SANCHEZ-AVILA, Nini Johanna. Duplicity in the Postmodern Fantastic Narrative. La Palabra [online]. 2018, n.33, pp.61-80.  Epub July 26, 2019. ISSN 0121-8530.  https://doi.org/10.19053/01218530.n33.2018.8817.

The double is one of the predominant structures in fantastic orientation narratives. Not only is it related to theories of the fantastic in its conceptual articulation; it also inherits the same problems of context and dissemination of categories. This article approaches the double as part of a study on fantastic literature in the context of postmodern narratives. For this, the following axes will be considered: multiple conceptions of the fantastic given since the mid-twentieth century; the transition from modern to postmodern representation; the coincidence between postmodern narrative and representation of the double; the convergence of duplicities; the social double; the double and gender relations, the inefficiency of binary representation, and the deformation of literary doubles in parody and ontological instability.

Keywords : duplicity; multiplicity; disintegration of the being; extreme dialogism; fragmentation.
