TY - JOUR TI - On enclosed place, open spaces and certain intruder(s) AU - Sosień, Barbara TI - On enclosed place, open spaces and certain intruder(s) AB - In the story Légende de Seppê-Kaas au jour des Morts by Eugène Demolder every element is doubled. First of all, it concerns the composition, that is, the temporal and spatial structure of the text: the location, Belgium, i.e. the North versus Italy, i.e. the South; the time: present and retrospective past, the narrator: hetero- and homodiegetic. Next, there are the elements of diegesis, which define the narrative dynamics, as well as the symbolic imaginary stratum: ascetic minimalism and erotic freedom, darkness and light, naturalistic literariness and symbolic ambiguity. Cohesion is provided by the ubiquitous image of death: it is death that determines both the sense of current events and the significance of the scenes generated by memories, or, possibly, illusions of the eponymous protagonist-narrator.   VL - Volume 16 (2016) IS - Volume 16, Issue 1 PY - 2016 SN - 1732-8705 C1 - 2084-3917 SP - 47 EP - 55 DO - 10.4467/20843917RC.16.005.5698 UR - https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/romanica-cracoviensia/article/eugene-demolder-la-legende-de-seppe-kaas-au-jours-des-morts-sur-le-lieu-clos-les-espaces-ouverts-et-quelques-intrus-es KW - doubling KW - eponymous narrator KW - Belgium KW - Italy KW - naturalistic literariness KW - symbolic ambiguity KW - death
