This book explores the complex interrelationship between fact and
fiction in narratives of the twenty-first century. Current cultural
theory observes a cultural shift away from postmodernism to new
forms of expression. Rather than a radical break from the
postmodern, however, postmodernist techniques are repurposed to
express a new sincerity, a purposeful self-reflexivity, a
contemporary sense of togetherness and an associated commitment to
reality. In what the editors consider to be one manifestation of
this general tendency, this book explores the ways in which
contemporary texts across different media play with the boundary
between fact and fiction. This includes the examination of novels,
autobiography, autofiction, film, television, mockumentary, digital
fiction, advertising campaigns and media hoaxes. The chapters
engage with theories of what comes after postmodernism and analyse
the narratological, stylistic and/or semiotic devices on which such
texts rely. The chapters in this book were originally published as
a special issue of the European Journal of English Studies.
