Summary/Abstract: The existential discourse and its representation in fictional narration are envisaged in their two aspects – as protodiscourse and discourse of the epoch. Its basic structure of the “existeme” is shown through the positioning of the “self” in its narrative journey, the correlation of identity dominants vs experiential and discursive modes of manifestation/(re)presentation of “self” and the world. While promoting the principles of narrativization of human life of the envisaged epoch, The Manuscript found in Saragossa by Jan Potocki maximally condenses and accumulates them and thus demonstrates the discursivity as a mode of existence.
