Eugène Fromentin’s novel Dominique (1862) upholds the French tradition of the psychological novel during the era of realism. Roland Barthes interpreted the epicene name-title as a reflection of the protagonist’s gender and identity ambiguity. However, a thorough analysis of the novel’s onomastic system reveals its broader implications, which can greatly contribute to an overall interpretation. The various strategies employed, such as the use of epicene names, antonomasia, paronomasia, and ano-nymity, demonstrate Fromentin’s poetics of naming and its connection to a modern crisis of identity.
Pubblicato in pieno periodo realista, Dominique (1862) di Eugène Fromentin perpetua la tradizione francese del romanzo di introspezione psicologica. Roland Barthes ha visto nel nome-titolo epiceno un indizio dell’indeterminatezza di genere, se non identitaria, del protagonista; ma il sistema onomastico del romanzo merita un’analisi più estesa che ne metta in luce le diverse implicazioni, tutte potenzialmente proficue per un’interpretazione complessiva. Le strategie messe in atto (nome epiceno, antonomasia, paronomasia, anonimato) illustrano la poetica del nome in Fromentin, legata a una moderna crisi di identità.

Abstract
Eugène Fromentin’s novel Dominique (1862) upholds the French tradition of the psychological novel during the era of realism. Roland Barthes interpreted the epicene name-title as a reflection of the protagonist’s gender and identity ambiguity. However, a thorough analysis of the novel’s onomastic system reveals its broader implications, which can greatly contribute to an overall interpretation. The various strategies employed, such as the use of epicene names, antonomasia, paronomasia, and ano-nymity, demonstrate Fromentin’s poetics of naming and its connection to a modern crisis of identity.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
