Abstract

Continuous dialogues between readers and fiction works (art) create new and unstable understandings and perceptions of reality. Nevertheless, those cognitions are always determined by language/discourse, encoded by preexisting fixed meanings and our knowledge. This paper theorizes a possibility of fiction – which always reflects, reproduces and refers to provisional reality perceptions – to destabilize language/discourse and subsequently question and challenge the stability of reality sustained by it.
