{"title":"The Poetics of “Pure Invention”: John Banville’s Ghosts / A Poética da “Invencão Pura”: Ghosts, de John Banville","authors":"Neil Murphy","doi":"10.37389/abei.v22i1.3851","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.37389/abei.v22i1.3851","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract: This essay argues that John Banville’s Ghosts (1993) may in fact be Banville’s most technically inventive novel, replete as it is with multi-layered ontological levels that repeatedly bring its primary diegetic discourse into communion with other artistic forms – music, paintings, statues, as well as a narrative saturation with other literary antecedents that exceeds anything found elsewhere in his work. Ghosts demonstrates an implicit layering of dialectical levels, in effect a narrative enactment of the multiple worlds theory that so fascinates several of Banville’s narrators. Nowhere else does he generate so comprehensive a model of a multi-level ontological system in which the levels intersect so purposefully as Ghosts. This essay maps out a topography of what is effectively a sophisticated fictional variant on the scientific multiple worlds theory in Ghosts, and offers some perspectives on the significance of this aesthetic model.Resumo: Este ensaio argumenta que Ghosts (1993), de John Banville, pode considerado o romance mais tecnicamente inventivo de Banville, repleto de niveis ontologicos com diversas camadas que trazem, repetidamente, seu discurso diegetico primario em comunhao com outras formas artisticas – musica, pinturas, estatuas, bem como uma saturacao narrativa com outros antecedentes literarios que excedem qualquer coisa encontrada em outro lugar em sua obra. Ghosts demonstra uma camada implicita de niveis dialeticos que sao, de fato, uma encenacao narrativa da teoria dos multiplos mundos que tanto fascinam muitos dos narradores de Banville. Em nenhum outro lugar ele gera um modelo tao abrangente de um sistema ontologico com diferentes niveis que se cruzam tao propositadamente quanto em Ghosts. Este ensaio mapeia uma topografia do que e efetivamente uma variante ficticia sofisticada da teoria cientifica de multiplos mundos em Ghosts, e oferece algumas perspectivas sobre a importância desse modelo estetico.","PeriodicalId":29863,"journal":{"name":"EIGSE-A JOURNAL OF IRISH STUDIES","volume":"11 1","pages":"109-120"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87220079","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Reviewers have hailed it as a pastiche faithful to the style and dramatic situation of the classic work for which it offers a sequel, Henry James’s The Portrait of a Lady (1881). This essay argues that Mrs Osmond dismantles all the central elements of Portrait. Its manner of doing so shows the fundamental importance of a quality often observed in Banville’s male narrators—misanthropy—to the design of his novels, particularly its close connection to the aspect of his work most highlighted by scholars: metafictional self-reflexivity. Resumo: Mrs. Osmond (2017) e o unico entre os romances nao pseudonimicos de John Banville a ter uma protagonista feminina e nenhuma voz em primeira pessoa.

Este ensaio argumenta que Mrs. Osmond desmonta todos os elementos centrais de Portrait.

{"title":"Ageing John Banville: from Einstein to Bergson / O Tempo em John Banville: de Einstein a Bergson","authors":"Nicholas Taylor-Collins","doi":"10.37389/abei.v22i1.3855","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.37389/abei.v22i1.3855","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract: There is a clear engagement with theories of time across Banville’s oeuvre, from his earliest published work through to the twenty-first-century novels. I explore how, in their engagement with age and ageing, Banville’s characters adopt and interrogate Albert Einstein’s and Henri Bergson’s competing ideas of the present and the passage of time, sliding from favouring the former to prioritising the latter. Martin Heidegger’s conception of Dasein, a Being-toward-death, allows me to explore how Banville’s characters evoke either Einstein’s spacetime and series of nows, or Bergson’s psychologised Duration ( Duree ). This is borne out in Gabriel Godkin’s subverted and anti-atavistic narrative in Birchwood (1973), the battle over authenticity between Copernicus and Rheticus in Doctor Copernicus (1976), and how Hermes controls the mortals’ time and tries his best to age in The Infinities (2009). I conclude that Banville’s characters’ evolving preference for Bergsonian over Einsteinian tropes indicates an acceptance and happy engagement with the ageing process. Resumo: Ha um claro envolvimento com as teorias do tempo na obra de Banville como um todo, desde em seus primeiros livros publicados ate nos romances do seculo XXI. Considerando os conceitos de idade e envelhecimento, exploro como os personagens de Banville adotam e interrogam as ideias concorrentes de Albert Einstein e Henri Bergson sobre o presente e a passagem do tempo, deixando de favorecer o primeiro e priorizando o segundo. A concepcao de Martin Heidegger de Dasein, um Ser em direcao a morte, permite-me explorar como os personagens de Banville evocam a relacao espaco-tempo de Einstein e series de “agoras”, ou a Duracao psicologizada de Bergson ( Duree ). Isso e confirmado na narrativa subvertida e anti-atavica de Gabriel Godkin em Birchwood (1973), na batalha pela autenticidade entre Copernicus e Rheticus em Doctor Copernicus (1976), e na forma como Hermes controla o tempo dos mortais e tenta o seu melhor para envelhecer em The Infinities (2009). Concluo que a preferencia crescente dos personagens de Banville pelos tropos bergsonianos e einsteinianos indica uma aceitacao e um envolvimento bem-sucedido com o processo de envelhecimento.","PeriodicalId":29863,"journal":{"name":"EIGSE-A JOURNAL OF IRISH STUDIES","volume":"20 1","pages":"159-172"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89311379","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
