| 520 | |a One of the cardinal issues of late modernism, informing various twentieth century fictional and philosophical writings as well as the entire Western aesthetic tradition, is the highly problematic relationship between representation and authenticity. The particularly frequent motive of the Pygmalionic 'artist-model-work of art' complex, prominent in drama and narrative of Ibsen, Wilde, Pirandello and D'Annunzio, involves the abysmal rhetorical technique of the "written image", i.e. the hypotyposis of visual creation, which introduces the theme of the artistic doubling of and rivalry with nature into the verbal text. The paper aims to examine the metapoetical relations of Pirandello's short story Candelora to Poe's Oval Portrait, in so far as they both explore the trope of retroactive deadly effects which the creative or interpretational work performs on its primary "real" model, by rendering it secondary, alien, other to itself, as an uncanny intruder to be sacrificed, and thus not merely questioning, but erasing the preexistence of an original. Analogous to Lacan's illusionary mirror stage unifying appeasement of the sense of fragmentary dispersal of the body, this peculiar configuration of modernist hypotyposis stresses the vacancy of its own signified and establishes the sovereignty of the symbolic mediacy of words over "facts". Though imposing a suspension of moral judgements upon narrative events and persons as being doubly fictional wordly images of inexistent entities, representing what has never been present and therefore deprived of any claim to a truth correspondence, both short stories imply the question of the ethical dimension of (aesthetic) performatives, providing no unambiguous or decidable answers. | ||
