This captivating book delves into the intricate interplay between fact and fiction in narratives of the twenty-first century, shedding light on a fascinating cultural shift. While current cultural theory acknowledges a move away from postmodernism towards new forms of expression, it reveals that postmodernist techniques are being repurposed to convey a renewed sense of sincerity, purposeful self-reflexivity, a contemporary feeling of togetherness, and an associated commitment to reality. In this exploration, the editors highlight how contemporary texts across various media engage with the boundary between fact and fiction, encompassing a wide range of mediums such as novels, autobiographies, autofictions, films, television shows, mockumentaries, digital fiction, advertising campaigns, and media hoaxes.
The chapters within this book delve into the realm of what lies beyond postmodernism, engaging in theoretical discussions and analyzing the narratological, stylistic, and semiotic devices upon which these texts rely. These chapters were originally published as a special issue of the esteemed European Journal of English Studies, further emphasizing the significance of this exploration.
By examining the ways in which contemporary narratives manipulate the line between fact and fiction, this book offers valuable insights into the evolving nature of storytelling and the diverse ways in which artists and creators are pushing the boundaries of artistic expression. It serves as a testament to the dynamic and ever-changing landscape of cultural discourse, providing readers with a rich and thought-provoking journey into the complex world of contemporary narrative.
