Descrição

This paper focuses on the idea of the grammatical third person as organizing principle for the 43rd tale of Marguerite de Navarre’s Heptaméron. The third person encompasses several relevant domains, among them the assignation of gender, the function of proper names, and Benveniste’s notion of “histoire” for storytelling. Exploring the ramifications of the “nom” in and around Heptaméron 43 elucidates characters’ and protagonists’ apparent obsession with naming and reveals necessary differences between masculine and feminine responses to the courtly imperative to entertain with witty speech and stories.
