The Construction of an Alternative Subject

Abstract

The subject is linguistically constructed. The future of literary education depends on our attitude toward this proposition. Thus the aim of studies on modern fiction is not to be content with the discovery of its irreducible pluralism but to turn the effect of the “third term” into a certain substantial form of reading to understand the narrative mechanism of novels. This way of reading opens up a literary space where the reader can hear other voices through the narrator’s one. By such a radical relativization of the narrating subject it will be possible to construct an alternative subject.
