Description
Summary:The present study scrutinizes the multifocal manifestations and grotesque comportments of "monstrousness" in the narrative prose of Éric Chevillard (Scalps and Démolir Nisard). Focusing on and questioning "monstrous" instances and ghastly verbal episodes in the contemporary author's works and the compelling dynamic that drives such impulse (e.g., violence revealing a determinative performativity in the establishment of monstrous individuals), this text seeks to illuminate the problematics of displacement and subversion associated with linguistic virulence and "monster-speak" with which Chevillard imbues his narrative.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
