Post-Scripta Manent
Post-Scripta Manent

Summary/Abstract: The postmodernist culture of recycling is accustomed to reusing texts and to adding sequels to them in an urge to explain and “close” texts up. The range of paratexts, especially of postscripts, is impressive and such discursive practices are employed not only by writers of fiction but also by critics, philosophers, and theoreticians. Any text may have a sequel. Even death is followed by a provision of funeral texts. Text and death are similar in that they are incomprehensible.
