THE FRACTAL IDENTITY IN JEAN RHYS’ FICTION

Summary/Abstract: The Fractal Identity in Jean Rhys’ Fiction. This article proposes a rhetorical discourse on cross-cultural identity. Situated between Benítez-Rojo’s chaotic postmodern perspective and Edouard Glissant’s modern rhizomic one (according to which the subject remains in its integral dimensionality), the fractal imagery of identity or the notion of ‘cultural fractality’ or identitarian fractality begins to emerge from the fractal geometry of the hybrid self.
