Beyond Aporia: Northrop Frye and “The Imaginative Limit of Desire”

Abstract:Directionality is introduced as a term to express Northrop Frye’s concept of the movement in literary structure away from, or towards, fulfilled desires. His work does not suppose an absolute knowledge based on an external and fixed center, but rather discovers an archetypal structure emerging from common physical needs. Frye’s distinction between primary and secondary concerns, a line not absolutely fixed, enables a deconstruction of cultural constructs, but unlike a thoroughgoing Derridean-style deconstruction, which renders all political action arbitrary, it allows social criticism. Frye’s discussion of justice in Words with Power provides a counterpoint to Derrida’s “Force of Law.”
