Toward an Aesthetic of Nominalization: Thomas Bernhard’s Early Prose
Abstract
Many critics have marked two major phases in Thomas Bernhard's prose production; the first would cover from Frost (1963) to Korrektur (1975) and the second the remaining works. The purpose of this article is to study how in early prose style is articulated around great concepts that undergo a process of nominalization that strips them of their traditional meaning and establishes them in a new philosophical-perceptual order. In this way, the representative capacities of the language are reflected and a split between the common world and the individual world of the characters is established.
