Translated title:
The theory of the critic and the poetics of the novelist and vice versa: the critical and literary work of Alexandros Kotzias
Summary:
The present thesis examines the critical and literary work of Alexandros Kotzias (1926-1992), focusing particularly on the deep-rooted connection and interaction between the two. The stylistic thread that weaves together the critic and writer’s critical and literary work is “pseudo-realism”. Αs a critical theory, Kotzias’ “pseudo-realism” is essentially structured on a verisimilar representation of space, time and characters. Verisimilitude constitutes the author’s primary writing technique in his novels, while simultaneously defining the core of his poetics. Thus organized, Kotzias’ narrative universe is consistently oriented towards the polyphonic novel. The latter, grounded on the interrelated concepts of heteroglossia/polyglossia and intertextuality, employs complex narrative structures to unfold aspects of dialogism, namely the dialogical conceptualization of language (as combative inter-action) and of human consciousness (as the infinite product of responsive interactions between the Self and the Other).
