Abstract:

This study aims to spotlight the postmodern tendency of metafiction in Ian Watson’s novel “Chekhov's Journey”.

Ian Watson is a noteworthy science-fiction writer, and his famous novelsare ‘The Embedding’ (1973) and ‘The Jonah Kit’ (1975), which brought him prestigious awards, while in this study we will focus on his metafictional work ‘Chekhov’s Journey’.

Abstract:

The author of this paper reflects on the novel The Golden Notebook by Doris Lessing, describing it as a complex postmodern novel in which Lessing experiments with the form of the novel through techniques of metafiction, intertextuality and hybridity. In this paper, the author focuses especially on the metafiction technique, viewed as the most dominant post-modern technique in the novel, highlighting exclusively fragmentation in the service of metafiction. Thus, the intention is to show that in addition to metafictional techniques, fragmentation can also serve the author in his presentation of

Drawing from theoretical frameworks elaborated mainly by Iser (1972, 1978, 1989, 2006) – regarding the theory of aesthetic response – and by Hutcheon (1980, 2000) and Waugh (1984) – regarding metafiction – we understand parody and mise en abyme as two metafictional procedures that constitute the structure of the implied reader.

Metafiction is the term applied to a certain type of fiction, or tendency in literature, which started with French literary experimentalism in the 1950s and reached its peak in the 1970s. Metafiction is used to describe fiction that critically examines the relationship between reality and fiction, highlights its own formal elements, and calls attention to its own status as a work of art. Raymond Federman chooses to call this very unusual style “surfiction,” and in his novel, To Whom It May Concern: A Novel, he blurs the lines between reality and fiction himself.

Abstract This article has a dual focus. It demonstrates the recent repoliticization of Linda Hutcheon’s category of historiographic metafiction through the extension of Marianne Hirsch’s concept of postmemory to lesbian novelists, arguing that this theoretical framework offers a lens through which we can understand some recent trends in lesbian historical fiction. Focusing on the novelist and critic Emma Donoghue’s 2008 novel The Sealed Letter, it also argues that this text’s evocation of an imagined lesbian past, and its use of metafictional techniques, are illuminated by reading it as a high

Abstract:

Metafiction emphasises a text’s fictionality by drawing the reader’s attention to how texts create meaning through numerous textual devices. This paper examines translations of the postmodern picturebook The Incredible Book Eating Boy (2006) by Oliver Jeffers. It compares the original English text to its Japanese, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese translations across verbal translation, visual and verbal-visual interactions, specifically focusing on metafictive devices. Using Gideon Toury’s model for descriptive translation analysis indicates that socio-cultural contexts influence pr

Abstract:

This paper investigates the use of metafictional techniques in Alex Michaelides’ The Silent Patient, with a focus on how these strategies subvert traditional thriller conventions. Drawing on Patricia Waugh’s concept of metafiction—particularly self-reflexivity and unreliable narration—the study conducts a close textual analysis to uncover how narrative form challenges reader expectations and genre boundaries. Findings reveal that Michaelides employs narrative ambiguity and layered storytelling to destabilize conventional notions of truth, identity, and authorship. By foregrounding its own cons

Abstract:

The ambiguity between reality and fiction haunts Einar Már Guðmundsson’s novel Hundadagar (Dog Days, 2015), as it is a fictional narrative about factual, historical figures and events, such as Jörgen Jörgensen, Rev. Jón Steingrímsson, Finnur Magnússon and Guðrún Johnsen, while the same can be said about many other novels labeled as postmodernism. Canadian literary scholar Linda Hutcheon coined the concept of historiographic metafiction to describe fictions as such, which are “intensely self-reflexive”, while “paradoxically lay claim to historical events and personages”. Hutcheon suggests that

Abstract:

Modern novels opposed power structures by struggling for personal autonomy, leading to alienation of the individual from society. However, this kind of alienation was insufficient to oppose power structures in postmodernism. It was recognized that power structures sustain on naturalization of language as tool of oppression, and postmodern texts therefore became selfconscious of the act of writing and reading. They began to question their own mediums of expression, and the relationship between fiction and reality. Metafictional writing made this turn inward possible, allowing the resistance to

Abstract:

This paper discusses the representation of historiographic metafiction in the postmodern Arabic and Latin novel. Linda Hutcheon coined the term of Historiographic metafiction. She claims that the postmodern novel contains selfreflexivity, intertextuality, parody. Although some critics see that the postmodern novel is western, Edward Saeed argues that art is “worldly”; therefore, Hutcheon sees that the postmodern novel may be “worldly”. The researcher relies on Saeed and Hutcheon to argue that the representation of historiographic metafiction may be found in Mawt Saġīr and Sāʿī Barīd Nayrūdā.

Abstract:

Ian McEwan’s Sweet Tooth presents a character-author, Tom Haley, who having experienced the betrayal of both his government (by the hands of an MI5 organisation) and his new-found lover, Serena Frome, decides to work through his trauma through the creation of a revenge narrative. To create such a narrative, Haley conveniently makes use of the metafictional artifice. To cover all such concepts, this article focuses on studies on authorship, trauma and metafiction to be able to exert an exploration of Haley’s process of creation, his reasoning in the creation of his narrative, and an analysis of

Kurt Vonnegut’s position that artists should be treasured as alarm systems and as biological agents of change comes most pertinent in his two great novels. The selected English novels of the past century – Cat’s Cradle (1963), Slaughterhouse Five (1969), and Breakfast of Champions (1973) – connect the world of fiction to the harsh realities of the world via creative metafictional strategies, making literature an alarm coated with the comforting lies ofstorytelling. It is metafi ction that enables Vonnegut to create different understandings of historical events by writing a kind of literature t

Abstract:

Kurt Vonnegut is admitted as a great master of postmodern writer. Vonnegut’s success is mainly attributed to his unique narrative approaches, various expressive methods and dramatic artistic effects. The application of metafiction is particularly obvious and significant in his novels. Slaughterhouse-Five is one of typical examples of the successful adoption of metafiction. The metafiction of Vonnegut’s style, applied in Slaughterhouse-Five, shows itself in three distinctive approaches—non-linear narrative, collage and parody. Based on postmodern narrative theory, the application of these three

Metafiction is a self-reflective narrative form that examines and critiques its own themes and structure, serving as a mirror that reflects both its creator and its audience. Within this context, metafiction in digital games breaks through the artifice of narrative to address the players directly as the facilitators of the story and collaborators whose play patterns, personal experiences, expectations, and habits shape game narratives.
