What do we not tell about ourselves? The limits of Paul Ricoeur's narrative identity
Smolíková, Barbora ; Čapek, Jakub (advisor) ; Petříček, Miroslav (referee)
The aim of this thesis is the explication of Paul Ricoeur's term narrative identity. The explication is focused on nondiscursive structures which shape stories but are not themselves articulated. The first part explains the term in the context of Ricoeur's distinction between idem and ipse personal identities. The second part then moves to the question of the relation between life and narrative; the concept of distanciation is applied to the narrative identity problematics and subsequently, it is shown how literary narratives can refigure the experience. In the third part, Ricoeur's conception is confronted with some objections, which also point towards further unarticulated conditions of the narrative identity. The thesis emphasizes the instability and changeability of this identity. The fourth part applies the foregoing explication of refiguration of experience through literature to other art forms and opens the topic of experience which is impossible to articulate. The conclusion makes a distinction between the three senses of limits of narrative identity: firstly unarticulated conditions shaping narratives, secondly experience impossible to articulate and thirdly critique of the conception.
