Visual Techniques In Postmodern Literature. Towards An Interdisciplinary Approach Of Fictional Perspective
Author(s): Ion ManolescuSubject(s): Literary Texts
Published by: NEW EUROPE COLLEGE - Institute for Advanced Studies
Summary/Abstract: The present study focuses on two main theories of narrative and iconic perspective, as identified in the post-modern fiction of American and European writers. The first one is the deconstructive theory, showing reality as a self-referential, undecidable process, while image becomes its own mirror or a series of self-reflecting mirrors, deprived of any original source. The second one is the fractal theory, emphasizing the chaotic, yet ordered patterns of reality; here, image is perceived in its shattered, irregular textual and iconic design.
