Littérature et résistance morale: une lecture de Jean Rhys, Good Morning Midnight
Letteratura e resistenza morale. Una lettura di Jean Rhys, Good Morning Midnight
Résumé
Drawing from Mikhaïl Bakhtin's dialogism and Martha Nussbaum's moral
particularism, we propose to understand the ways in which literature can
express and support moral resistance. The argument is the following: when a
literary work is written with an attention to particulars (comprising the
elements of contextuality, incommensurability and surprise, following
Nussbaum's analysis in Love's Knowledge (1990)), it is capable of
showing what is denied by oppressive representations of human beings: namely,
that each person constitutes a unique point of view and a unique voice,
resisting the identity assignations necessary for political and social
oppression. Within this theoretical background, we propose an analysis of
Jean Rhys' literary works, especially Good Morning Midnight (1939).
