Research
The Ordinary Epic: Rethinking Epic Narrative Form in Modern French Literature and Thought
Andrew鈥檚 doctoral research constructs an alternative figure of the epic for the twenty-first century that he calls the ordinary epic. This deliberately contradictory pairing of the smallness of the ordinary with the grandeur of the epic is designed to bring together the more immediate experiences of ordinary life with a sense of the universal. By drawing together these contraries, the ordinary epic formulates an alternative mode of representing totality and unity to the imperialism of more classical epics and the fragmentary character of modernist literature. The underlying motivation for this research rests upon an effort to think through and meet the need for a mode of storytelling that endeavours, however provisionally and however fragile, to represent the whole.
The specific focus at the centre of the thesis is an engagement with 脡douard Glissant鈥檚 post-colonial idea of the tout-monde (the 鈥榓ll-world鈥�) and notion of global literature as well as George Perec鈥檚 inventive representation of the ordinary in an epic style. But the construction of this seemingly contradictory figure of the epic also responds to a shortcoming in recent critical scholarship on the epic. It is either understood to express imperialist ambitions or the passivity and impotence of the oppressed. This binary leaves little room for negotiation. There is no middle way. Either the epic repeats the limitless ambition of the hero or the endless subjection of the protagonist to the things and forces that beset them. Through Glissant, Perec, and others, the thesis proposes a counter-narrative that places the individual in a reciprocal relation with the world around them. The ordinary thus becomes a site for negotiation between the individual and the world, placing the narrative voice in the middle.听听听听听听听
