dc.description.abstract | Prompted by the critical void in affect theory about how literary affects are created, the present MA thesis aims to analyse the emotional response to negative empathy precisely as a literary narratological construction. To do so, drawing on L. Doležel’s conception of the theory of mimesis as a “possible-world semantics” and on the subsequent understanding of fictional narratives as “parasocial” worlds (Oatley), the main body of this MA thesis will consist on a narratological analysis of T. Capote’s In Cold Blood and J. Littell’s Les bienveillantes. This examination of both novels focuses on the literary devices ―which I have called “empathic builders” ― that promote an empathic engagement with negative characters. On the one hand, it reveals in-text negative empathy to be a formal phenomenon with a material dimension; on the other hand, it exemplifies the capacity of literary texts to enlarge the reader’s affective and empathic capacity | ca |
