View source for Metalepsis in Popular Culture

'Narrative studies have considered metalepsis so far largely as a phenomenon of postmodern or avant-garde literature. ''Metalepsis in Popular Culture'' investigates metalepsis’ ties to the popular and traces its transmedial importance through a wealth of examples from the turn of the 20th century to this day. The articles also address larger issues such as readerly immersion, the appeal of complexity in popular culture, or the negotiation of fiction and reality in media, and invite readers to rethink these issues through the prism of metalepsis.'
