When narration interrupts. Poetics of metalepsis

Straipsnyje pristatoma metalepsės teorija retorikos ir naratologijos perspektyvoje. Daugiausia dėmesio skiriama naujausiai metalepsės problematikai naratologijoje. Remiamasi Gerard'o Genette'o, Geraldo Prince'o, Monikos Fludernik, Dorrit Cohn, Marie-Laure Ryan, Johno Piero, Jean-Marie Scha-efferio, Sophie Rabau ir kitų pasakojimo teoretikų požiūriu. Svarstomos metalepsės funkcijų ir klasifikavimo galimybės šiuolaikinėje naratologijoje. Metalepsė iš esmės apibūdinama kaip pasakojimo lygmenų pažeidimas. Pastebima, kad ji ilgai yra buvusi ta sąvoka, kuri reiškė keistą pasakojimo posūkį arba pertrūkį, beveik prasilenkiantį su universaliais pasakojimo dėsniais. Vis dėlto šiandien ši sąvoka nebežymi naratologijos ribų, ji atsiduria pačiame atsinaujinančios šiuolaikinės naratologijos tyrinėjimų sūkuryjeThe article presents the theory of metalepsis from the perspective of rhetoric and narratology. Most attention is paid to the most recent topic of metalepsis in narratology. It is based on the attitude of Gerard Genette, Gerald Prince, Monika Fludernik, Dorrit Cohn, Marie-Laure Ryan, John Pier, Jean-Marie Schaeffer, Sophie Rabau and other theoreticians. The possibilities of its functions and classification in contemporary narratology are discussed. In November 2002, in Paris, an international conference of narratologists "Metalepsis Today" took place. After a couple of years, selected articles of participants of the conference Metalepses: Extortions of the Covenant of Representation (2005) was published. Gerard Genette, the man who established the very concept of metalepsis in narratology, restarted studying it in his book Metalepsis (2004) after a break of a couple of decades. In general, metalepsis is described as an infringement of narrative levels. It is noted that, for a long time, this very concept was the concept that meant a strange turn in narration or an interruption thereof, which almost passed universal laws of narration. Nevertheless, today this concept does not mark the limits of narratology any more; it is found in the very whirl of studies of the shifting contemporary narratology. The article notes that the renaissance of narratology shall be nowadays related to increased attention to the topic of metalepsisVytauto Didžiojo universitetasŠvietimo akademij
