Unnatural Narratives

Abstract

A critique is developed for unnatural narratives, which respond to a new narratological schema understood in anti-mimetic terms. The main characteristics of these narratives are described in relation to concepts such as reader, time or narration, regarding the development of experimental literatures and within the context of a politics of the impossible that aims to set up (post) postmoden alternate ontologies through the representation of possible worlds that evade social reality and whose sociological role is social control. In addition, the internal contradictions of these unnatural narratives are emphasized.
