| Description | The self reflexivity of a literary text has become a key notion for the literary criticism of the second part of the 20th century. In addition it seems to characterise texts which constitute the modernity of the novelistic literature whose origins can be traced up to Cervantes, Diderot or Sterne. The long tradition of the self reflexivity of the anti-novel seems to have affected the novelistic literature which arises as a post-modern response to the writing of the modernist predecessors. Jean Echenoz is one of the authors who make a link with the tradition of the textual self reflexivity, though his attitude towards this writing is highly specific. In his work a reaction to the self reflexive or metatextual processes can be discovered. The study in question seeks to reveal, at least in part, the mechanism of this self reflexive machine. |
