PINA, Cristina. The Influence of Postmodernism in Contemporary Narrative. Cuad. CILHA [online]. 2013, vol.14, n.2, pp.16-37. ISSN 1852-9615.

This article inquires into the transgressive, deconstructive, and fertile relationship between a relevant part of Postmodern narrative and Modern literary genres. Paying special attention to the genre hybridization practiced by this type of narrative-whose main ancestor is Jorge Luis Borges-it analyses the peculiar rewriting of popular and major genres performed by it, which is a simultaneous tribute and per-version of them. It also examines the way in which heterogeneous discourses are interwoven. Then, it specifically inquires into a genre which has acquired especial relevance during the last 20 years in Latin America: microfiction, confronting it with Nineteenth century prose poem and with the Barthesian concept of "text". Finally, it also inquires into autofiction, as a peculiar type of "self writing" (écriture du moi), which reached increasing importance during Postmodernism.

Palabras clave : Postmodernism; Genre hybridization; Microfiction; Autofiction; Text.
