Yeah,
00:02 - 00:06
the first half of the 20th century was one of
00:06 - 00:10
the most revolutionary age in the history of world literature.
00:10 - 00:16
In this period, authors experimented with styles, techniques and worse
00:16 - 00:22
to express not only they a reaction against 1/19 century tradition
00:22 - 00:26
but also their desire to give voice to a
00:26 - 00:29
new concept of human consciousness and of human life.
00:30 - 00:36
The technical device that allowed authors to start this revolution was a new,
00:36 - 00:41
apparently shocking technique, the so called the stream of consciousness.
00:41 - 00:42
Uh,
00:42 - 00:46
this technique was rendered by modernist
00:46 - 00:50
writers using two different narrative techniques.
00:50 - 00:53
Direct interior monologue or
00:54 - 00:56
indirect integral monologue,
00:56 - 01:02
which differ from each other because they use a different kind of of narrator.
01:03 - 01:09
Direct interior monologue presents the thoughts of a character in a director.
01:09 - 01:12
Uncontrolled and non philtre away.
01:12 - 01:20
Thoughts are expressed using the first person point of view,
01:20 - 01:24
and plantation is abolished because it represents a way
01:24 - 01:30
to control the the and organised the character's thoughts.
01:30 - 01:36
Uh, instead, uh, indirect indirect interior monologue monologue,
01:36 - 01:41
on the contrary, shows the workings, uh,
01:41 - 01:48
of the mind of a character using the third person, omniscient narrator
01:48 - 01:52
who controls the characters flux of thoughts and uses
01:52 - 01:56
grammar rules and temptation to organise technological way.
01:57 - 01:58
In general,
01:58 - 02:02
the phrase uh stream of consciousness refers
02:02 - 02:08
to a highly barrier narrative technique used,
02:08 - 02:16
uh, used by early 20 40th century authors to write their books.
02:16 - 02:21
Its main aim was to render the free flux of thoughts of
02:21 - 02:27
the characters on the page without an intervention of the author author.
02:27 - 02:31
It was achieved through a series of devices such as the fragmentation,
02:31 - 02:36
fragmentation of the character's perspective, the breaking of syntactic
02:36 - 02:42
and grandma roots and overlapping of past and present events.
02:42 - 02:43
Uh,
02:43 - 02:46
let's see who is the most famous author
02:46 - 02:51
with more interested in this in this technique.
02:51 - 02:58
Jim Joyce was born on two February 18 82 in Dublin
02:58 - 03:05
and once was child. His family's lost most of their prestige and wealth.
03:05 - 03:10
His father was supported of the Movement for Independence Ireland.
03:10 - 03:13
But when the leader of this movement died,
03:13 - 03:19
Joy's father decided to retire from politics and social life.
03:19 - 03:21
His event was for Joyce,
03:21 - 03:23
the sign of the failure of his country and able
03:23 - 03:27
to get three for from the domination of Britain.
03:27 - 03:32
At first, Joyce wanted to become a priced in his life,
03:32 - 03:37
so he attended to just just with just with schools.
03:37 - 03:41
Then he went to study modern languages at University College in Dublin,
03:41 - 03:46
where he changed his mind and decided to become a writer.
03:47 - 03:51
The flow of consciousness was born with drink Joyce making use of them
03:52 - 03:53
of eating.
03:53 - 03:55
He's a great novel, Ulysses, Uh,
03:55 - 03:59
where the writer develops the story in a day and
03:59 - 04:02
according to the structure of the Odyssey A of a meadow
04:02 - 04:10
so that Leopold and Molly Bloom match Uh, Julissa and Penelope, Uh,
04:10 - 04:15
Stephen Dedalus, protagonist of the previous, uh,
04:15 - 04:18
a portrait of the artist as a young man.
04:18 - 04:27
Uh, the character of Telemaco OVC, uh, is a revolutionary book. As Joyce puts, uh,
04:28 - 04:36
puts his hands to twist to his check his texts, uh, in death. And this takes the words,
04:37 - 04:46
um, come on, opinion is the view that the Telos Babo is the Italian Joyce. And, uh,
04:47 - 04:52
you know, is equal to the inner monologue of Joyce's Ulysses.
