Such seems to be particularly true when the sense-making process of the implicit reader is touched and redirected by the uncovering of the misunderstanding. The surprise, challenge and scrutiny that follows offers an ethical potential to rethink one's own processes of reality- and truth-construction as well as one's bias and stereotypes. The article took examples from three contemporary novels - Ngugi wa Thiong'o's Wizard of the Crow, Amara Lakhous's Scontro di civilta per un ascensore a piazza Vittorio, and Patrick Chamoiseau's L'empreinte a Crusoé in order to investigate the ethical potential of literary misunderstandings that double the misunderstandings by affecting the characters in the fictional world and involving the readers in their individual acts of reading. The examples chosen allow to conclude that literary misunderstandings have indeed the potential to offer amazement and puzzling that lead to a strong offer for revision of the sense-making processes and established truths that guide the reading process as well as cognition in generalPrispevek razvija tezo, da so literarni nesporazumi kognitivni izziv našemu pojmovanju resnic in imajo lahko kot taki osupljive učinke. To se dogaja zlasti tedaj, ko se razkrivanje nesporazuma dotakne implicitnega bralca in preusmeri njegov postopek osmišljanja. Presenečenje, izziv in preverjanje, ki sledijo, nudijo etični potencial za premislek o lastnih postopkih konstruiranja realnosti in resnice ter o predsodkih in stereotipih. Članek obravnava primere iz treh sodobnih romanov; to so Ngugi wa Thiong'o: The Wizard of the Crow (2006), Amara Lakhous: Scontro di civilta per un ascensore a piazza Vittorio (2008) in Patrick Chamoiseau: L'empreinte a Crusoé (2013). Raziskuje etični potencial literarnih nesporazumov, ki podvajajo nesporazume tako, da najprej vplivajo na like v fiktivnem svetu in nato pa na bralce v njihovih individualnih bralnih dejanjih. Na temelju izbranih primerov lahko sklepamo, da lahko literarni nesporazumi res potencialno zbudijo zbeganost in osuplost, ki terjata revizijo uveljavljenih resnic in postopkov osmišljanja, ki vodijo tako bralne kakor tudi kognitivne procese nasplohTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaSlovensko društvo za primerjalno književnost
