  1. Yeah,
  2. the first half of the 20th century was one of
  3. the most revolutionary age in the history of world literature.
  4. In this period, authors experimented with styles, techniques and worse
  5. to express not only they a reaction against 1/19 century tradition
  6. but also their desire to give voice to a
  7. new concept of human consciousness and of human life.
  8. The technical device that allowed authors to start this revolution was a new,
  9. apparently shocking technique, the so called the stream of consciousness.
  10. Uh,
  11. this technique was rendered by modernist
  12. writers using two different narrative techniques.
  13. Direct interior monologue or
  14. indirect integral monologue,
  15. which differ from each other because they use a different kind of of narrator.
  16. Direct interior monologue presents the thoughts of a character in a director.
  17. Uncontrolled and non philtre away.
  18. Thoughts are expressed using the first person point of view,
  19. and plantation is abolished because it represents a way
  20. to control the the and organised the character's thoughts.
  21. Uh, instead, uh, indirect indirect interior monologue monologue,
  22. on the contrary, shows the workings, uh,
  23. of the mind of a character using the third person, omniscient narrator
  24. who controls the characters flux of thoughts and uses
  25. grammar rules and temptation to organise technological way.
  26. In general,
  27. the phrase uh stream of consciousness refers
  28. to a highly barrier narrative technique used,
  29. uh, used by early 20 40th century authors to write their books.
  30. Its main aim was to render the free flux of thoughts of
  31. the characters on the page without an intervention of the author author.
  32. It was achieved through a series of devices such as the fragmentation,
  33. fragmentation of the character's perspective, the breaking of syntactic
  34. and grandma roots and overlapping of past and present events.
  35. Uh,
  36. let's see who is the most famous author
  37. with more interested in this in this technique.
  38. Jim Joyce was born on two February 18 82 in Dublin
  39. and once was child. His family's lost most of their prestige and wealth.
  40. His father was supported of the Movement for Independence Ireland.
  41. But when the leader of this movement died,
  42. Joy's father decided to retire from politics and social life.
  43. His event was for Joyce,
  44. the sign of the failure of his country and able
  45. to get three for from the domination of Britain.
  46. At first, Joyce wanted to become a priced in his life,
  47. so he attended to just just with just with schools.
  48. Then he went to study modern languages at University College in Dublin,
  49. where he changed his mind and decided to become a writer.
  50. The flow of consciousness was born with drink Joyce making use of them
  51. of eating.
  52. He's a great novel, Ulysses, Uh,
  53. where the writer develops the story in a day and
  54. according to the structure of the Odyssey A of a meadow
  55. so that Leopold and Molly Bloom match Uh, Julissa and Penelope, Uh,
  56. Stephen Dedalus, protagonist of the previous, uh,
  57. a portrait of the artist as a young man.
  58. Uh, the character of Telemaco OVC, uh, is a revolutionary book. As Joyce puts, uh,
  59. puts his hands to twist to his check his texts, uh, in death. And this takes the words,
  60. um, come on, opinion is the view that the Telos Babo is the Italian Joyce. And, uh,
  61. you know, is equal to the inner monologue of Joyce's Ulysses.
  62. In reality, they are very different analysis.
  63. We find precisely the flow of consciousness, and that is the free, um,
  64. and direct flow of thoughts contained in the head of the characters.
  65. There is no narrating voice that gives an order in
  66. his text and the contents of the mind flow free,
  67. as in a magmatic condition
  68. for the reader.
  69. Um, it will seem, uh, to read, uh, inside his character every every thought
  70. in locations and eat them.
  71. Instead, the protagonist tells his the story transcribes his past,
  72. introduced psychological analysis and comments through a monologue, uh,
  73. as if he were a narrator of a traditional novel.
  74. Um, all this is down through the writer of a memorial.
  75. Um, here we don't find a simple flow of three thoughts and therefore, um,
  76. disorder as why, as with Joyce,
  77. but the character narrator of vevo builds a speech
  78. with logic and attributing it a very precise order.
  79. Um,
  80. then we can say that the two intellectual intellectual who's,
  81. uh ideas most contributed to the development of
  82. the stream of consciousness technique are the signals,
  83. right?
  84. And Harry Byrd Bergson,
  85. right,
  86. theory of human psych explained in the
  87. seminal work The Interpret Interpretation of Dreams
  88. proposed that revolutionary idea that human consciousness is a multilayered, um,
  89. an anti tie and that most of it is announced.
  90. This mysterious part of the mind is called the anchor unconscious.
  91. Uh, it is the real of the irrational, uh,
  92. of the subjective end of primordial impulses and cannot be explained or described,
  93. um, irrational terms.
  94. Frights. Influence on your 20th century literature was immense.
  95. In fact,
  96. the stream of consciousness technique can be seen
  97. as a technical attempt made by a mother.
  98. Modern needs the writers to use words to describe the new concept of the modern self.
  99. Uh, as described by Freud,
  100. this is the stream of the stream of consciousness.
  101. Uh, technique technique was also used by Virginia Woolf, Uh,
  102. and by many of my many other authors,
  103. um uh of her times to describe this new or modern concept of of life.
  104. The result was a serious a series of novels and poems
  105. in which a subjective perspective is a fragmented points of view.
  106. Shifters in taxes abolished and, uh, thoughts flow freely as they do in, uh,
  107. the subject's mind.
  108. Uh, nowadays, time obviously have changed.
  109. The reader looks for, uh, immediacy and easy enjoyment.
  110. So over the years, the stream of consciousness has also changed.
  111. Um, it hadn't disappeared. It hasn't disappeared.
  112. Uh, it's just about, uh So, uh,
  113. it's just it's just a goal.
  114. Um, in 2020 the winner of the camp Yellow Price was Raymond Rapinoe,
  115. who in his novel be to Marty Miracle Lady Bonfiglio.
  116. Liborio, uh, used this technique, so use the flow of consciousness.
