- Stephen Dixon's Novels: Autobiographicality as Transgression Yuliia Honcharova Victoriia Lipina Multidisciplinarias (Ciencias, Ciencias Sociales, Artes y Humanidades) bio auto texts graphicality Postmodernism The idea advanced in the paper is to theorize the mechanisms of autobiographicality in Stephen Dixon’s novels that are viewed as a radical renewal of autobiographical narrative, where the modality of disappearance/return of the subject produces a new mode of life-writing. We propose the term “autobiographical transgression” to capture the essence of this renewal started by three representative figures – John Barth, Stephen Dixon, and Joseph Heller that can be reduced neither to autobiography as a genre, nor to “transgressive autobiography” as its generic variant. Dixon finds a new form for representing autos. He creates the character with the name-deixis I. that personifies a fiduciary subject, thus, suggesting a provocative restatement of postmodernist generic problems. In the novels I. and End of I. the autobiographical hero I. exists simultaneously as a metaphor of the author’s presence in the text, as the subjective author’s I and as a character in the novel − an objectified, semi-functional, distancing I. The transplanting of life experience manifests itself in a special kind of repersonalization and double coding of the traditional autobiographical subject. 2021 artículo científico 2335-2388 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=694473930007 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6944/694473930007/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6944/694473930007/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6944/694473930007/694473930007.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6944/694473930007/movil https://doi.org/0.15388/RESPECTUS.2020.39.44.79 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=6944 Respectus Philologicus application/pdf Vilniaus Universitetas Respectus Philologicus (Lituania) Num.44 Vol.39
