diegeettisista
Diegeettisista is a term that combines "diegesis," which refers to the narrative world created by a story, and "ethos," which pertains to the character's moral or emotional stance. The concept of diegeettisista was introduced by the literary theorist Gerald Prince in his 1982 book "The Diegetic Universe." It describes the ethical or moral perspective that a character within a narrative adopts. This perspective can influence the reader's understanding of the story and the characters' actions. For instance, in a story where a protagonist is a thief, the diegeettisista perspective might justify the protagonist's actions as necessary for survival or to achieve a greater good. This concept is particularly useful in analyzing complex narratives where characters' motivations and actions are not always clear-cut. Diegeettisista can also be applied to non-fiction works, where the author's perspective can shape the reader's interpretation of the subject matter. Understanding diegeettisista can provide deeper insights into how narratives construct reality and moral frameworks within their worlds.
