Literary Works and Theories As Interweaving

Literary Works and Theories As Interweaving

&nbsp;&nbsp;In this paper, I will prove that literary theories originate from literary works. In order to support it, I will examine literary theorists&quot; literary concepts, literary theories, and narratology. They are Auerbach, Booth, James, Scholes, Kellogg, Barthes, and Frye. The common fact is for them literary theories are drawn from Western literary works, even from Bible.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;In particular, collage and montage are essential for the literary strategies or devices. These are Derrida&quot;s montage, Benjamin&quot;s allegory, and Serres&quot;s parasite. As for these whole relationships, literary theories and literary works are on the same way, although they have their own way to explore.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;Also for the relationship of philosophical thoughts and imaginations to literary works, Deleuze sets up the significant meaning of nonsense, referring to Lewis&quot;s Alice in Wonderland. He emphasizes nonsense instead of sense in order to solve the paradoxes of things. He draws his metaphysics of nonsense from a literary book. Blanchot also relates his neutre writing to "The Gaze of Orpheus," and proposes it as his literary and linguistic construction for the exploration of the origin of the literary work. Bataille&quot;s transgression is the same as the work of Blanchot&quot;s neutre.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;As philosophical concepts have such relationship with literature, so are systems theory, field theory, and chaos theory necessary for literature. All literature is not proper for that.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;Some literature has other objectives with the help of such theories. In such a case, literature and theories have the same goal, that is, the same exploration of the ultimate truth by way of the relationship of complementarity of literature and theories.
