Narratological interest

After my Ph.D., I have worked as an independent scholar on narrative time analysis, by examining the interface between fictional intertestual time, factual story time and the in-between space of the narrative discourse that often intentionally evokes reality within fiction. This led me to re-examine the “Death of the author” with the valid help of some unexploited key-terms from the Ancient Greek Oratory. These first conclusions need to be confirmed by other narrative experiences that recognise a valid bridge between life and fiction: postcolonial narratology, psychoanalytic narrative ecc.
