Soliloquy, Madness and Structure of the Other
Kotasová, Emma ; Petříček, Miroslav (advisor) ; Švec, Ondřej (referee)
The ambition of this thesis is to present the phenomenon of soliloquy as a thin line between losing the Other and finding him and to demonstrate that what speaks out of us is not necessarily an echo of madness, but rather a revelation of the other in his absence. Here, self-talk can serve as a situation in which, while we seriously transgress social conventions, we are in a real sense paradoxically claiming the Other, who is woven into us as the structure through which we access the world around us. The analysis of Tournier's novel Friday, or, The Other Island and Deleuze's afterword to this work will show how fundamental the role of the Other is in our approach to the world. These insights will then serve as the basis for an examination of how fundamental the nature of perceived reality is in relation to speech. Key words: soliloquy, madness, loneliness, structure of the other, structure of perception, measure, speech, Deleuze, Sartre, Tournier, Bernhard
