Abstract:

Abstract: The role that confession plays in Nabokov's fiction remains poorly understood, though the same can be said for confessional fiction in general. Part of the problem lies in the slipperiness of the word "confession" itself, which is why this essay begins by defining confession as a performative speech act through which the speaking or writing subject seeks to form, reform, and transform herself, addressing herself to another who is called to act as a witness to this creative act of self(trans)formation—a process akin to Nabokov's own description of a poet (not a "loony") who "peels off

Abstract:

Abstract: The search for the author(s) of Nabokov’s Pale Fire arises from a fundamental misunderstanding of the problem of repetition and its relation to the question of origins, temporal and timeless. For insofar as an origin is a thing ( res ) that is not always already in the movement of repetition (identical or otherwise), however distantly removed from its source (finite or otherwise), there can be no finite or immanent origin in the book or in the world. There is only its sign, which incorporates and refracts within its generative gaze all the temporalities and identities as non-identica

O presente trabalho se propõe a explorar o problema da autoconsciência metaficcional na obra de Vladimir Nabokov a partir da figura de John Shade, o autor fictício de “Pale Fire”, poema que integra o peculiar romance de mesmo título. A reflexão metafísica de Shade, ao ser separada do romance que a contém – uma possibilidade concretizada por uma edição de 2011 do poema, produzida pela Gingko Press –, serve então como via de acesso para se considerar a relação entre os diversos artistas criados por Nabokov e o próprio escritor. Isso levará, por sua vez, à investigação da concepção de natureza su

Abstract:

Abstract: The essay traces Nabokov's representation of women from the Russian-language works in which he shows a sustained interest in women's lives to the English-language works whose plots often double as whodunnits, driven as they are by questions such as "who is she?" and "what has she done?" I argue that The Real Life of Sebastian Knight, "The Vane Sisters," Lolita, Pale Fire, and Ada dramatize what feminist commentators have identified as properties of patriarchal literary representation: the primacy of women coupled by their absence (De Lauretis), under-description (Heldt), and action d

Abstract:

This article examines the narrative technique employed by V. V. Nabokov in his novel “Pale Fire,” reflecting postmodern skepticism towards metanarratives by subverting the formal elements of literary texts. The narrative is presented through the lens of an unreliable first-person narrator, Charles Kinbote, who, in his self-appointed role as commentator on John Shade’s poetic text, challenges established narrative norms, thereby destabilizing the structure of the novel. The aim of this study is to trace how Kinbote’s irrationalist approach to linguistic nominations complicates the reader’s acce

A hardcover copy of the book appears in one scene, and it is quoted and covertly referenced in others. These appearances are like metafictive keys to a pattern of possible meanings, through which the film both embodies and reflects upon its method of archival replication.

Consequently, there has been a substantial alteration in the water-temperature regime of permafrost soils, which are formed under permafrost conditions.

Abstract Taking Nabokov’s Pale Fire as its tutor text, this chapter seeks to demonstrate that narrative functions as a complex or dynamic system. Due to the novel’s nonlinear and multiply configured format, a series of dissipative structures is provoked whereby states near equilibrium, on reaching states far from equilibrium under the weight of multiple causality, putting the system “beyond the threshold of stability” and “at the edge of chaos,” perpetually self-organize. Taking a cue from nonequilibrium thermodynamics, instabilities, it is argued, are inherent to narrative discourse. This cal

Abstract:

The two novels by Vladimir Nabokov treated in this paper – Lolita(1955) and Pale Fire (1962) – are among most famous and most successfully shaped examples of the employment of the unreliable narrator in the 20thcentury fiction. The author exploits numerous contradictions of this complex and often controversial narrative strategy, pointing towards its esthetic, semantic and ethical potentials. Humbert Humbert and Charles Kinbote are seductive and multi-talented narrators-characters, whose imagination, verbal gift and irresistibly attractive rhetoric overshadow their moral and psychological flaw
