Project

The passage from modernism to postmodernism brought about a change in aesthetic and philosophic concerns: instead of questions about how to know the answer of an enigma, the very existence of the enigma is questioned. As detective fiction focuses mainly on who committed a crime, it is expected that in postmodernism essential changes will take place in narrative. Such possible changes – or their absence – are the object of this research.
