AUTOFICŢIUNEA ÎN ROMANUL AMERICAN POSTMODERN. UN EXEMPLU: JOHN BARTH
SELF-FICTIONALIZATION IN THE AMERICAN POSTMODERN NOVEL. AN EXAMPLE: JOHN BARTH.

Summary/Abstract: This paper is based on a previous paper, that defined the concept of self-fictionalization (French: l'autofiction), saw how it was understood by different theorists (Serge Doubrovsky, Vincent Colonna, Gerard Genette, Jean delay, Dominique Fernandez, Philippe Lejeune) and explored its potential in the field of literature and literary study. The present paper aims to take this concept beyond the boundaries of its domain of origin, psychoanlysis, with a view to applying it to the analysis of postmodern literature. An example of how it can be put to practical use will be provided, namely the American postmodern author, Jean Barth.
