封面
Bucknell University Press, 2002 - 254 頁
"This study explores the reconstruction of identity in the context of post-totalitarian Spain and, more widely, of postmodern Western culture. On the levels of individual, family, regional, national, and international identity, Fernandez Cubas's characters experience quintessentially postmodern crises of subjectivity with their search for cohesion in the midst of disjunction. How do we define who we are? How do we develop our identities in contention with or collusion with other people?

第 33 頁 - The confession is a ritual of discourse in which the speaking subject is also the subject of the statement; it is also a ritual that unfolds within a power relationship, for one does not confess without the presence (or virtual presence) of a partner who is not simply the interlocutor but the authority who requires the confession, prescribes and appreciates it, and intervenes in order to judge, punish, forgive, console, and reconcile...
