Abstract
Ghostly characters, narrative blurriness, mise en abyme processes: these are a few of the most conspicuous features of the spectral phenomenon that structures Antoine Volodine’s work. The themes, linguistic devices and intersubjective relationships are characterized by a systematic discrepancy that relocates the meaning to a marginal, intermediate or indefinite space. In Volodine’s Des anges mineurs, an analysis of the main character’s voice - whose sentence to death is continually postponed - will show how these levels shape the processes of decentralization, dissipation and erosion which, negating the textual univocity, confer to the literary work an original expressiveness assuming the anthropological vulnerability of speech.
