内容简介：
In the revolutionary French atmosphere of the 1960s, inspired by the processes of decolonization, students’, workers’, and women’s liberation as well as the consciousness-raising of the Holocaust, literary theory undergoes a radical transformation. In a very short time, it changes its established subject, focuses, and methodology by gradually becoming an all-embracing cross-disciplinary discourse, a theory with a big T. Its aim is to emancipate literature from all inherited historical, genre, and disciplinary boundaries, such as those between the past and present, oral and written, high and low, or literary and non-literary forms. Already the concept of writing (écriture) that was first introduced into the vocabulary of French literary theory in the famous essay Writing Degree Zero (1953) by its leading figure Roland Barthes, displayed such ambition but even more so the concept of narrative (récit) that was first introduced by Maurice Blanchot already in 1949. However, the meaning of both concepts turns out to have been equivocal from the very beginning. Due to that, through their theoretical reconfiguration they gradually replace their initially emancipatory with an imperial ambition, thus involuntarily paving the way for their dethronement by the new and allegedly more democratic concepts.
