As this article endeavors to illustrate, Vila-Matas places himself on the edge of the abyss to the extent that he assumes the risk of failure when he fragments the protagonist, thus turning the action into a rambling disintegrated perspective, and moving freely through literary genres. The paper discusses how the author conceives his work in the eyes of readers who are challenged to become active participants in this creative act. It also analyzes how a willingness to take risks in his literary work has helped to establish Vila-Matas as a successful writer. What will happen to him when he crosses the shadow line of his triumph?","PeriodicalId":32174,"journal":{"name":"Acta Universitatis Carolinae Philologica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75493907","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nonetheless, he also shaped his poems and writings into a particular poetical anti-imperialism. Far from depicting the legends associated with this rebellious time, Gary Snyder built a “Real Work” of poetry by foreseeing the ecological crisis and the ecocide we are currently facing. Th e paper discusses how his anti-imperialism is composed of three poetical parts, which reshape our imagination: geopoetics, anthropoetics and cosmopolitics. Th e article demonstrates that Snyder’s poetry is about the language itself and about the three outsides of imperialism; geopoetics (otherness), anthropoetics (human beings) and cosmopolitics (how the first two combine into a new political outlook).","PeriodicalId":32174,"journal":{"name":"Acta Universitatis Carolinae Philologica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85566092","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The introduction provides a comprehensive account of the main motifs of this novel and, at the same time, of Gadda’s work in general; its main point being a polemic against the objections of critics, who perceive the writer as “baroque” and grotesque, i.e. a writer who uses an overly complex style and narrative structure and represents reality in a distorted way. Drawing on recent critical studies as well as on research carried out on Gadda’s contemporary critics, the paper focuses on certain aspects of the text, such as its genesis, structure and its central motifs.","PeriodicalId":32174,"journal":{"name":"Acta Universitatis Carolinae Philologica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82084939","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
