Thesis (Ph.D.)--The University of Wisconsin - Madison, 1997.

The present study places Spanish post-Franco narrative within the context of theoretical debate on PostModernism. The introductory chapter presents a general survey of terms, followed by a critical discussion of several popular definitions of PostModernism. I use Brian McHale's theoretical model which describes PostModernist fiction as a mode of writing in which ontological concerns are foregrounded. In subsequent chapters, I expand the scope of McHale's classification and adapt it to the specific demands of contemporary Spanish fiction.

520 $a The present study places Spanish post-Franco narrative within the context of theoretical debate on PostModernism. The introductory chapter presents a general survey of terms, followed by a critical discussion of several popular definitions of PostModernism. I use Brian McHale's theoretical model which describes PostModernist fiction as a mode of writing in which ontological concerns are foregrounded. In subsequent chapters, I expand the scope of McHale's classification and adapt it to the specific demands of contemporary Spanish fiction.
520 $a Each of the three following chapters focuses on one particular concept (indeterminacy, re-writing, and literary character, respectively) which underlies textual strategies discussed at length through a close reading of contemporary Spanish narrative. I demonstrate how different uses of such strategies shift the focus of contemporary works of fiction away from the epistemological, and towards the ontological dominant.
520 $a Chapter two explores indeterminacy as a controversial term at heart of several debates in literary theory. Chapter three focuses on the PostModernist practice of re-writing older, existing texts, and addresses the relationship between original texts, and their PostModernist versions. In response to those theorists linking postmodernist re-writing with pastiche and parody, the chapter introduces the concept of hron, borrowed from a short story by Borges, and proposes its adoption for theoretical use. Although the ontology-epistemology dynamic remains at the center of this chapter, the analysis also addresses ethical issues related to literary "borrowing" of older texts.
520 $a The fourth, final chapter, focuses on literary character. This chapter examines the change which PostModernist fiction imposes on the existing theorizations of this concept. Through analyses of examples from Spanish narrative, PostModernist character is shown as a process, rather than a traditional, psychological entity modeled after "real people" existing outside of the literary text. It is also argued that the theoretical construction of a literary character which emphasizes becoming over being originates in the authors' fascination with Otherness, an attitude which replaces the fear of the Other, dominant in earlier works of fiction.
