Die literarische Moderne ist ohne eine Vielzahl von Formen der Subjektentgrenzung kaum denkbar. Diese werden jedoch oft als Ausdruck tiefgreifender (Selbst-) Entfremdungsprozesse gewertet und selten in ihrer positiven Qualität als alternative Formen von Subjektivierung gewürdigt. Julia Weber deutet literarische Ich-Vervielfältigungen dagegen als schöpferische Auseinandersetzungen mit verlorenen Subjektgarantien. Gerade die Texte Fernando Pessoas, Samuel Becketts und Friederike Mayröckers reizen den mit der Ich-Vervielfältigung einhergehenden Kontrollverlust mit jeweils unterschiedlichen literarischen Strategien so weit aus, dass alternative Formen einer multiplen Subjektivität sichtbar werden.

What can we currently make of 'the subject'? Under the sway of structuralism and poststructuralism, critical thinking took a distinctly negative turn, effectively disqualifying any form of subjectivity as a reference point in discussions of textual or literary meaning. Since the mid-1970s, however, throughout the human sciences, human agency has been restored as both a methodological principle and an ethical value: a phenomenon broadly designated as 'the return of the subject'. Yet the returning subject bears the traces of its problematization. The present collection of essays explores the ways in which the subject now 'matters', both in principle and in the variety of critical approaches in authorizes. Essays, which are both literary and theoretical in character, cover authors, texts and issues in French literature from Descartes to the present. A wide range of types of writing is examined, from established forms such as the novel to relatively marginal and generically unsystematized discursive practices such as automatic writing and the 'récit de rêve'. Though it shuns 'closure' in a matter which remains ultimately elusive, this book offers some account of the types of answer which remain open and of those we have learned to leave behind.
