Narratives, construction and narrative rhythms

Abstract

Starting from some definitions of ―account‖ and from the essential condition of speech practice in human activities I point out some distinctive features in literary account and its fictional condition, the importance of enunciation and reception and of the non-verifiable contract from that recognition as well as the ambiguity and polisemy that multiply its symbolic value. I also tackle the relation between the creator, the literary piece of work and the reader, compared to the situation of analyst and analyzed emphasizing two important differences: in the first case the relation is in absence and in the second in presence; in the first case the literary object, the piece of work exists and its significants are constant whereas the object created in the analyst-analized relation is virtual. In the end I point out the fragmentation of the accounts in the van of progress, stressed in today‘s intense civilization which seems to threaten the capacity to elaborate of the contemporary man.
