Presentation Transcript

  1. Hutcheon on the Postmodern: • “makes overt the processes of narrative representation—of the real or the fictive and of their interrelations” (PP 36) • uses parody: “By both using and ironically abusing general conventions and specific forms of representation, postmodern art works to de-naturalize them” (PP 8) and expose “their undeniable political import” (PP 2)

  2. Postmodern & Satiric Texts • Both offer a form of cultural (and political) criticism that serve consistently to de-naturalize and de-familiarize existing power structures and systems of belief. • Both are generic hybrids; they mix genres. • Both tend to emphasize the constructedness of human character

  3. Unreliable Narrator A narrator whose account of events appears to be faulty, misleadingly biased, or otherwise distorted, so that it departs from the ‘true’ understanding of events shared between the reader and the implied author. The discrepancy between the unreliable narrator’s view of events and the view that readers suspect to be more accurate creates a sense of irony. (ODLT)
