“Seduction by writing”: passage about calligraphy from the Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s novel “The Idiot” in the theoretical frame of grammatology

Journal Title: UNKNOWN - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue

Abstract

The article explores the objectification of the sociocultural representations of the individual in the singular graphic units of writing on the material from the passage from F. Dostoevsky’s novel “The Idiot”, pronounced in the title of the article. The author of the article reflects various aspects of the process taking the fictional nature of the object under study into consideration. The reasoning about the Myshkin’s monologue outlined the theoretical principles of grammatology which allowed to address the problem of the writing conceptualization in this area of linguistic and philosophical-linguistic theorising. The analysis confirmed that the written language has its own, independent from oral speech and natural language conventions, meaning-generation resource, i.e. graphics, outline. The possibility of “translating” (as converting) mental representations into graphic imagery indicates the phonetic writing of semasiographic potencies realised by the interpretations (the nature of these interpretations is also interpreted by the author) of the graphic form of a specific material (ontic) sign.
