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. La escritura de Beckett se revela como una escritura reflexiva,
que juega deliberadamente con las convenciones de la representación para
trascenderlas y transformarlas. Su sentido se construye en gran medida
mediante la desconstrucción paródica de los procedimientos narrativos
tradicionales. La metodología estructural desarrollada para el análisis
narrativo resulta así ser especialmente adecuada para enfrentarse a la
escritura metaficcional de Beckett: debido a la extremada reflexividad
de esta obra, el poder explicativo del método va más allá de lo que
tradicionalmente se considerarían cuestiones formales, ya que la forma
se ha tematizado, ha pasado a a ser el contenido mismo de la obra de
Beckett, la base de su articulación narrativa. En este capítulo
examinamos los movimientos narrativos de la trilogía (narración de
acontecimientos y de palabras, descripción y comentario), con atención
especial a la transformación a que se ven sometidas las categorías
narrativas tradicionales, especialmente los nuevos usos de la
temporalidad narrativa y del punto de vista.
English Abstract: 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. Beckett's writing is revealed as a
reflexive writing, playing deliberately with the conventions of
narrative representation in order to transcend and transform them. Its
sense is largely built through the parodic deconstruction of traditional
narrative procedures. The structural methodology deployed for narrative
analysis is, then, most adequate to deal with Beckett's metafictional
writing: because of the extreme reflexivity of these works, the
explanatory power of this method extends beyond the traditionally formal
aspects, given than form has become thematized and has become the
subject matter of Beckett's writing, the basis of its narrative
articulation. This chapter examines narrative movements of Beckett's
trilogy with a special focus on the transformation undergone by
traditional narrative categories, in particular the novel use of
narrative time and of point of view.
