La textualización y visualización de rupturas narrativas en dos dramatículas de Samuel Beckett: las limitaciones del saber metafísico

Abstract

Through the textual analysis of the two dramaticules, Not I and A piece of monologue, and the study of their respective film adaptations, the current essay considers the impossibility of the metaphysical knowing as well as the inevitable rupture of the verbal and visual narratives in the case of the dying “inactors” who are about to pass over to the ineffable. Furthermore, the argument is put forward that, bound by the limitations of the human condition, their attempts to recount the inexpressible and transgress the limits of knowledge fail as they lack the means to offer a logical representation.
