Description
Summary:Studying two of Luigi Pirandello’s first and last stories, Il fu Mattia Pascal (1904) and Uno, nessuno e centomilla (1926), we will show that Pirandello’s fiction performs a reconfiguration of the character, and how it is linked to the removal of narrative instance that Flaubert’s text inaugurated. With the loss of personalization in Flaubert and the identity loss in Pirandello, the story creates a contraction which seals a collapse of being and its certainties while forming a new method for restoring reality. The erasure of the narrator as well as the character’s diffraction are the manifestations of a sensory awareness of the world which spreads and multiplies its perception while allowing for a “sharing” (Rancière).
