| Περίληψη: | This essay questions the narrative regime developed by Blake Butler’s 300,000,000 and aims to show that the reflexivity that the text builds upon downplays rather than enhances the hermeneutic approach. If the text constantly feeds back upon itself in order to reflect (upon) its own gestures and moves as well as its very inscription on the page, its aim is to undo any sort of relation to reading conceived of as a grasping mode and to underlie instead some form of absolute (or “severance” in its etymological sense recalled by Quentin Meillassoux) perceptible in the diverse ways the text eludes any readerly grasp. As it obfuscates its many leads, as it warps the syntax to opacify its own discourse, as it also renders problematic any analytical understanding of the text, 300,000,000 rather consists in some sort of speculative fiction understood philosophically, whose main characteristic would be to interrogate the very status of the text-as-object. |
