Qualità della memoria e possibilità di una “totalità letteraria”

Abstract

This article is grounded in the theoretical work of Foucault (“Qu‘est-ce qu‘un auteur?”) and Lukács (Die Theorie des Romans) so as to address the interdependent transformation of subject and object in today’s world, in an age of widespread technologies of sensitivity.
