| Sumario: | The aim of this paper is to measure the extent to which Jack Kerouac’s spontaneous prose poses methodological challenges for genetic criticism. To achieve this goal, I divided the argument in two parts. In the first one, I will discuss some of the anti-romantic premises of genetic criticism considering the context of the crisis of representation and the “death of the author,” commenting on quotes by Barthes and Derrida. After that, based on my experience as reader of his original manuscripts, I will briefly present Jack Kerouac’s works and writing methods in order to discuss how we may formally understand spontaneity as a field of investigation for genetic criticism. In conclusion, I draw attention to the importance of thinking about genetic methodologies that broaden the understanding of manuscript’s enunciability or performativity considering Saint Paul’s problem of faith as the “closeness between voice and heart”, as discussed by Giorgio Agamben. |
