- Title
Le narrateur mort au combat dans le roman de l'extrême contemporain (Ackerman, Meli, Miller).
- Authors
Weinmann, Frédéric
- Abstract
This article focuses on three novels that revisit a historical conflict (the invasion of Sicily during Italian unification, social tensions in 20th-century Jamaica and the second Iraq war) from the perspective of a posthumous narrator. Beyond the thematic relationship, its main purpose is to highlight similarities in the treatment of the narrator who is no longer, as in the realistic, modern and postmodern novel, conceived in the image of man, but who may be interpreted as a "being of spirit" inhabiting an individual or collective consciousness. These three examples illustrate the epistemological and narrative turning point that occurred at the dawn of the 21st century and that might be described, in keeping with Allan Kirby's proposal, as digimodernism.
