Abstract

Les marges du texte, les multiples acceptions du mot « marges » dans le contexte écossais contemporain : telles sont les pistes que cet ouvrage tente de suivre. L'étude, entièrement consacrée à Alasdair Gray, mais mettant en relation l'œuvre de ce dernier avec celles de ses contemporains et de ses illustres prédécesseurs, explore la capacité des marges - tout ce que Genette nomme le paratexte - à modifier, embrouiller, commenter, devancer, voire même devenir le texte. Elle étudie notamment le tissage étroit entre les illustrations grayiennes et « leur » texte, l'inversion occasionnelle de la priorité entre texte et image, et plus largement l'investissement et la textualisation de l'espace périphérique du livre chez Gray. La notion d'intertextualité est également examinée de près, pour ce qu'elle informe l'œuvre de Gray tout entière, et ce qu'elle voit ses mécanismes principaux détournés à but de subversion. De pièges en erreurs, de commentaires en contradictions, c'est à un véritable jeu de piste jubilatoire que ce livre est conduit.

Abstract

Alasdair Gray's writing, and in particular his great novel Lanark: A Life in Four Books (1981), is often read as a paradigm of postmodern practice. This study challenges that view by presenting an analysis that is at once more conventional and more strongly radical. By reading Gray in his cultural and intellectual context, and by placing him within the tradition of a Scottish history of ideas that has been largely neglected in contemporary critical writing, Gavin Miller re-opens contact between this highly individualistic artist and those Scottish and European philosophers and psychologists who helped shape his literary vision of personal and national identity. Scottish social anthropology and psychiatry (including the work of W. Robertson Smith, J.G. Frazer and R.D. Laing) can be seen as formative influences on Gray's anti-essentialist vision of Scotland as a mosaic of communities, and of our social need for recognition, acknowledgement and the common life.
