Writing: Imprisonment and Freedom

Производитель: "LAP Lambert Academic Publishing"

Within is an argument that writing is a struggle of imprisonment and freedom. I argue that a text gains a certain level of power, such that it controls the writer, reader, and critic alike. Yet at the same time, the work presents all of these people with a possibility of freedom, seducing them in with the task of sharing the text s secret or deeper meaning via indirect communication. This imprisonment is voluntary if the reader wishes to engage with the text in a way that opens the text for a revelation of a deeper meaning, unique to each reader. The writer offers his text as a gift, an idea heavily influenced by Jacques Derrida s writings in The Gift of Death. I argue that that the presence and absence of the secret is one element of the author s work, which creates the relationship of confinement and freedom identified with writing. ISBN:9783659482755
