Post-structuralism approach to plot: Kundera against Aristotle(case study: Immortality novel)
This article investigates concept of plot in thoughts of Aristotle and Kundera. Kundera's critiques to Aristotle show ontological-epistemological contrasts between them. In this regard, this article tries to answer this question: Why does Kundera -contrary to Aristotle- considers the plot as enemy of Novel?In Kundera'narrative world there wasn't Aristotelian concepts as unity,necessity,generality. On the contrary, Kundera discusses about world of multiplicity, unintelligible elements and coincidences; a world that Novels represent it.In this regard, Kundera is close to post-structuralism school. The Novel is a thinking way that it is in contrast with Aristotelian essentialism and causality. Contrary to philosophy, the Novel is narrator of irrational events. Kundera expressed her objection to plot, because It is outcome of rational perception about the world as causal texture. Kundera considers the elements that Aristotle cross them out :elements as minor event, off-topic and accidentalism. Kundera considers the plot as storyline hegemony and denial of polyphony in Fiction. This essay elaborates Kundera's post-structuralism perspective(Nietzsche perspectivism) resulted in narration change. For Kundera, Nietzsche as post-structuralism ancestor has always been the essential philosopher.
