Narrator Reliability in the Creative Autobiography: An Approach for the Solo Interpreter

This study develops an approach to narrator reliability in the creative autobiography for the solo interpreter. The relationships between narrator reliability and firstperson point of view are given, and the need for an understanding of reliability to develop a performance stance is also stated. The defining characteristics of the creative autobiography are also included. The analytical approach to narrator reliability is three-fold. The reliability of the narrator is examined in terms of mental locus, spatial locus, and temporal locus. The mental locus of the narrator is determined through his relationships with himself, the characters, the action, and the reader. The narrator\u27s spatial locus is examined according to his use of general and specific locations and the importance placed on given locations in the text. Temporal locus is studied in terms of time order, the relationship between the experiencing and the narrating self, and the relationship between time-past and time-present. Illustrations for the three-fold approach are provided by examples from two creative autobiographies: Stop-time by Frank Conroy and A Fan\u27s Notes by Frederick Exley. In chapter three, the locus triad is applied to A Fan\u27s Notes, providing an in-depth analysis of narrator reliability for that text. In conclusion, the problems of narrator reliability particular to the creative autobiography are cited, and possible applications of the approach to other first-person narratives are given. This study is not exhaustive, and the need for further research in this area is apparent

Strange eigenstates and anomalous transport in a Koch fractal with hierarchical interaction

Stationary states of non-interacting electrons on a Koch fractal are investigated within a tight binding approach. It is observed that if a hierarchically long range hopping is allowed, a suitable correlation between the parameters defining the Hamiltonian leads to spectacular changes in the transport properties of finite, but arbitrarily large fractals. Topologically identical structures, that are found to support the same distribution of the amplitudes of eigenstates, are conducting in some cases and insulating in the others, depending on the choice of the hierarchy parameter. The values of the hierarchical parameter themselves display a self-similar, fractal character.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figure
