Abstract

<p>As anything written is called écriture after the “linguistic turn” in postmodernism, “écriture of modern fiction” in the title of this paper seems to be tautological. In the same way it seems to be ridiculous to talk about “reader-subjects” after Roland Barthes' declaration of the “death of the author.” But now I think it necessary to go beyond such a postmodern way of thinking. To do so we have to reintroduce the concept of subject in relation to others into literary studies so that the reader as a subject can rewrite both the text and his or her self in a dialectical fashion. Comparing Hiroshi Andō's concept of “expressive mechanism” with Minoru Tanaka's theory of the “third term” in relation to Barthes's well-known definition of écriture, here I will suggest a new possibility of studies on modern fiction.</p>
