, something I find surprising taking into consideration the frequency of the phenomenon. In the article I use exemples from both literature and film in order to show the applicability of the concept, at the same time as I discuss it at a theoretical level.
