Abstract

La Naufragée by Marie NDiaye offers a reimagining of the siren myth. This act of displacement from the original myth is marked by a writing style of desacralization and enchantment- a writing of drift, surrendering to the flow of unstable motifs emerging from the preconscious. Using condensation as its mode of operation, this fantastical tale explores the forms of inspiration generated by fantasy, while also renewing the interpretive possibilities of a dual question central to psychoanalysis: What is the fate of the feminine when confronted with castration? And is the desire to see inherently destructive?
