While for Lukács the novel is fated to eventually give way to the epos and the “infinitude” of which it is the bearer, Benjamin notes the characteristics of this passing of the baton, placing it within the framework of what W. J. Ong will call “second orality.” PY - 2022 DA - 2022/06/29 DP - Classiques Garnier PB - Classiques Garnier CY - Paris KW - Walter Benjamin, Georg Lukács, novel, tale, transmission, second orality LA - fre UR - https://classiques-garnier.com/romanesques-2022-revue-du-cercll-roman-romanesque-n-14-l-humain-devant-et-dans-la-nature-walter-benjamin-the-narrator.html Y2 - 2024/05/31 ER -
