Dream as a narrative strategy : On Kundera's fictional poetics

Publication at Faculty of Humanities |
2012

Abstract

The literaty motif of a dream belongs to the central motives of Kundera's poetics. In this study, a typology of dream presages was built in the field of a textological analysis.

It was also discussed a dream in relation to illusoriness and to some variant of profaned fate. The motif of a dream can blur the realistic contours of narration; Kundera employs it to open a fundamental reflection on the character of fiction, on its bounds and on constant uncertain inception of the literary illusion.
