Thesis (Ph.D.)--McGill University (Canada), 2010.

This dissertation explores Nietzsche's ethics of reading. I argue that narrative strategies such as metaphors, irony, and parody, amongst others, must be interpreted against the backdrop of Nietzsche's utterances on reading and statements addressed to the reader. These strategies are interpreted as pedagogical tools which serve the education of an emancipated reader - a reader aware of the responsibility to emancipate himself from (meta)narratives. Nietzsche's ethics of reading consists in principles deriving from his preoccupation with agonistics: suspicion, contest, and performance. The reader must be aware of the constructed nature of texts and suspicious of textual assertions; the act of reading also consists in the reader's response to textual assertions and challenges. This dissertation thus contributes to Nietzsche scholarship by investigating the significance of agonistics for Nietzsche's ethics of reading, by linking this ethics of reading to his call for a revaluation of values, and by showing that both partake in the same narrative of emancipation.

520 $a Nietzsche's ethics of reading is interpreted here as his response to the ethics of reading which arose out of the Platonic, Christian, and Kantian traditions. In order to show this, I use the chapter "Der Genesende," from Also sprach Zarathustra as case study. I show that "Der Genesende" is Nietzsche's counternarrative to fall narratives found in Plato ( Phaedrus; the parable of the cave), Christianity (Genesis 3), and Kant (Mutmasslicher Anfang der Menschengeschichte). Nietzsche undermines the teleological and dualistic worldviews of these narratives as well as their use of dialectics, prohibitions, and imperatives, to show that these narratives restrict the freedom of movement (of thought) of the individual and reader. In contrast, Nietzsche's style in Also sprach Zarathustra (the entwinement of Zarathustra's teachings, for example, which underpin and undermine one another) is interpreted as his way to promote movement in the reader's mind.
520 $a The study ends with readings of Nietzsche's early writings on education, language, and agonistics. These preoccupations coalesce in Ecce Homo, a text which, because of its confusion of genres, provocative questions and statements, and agonistic style reveals itself to be not so much about Nietzsche's own identity construction but about the reader's.
