Varieties in post-classical narratology

The book consists of a number of articles that investigate postclassical narratology and specifically the analysis of "unnatural" narratives - antimimetic texts that contradict or go beyond the realist understanding of identity, time and space, the communicative model of narrative, and the construction of scenarios that are impossible in reality. Much of this research is based on the study of postmodern anti-illusionist texts. However, in "unnatural narratology" there is no deconstruction of the scientific principles of the discipline; rather, a rational tool for analyzing experimental texts is created on the basis of postmodern and cognitive theories. Other articles are dedicated to fictionality as an essential characteristic of the statement, which does not speak of the real, but of the fictional state of things, and this is not hidden, but on the contrary, it is underlined. It is summoned to influence our understanding and evaluation of reality. Fiction is a form of representation of information, whose choice is determined by the communicative intentions of the author.
