reviewed The Fictive and the Imaginary: Charting Literary Anthropology on November 20, 2007 The Fictive and the Imaginary: Charting Literary Anthropology
Some people knock reader-response theory, but I was hooked after reading Iser's work. Basically, there's a constant interplay between author, reader and text that allows the reader to extend beyond the self into the realm of the imaginary. In this book, Iser contends that this stepping beyond the self stems from an anthropological desire and that the interplay between the imaginary and acts of fictionalizing (is thatreally a word Mr. Iser?) allows us to do so.
