| 内容記述 | This article offers a reading of contemporary American writer Dawn Raffel’s memoir entitled The Secret Life of Objects, published by Jade Ibis Press in 2012, focusing on the affective, mnemonic, narrative and symbolic significances that it attaches to objects. My reading seeks to embed Raffel’s book in a larger reflection on the meanings of objects in literature and more generally in art, and the ways in which they function as extensions of the self and connectors between people, generations and time periods. The article draws on the history of objects in art in order to understand the specificity of Raffel’s approach. Surrealism appears as an important landmark due its promotion of the banal object to the status of carrier of tremendous symbolic meaning. Raffel is remotely indebted to the Surrealist celebration of objects, but her focus is on the affective and social dimension that characterizes our relationship with certain objects and on the role the latter play in the construction of identity and memory. Personal identities and histories are seen as intertwined with and inferable from the familiar objects that surround us. The object appears as a “psychic mediator” (Tisseron) that stimulates reminiscence and storytelling. The title of the article (an inversion of Austin’s well-known How to Do Things with Words) captures precisely this discursive and mnemonic potential of objects in Raffel’s text. Raffel invites us to think about how we can do “words with things,” that is start from objects in order to perform a linguistic exploration of memory, temporality, self and intersubjectivity. |