04:53 - 04:55
In reality, they are very different analysis.
04:55 - 05:03
We find precisely the flow of consciousness, and that is the free, um,
05:03 - 05:08
and direct flow of thoughts contained in the head of the characters.
05:09 - 05:13
There is no narrating voice that gives an order in
05:13 - 05:19
his text and the contents of the mind flow free,
05:19 - 05:24
as in a magmatic condition
05:25 - 05:26
for the reader.
05:26 - 05:34
Um, it will seem, uh, to read, uh, inside his character every every thought
05:35 - 05:36
in locations and eat them.
05:36 - 05:43
Instead, the protagonist tells his the story transcribes his past,
05:43 - 05:49
introduced psychological analysis and comments through a monologue, uh,
05:49 - 05:52
as if he were a narrator of a traditional novel.
05:53 - 05:58
Um, all this is down through the writer of a memorial.
05:58 - 06:05
Um, here we don't find a simple flow of three thoughts and therefore, um,
06:05 - 06:09
disorder as why, as with Joyce,
06:09 - 06:13
but the character narrator of vevo builds a speech
06:13 - 06:17
with logic and attributing it a very precise order.
06:17 - 06:19
Um,
06:20 - 06:25
then we can say that the two intellectual intellectual who's,
06:25 - 06:30
uh ideas most contributed to the development of
06:30 - 06:34
the stream of consciousness technique are the signals,
06:34 - 06:34
right?
06:34 - 06:37
And Harry Byrd Bergson,
06:38 - 06:39
right,
06:39 - 06:44
theory of human psych explained in the
06:44 - 06:49
seminal work The Interpret Interpretation of Dreams
06:50 - 06:56
proposed that revolutionary idea that human consciousness is a multilayered, um,
06:56 - 07:01
an anti tie and that most of it is announced.
07:01 - 07:09
This mysterious part of the mind is called the anchor unconscious.
07:09 - 07:13
Uh, it is the real of the irrational, uh,
07:13 - 07:21
of the subjective end of primordial impulses and cannot be explained or described,
07:21 - 07:23
um, irrational terms.
07:24 - 07:29
Frights. Influence on your 20th century literature was immense.
07:29 - 07:29
In fact,
07:29 - 07:32
the stream of consciousness technique can be seen
07:32 - 07:36
as a technical attempt made by a mother.
07:36 - 07:43
Modern needs the writers to use words to describe the new concept of the modern self.
07:43 - 07:45
Uh, as described by Freud,
07:45 - 07:49
this is the stream of the stream of consciousness.
07:49 - 07:53
Uh, technique technique was also used by Virginia Woolf, Uh,
07:53 - 07:56
and by many of my many other authors,
07:56 - 08:02
um uh of her times to describe this new or modern concept of of life.
08:03 - 08:06
The result was a serious a series of novels and poems
08:06 - 08:11
in which a subjective perspective is a fragmented points of view.
08:11 - 08:20
Shifters in taxes abolished and, uh, thoughts flow freely as they do in, uh,
08:20 - 08:21
the subject's mind.
08:22 - 08:26
Uh, nowadays, time obviously have changed.
08:26 - 08:32
The reader looks for, uh, immediacy and easy enjoyment.
08:32 - 08:37
So over the years, the stream of consciousness has also changed.
08:37 - 08:42
Um, it hadn't disappeared. It hasn't disappeared.
08:42 - 08:46
Uh, it's just about, uh So, uh,
08:47 - 08:49
it's just it's just a goal.
08:50 - 08:56
Um, in 2020 the winner of the camp Yellow Price was Raymond Rapinoe,
08:56 - 09:02
who in his novel be to Marty Miracle Lady Bonfiglio.
09:02 - 09:09
Liborio, uh, used this technique, so use the flow of consciousness.
