Workshop on Narrative Empathy - "When the first person becomes secondary : empathy and embedded narrative"

Résumé

The literary research on narrative often focuses now on the reader, and the effective manner as he is recepting the text. In this perspective, we can work in the way the author develops in turn some narrative strategies to drive the reader's feelings and thoughts ; especially about the character. Actually some characters seems to be the preferred support of empathy, like the heroe or main character - but we have to admit that these notions cannot be used to all narratives. More interesting is the fact that some situations – narrative situations, « intradiégétiques » to refer to Genette's vocabulary, but also narrative building, that is to say that the way the story is presented to a reader – are made to lead the reader's empathy. This last point is all the most important that a first reading may not notice the cause, just feeling the effect. One of these narrative strategies is the embedded narrative, in which the character is telling the story directly to the reader. The first-person narrator becomes secondary, and leaves his place to a more or less trustworthy narrator. This problem of trustworthiness takes the second place behind the empathy ; so the reader is taking another role in the story, unable to judge or to know what axiological system is operating now. At this point, empathy is overwhelming the other instances of reader (the reasonable reader for example), and how, that we want to consider in this paper.
