Od…czytanie „Świata według T.S. Spiveta” Reifa Larsena. Część I: Wybrane szczegóły anatomiczne tekstu liberackiego
Journal Title: Prace Polonistyczne - Year 2016, Vol 0, Issue
Abstract
In the first part of the paper devoted to the multidimensional analysis and interpretation of the novel by Reif Larsen, I show that the liberary optics will allow its optimal reading. The analysis of the form of this work, its “flesh”, was carried out in relation to the proposals of Zenon Fajfer and Katarzyna Bazarnik — the founders of the liberature theory, which centres its interest on the materiality of the book as a physical object, focusing on the integrity of the form of the recording with the content conveyed. Selected anatomical details of a liberary text are its “external” characteristics, manifested mainly in the shape and the structure of the book, as well as in the related field of intermedia. I have established that the media conveying the meaning of The Selected Works of T.S. Spivet are: the text and the material form of the book, forming an organic whole; all its elements, including the non-verbal ones, are the media of its meaning. The important elements include, among others, its format imitating the shape and dimensions of a popular American spiral notebook; increased spacing mimicking printing rulings; multi-topic marginalia; a small font size — reflecting the handwriting of a young cartographer; numerical values (e.g.: the dimensions of the volume, the number of chapters, the numbering contained in infographics, the numbering of exhibits displayed on the cover and the website); transtextual operations (e.g.: intertextual quotation-motto, hypertextual graphic references to Moby Dick by Herman Melville or the metatextual reference to the philosophy of Plato).
