Beyond Determinism: Literary Plots of Uncertain Representation

Summary/Abstract: This review presents Maurice Fadel’s book “The Broken Frame: The Shifting of Representation in Literature”. The author examines the category of representation from both a literary-theoretical and a literary-historical perspective. Fadel’s approach is interdisciplinary, bringing together key authors and works from Bulgarian and world literature, in whose precise and insightful interpretive mechanisms concepts from Western literary theories are skillfully woven. The selection of the analyzed texts is based on the relationship of the respective work and/or its author to language and the construction of meaning, to the potentials for reaching spaces “beyond” clichés, conventions, and references. The book carries the heuristic charge of a serious literary study that addresses key questions regarding the end of literary theory, thereby constructing its own ontological concept.
