Description

The idea for this paper arose out of reading, in close succession, the three volumes of Janet Frame's autobiography, (1) Barbara Johnson's article, 'The Frame of Reference' (which discusses Derrida's reading of Lacan's reading of Poe's 'The Purloined Letter') (2) and Framer Framed, the latest book by theorist and film-maker Trinh Minh-Ha (3) and, as the paper's title suggests, it plays heavily on the plural possibilities of the word and the name 'frame'. Most of these possibilities are self-evident. The obvious Frame in this instance is Janet Frame, the writer; then there are the various 'dictionary' frames which can be briefly summarised as structural, conceptual, pictorial, criminal and critical; and then finally there is the Derridean Frame or parergon. Of this frame, Derrida says: It is by attending to the paradoxical logic of this Derridean frame that this paper will attempt to 'frame' the Frame(s) of Janet Frame's autobiographies.
