Towards A Dialogical Realism In The American Postmodernist Derealized Novel: Abnegation And Legitimization
Authors : Améziane Souad .
Abstract
Abstract: Central to the argument that this article constructs about the critical state of the postmodern American novel is the contention that realism, in spite of its obsolescence and the sardonic backlash and antipathy it has often been subject to by postmodernists, has sprung back and has witnessed a resuscitation in the American postmodernist fiction to outlast those critical movements that have ostensibly buried it in a daring attempt to capture the manifold inanities of the postmodern cultural pathology. Presumably, the present study embraces as a matter of principle realism’s capacity to modernize itself via mingling supposedly antagonistic aesthetic to go beyond the bounds of mimesis. Acknowledging the existence of reconfigured and hybridized avatars of the classic realist formula is a methodological requirement for critics interested in the perpetuation of referential fiction into the cultural periods where it was no longer hegemonic. Accordingly the reflections developed in this paper amount to the urgency of the adoption of a new and viable reading paradigm of the postmodern novel that substantiates the fact that their intricate textual scaffolding may act as a referential apparatus capable of supporting the realist agenda.
