In both works the figure of the poet is constructed through the eyes of the other as well as through the prism of mythological narration. In Lei dunque capira, the image of the poet is shaped by Eurydice's voice, which filters the Orpheus myth, actualising and perhaps banalizing it. The novel, on the other hand, uses the Argonauts myth, intertwined with the Odysseus and Orpheus myths, to reflect on the nature of the narrating voice. The novel questions whether autobiographical narration can at all be reliable or whether it is to be considered - along with mythological narration - as nothing more than "réclame", representing a deformed view of personal, historical and mythological memory. Magris questions the existence of a stable narrative voice in contemporary fiction, since it appears fragmented and unsure about its own identity. Both works include myth as the central element facilitating reflection on fundamental metaliterary issues. "Looking at the Myth" thus becomes "looking through the myth", as well as, in Eurydice's narration, looking at a reflection: "I haven't seen myself, I do not know myself. But if you tell me about this, I shall know it and will be able to narrate it."Prispevek obravnava lik pesnika, izoblikovan prek pogleda drugega in hkrati prek prizme mitološke pripovedi, v dveh delih Claudia Magrisa: kratkem proznem delu Saj razumete (Lei dunque capira) in romanu Na slepo (Alla cieca). V prvem besedilu podobo pesnika izoblikuje Evridikin glas. Besedilo prek Evridikinega pogleda zre na mit o Orfeju, ga aktualizira in morda tudi banalizira. Roman Na slepo prek mita o Argonavtih, prepletenega z Odisejevim in Orfejevim mitom, razmišlja o tem, komu pripada pripovedni glas, ali je avtobiografska pripoved sploh lahko verodostojna ali pa je - hkrati z mitološko pripovedjo - nemara le "réclame" in torej predstavlja izkrivljen pogled na osebni, zgodovinski in mitološki spomin. Magris se hkrati sprašuje, ali v sodobni književnosti še obstaja trden pripovedni glas ali pa je ta razdrobljen in negotov glede lastne identitete. V obeh delih je mit torej osrednji element, ki omogoči vpogled v nekatera pomembna metaliterarna vprašanja. "Mit in pogled" tako postane "pogled skozi mit" in hkrati zrcaljenje pogleda: "Nisem se videl, ne poznam se. Če pa mi vi to poveste, vem in lahko pripovedujem."TEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaZnanstvena založba Filozofske fakultete
