AbstractThis paper is an attempt to open narrative semiotics to the question (overlooked so far for ideological reasons) of values expressed through action. I want to suggest that while action is defined by intention, the narrative, that is to say, the representation of the action is scarcely a unique discursive practice, based on the foregrounding of the agent's intention. Actually, there exist different types of narrative, including axiological narratives. The main argument of the paper consists of revealing the existence of axiological narratives in literary fiction, of describing certain narrative semiotics which has developed a strong conceptual apparatus fitting for the analysis of intentional narrative, but has not been able to grasp the axiological one, and of proposing a way towards an axiological narrative semiotics.

This paper aims to make psychoanalytic theories resonate with artistic expressions of pathological jealousy. From this perspective, numerous novels, short stories, theatrical plays, and films from ancient and contemporary periods are called upon to put fundamental Freudian and Lacanian concepts to the test. First, the author explores object jealousy, conveyed through the bisexual feelings of the Oedipus complex, female rivalry, and universal feelings of unfaithfulness. The latter is revealed by the emblematic figure of the paranoiac who is able to penetrate the unconscious of the other. The article then turns to pre-Oedipal specular aggressiveness, as originally expressed in the fraternal intrusion complex and pervaded by the fascinating and alienating desire of the Other. Jealousy is thus considered to be a mixed pathos amalgamating suffering and pleasure, a controversial emotion that is prone to increase boundlessly and reach the mythical jouissance of the Other. Finally, the article opposes the jealousy metabolized by analytic transference and the rivalry intrinsically exacerbated in the psyche of the artist.

This article relates the author's trip to Tulsa for a Bob Dylan conference, which led him to the Naipaul archives at the University of Tulsa, where he had a dazzling encounter with the ghostly figure of Patricia Hale. The latter becomes the starting point for a personal reflection on literary accompaniment and its vicissitudes when it comes to diminished narrative voices. Drawing on the photographs and journals of V.S. Naipaul's first wife, the author attempts to trace her voice in its absence and even its reticence, both in her husband's writing and even in her own, which took an autobiographical form. In doing so, the author continues to reflect on the notion of the dedicatee and the function of the Ideal in his relationship to care, topics already explored in his previous writings, and thus questions his own essayistic practice as well as the idea of ventriloquized speech.
