| Summary |
In Gewalt und Unmaking in Lucans Bellum Civile Hans-Peter Nill offers a theoretical approach to essential narrative representations of violence in Lucan's civil war epic, combining theories and methods of narratology, reception aesthetics, and sociology. The focus of the analyses lies on the configurations and modes of violence as represented in the text. The objective is to present 'Lucanesque violence' as a multifaceted, open structure, instead of reducing it to allegedly 'typical' scenes. The study aims to demonstrate that the narrated world (fabula) and its narrative representation (story) become dynamically intertwined by means of violence, which has a disturbing effect on narrative immersion. Altogether, Unmaking is exemplified by aspects such as aesthetics and mutilation, densification, tension, suspense, and excess"-- Provided by publisher |
