dc.descriptionInspired by discussions on postmodern theory, the dissertation deals with irony and parody as methods reflective of the political and ideological dimensions of a literary work. Moreover, the dissertation problematizes postmodern representation and examines the manifestations of irony and parody in contemporary Canadian short fiction with the aim of uncovering the manner in which they may serve as a prism for critical examination of culture, as well as the extent to which the mentioned methods render this selection of fiction political. Dealing with the postmodern and contemporary short fiction, the dissertation explores the purpose and effectiveness of postmodern methods – irony and parody – in Canadian short stories published between 1999 and 2016. The interpretations of these short stories uncover the persistence of a ‘double-edged’ or ‘double-voiced’ sensibility achieved by the use of postmodern irony representing the authentic expression of contemporary authors, even when the postmodern philosophical basis and the short story form, in terms of the genre conventions, do not allow for further elaboration. Moreover, the sensibility of the contemporary Canadian short story reflects the postmodern philosophical refusal to situate its vision in a critical or ethical center in its emphasis on the interrogative process. The manner in which postmodern techniques are used reveals the awareness of the constructed nature of the discourse shaped by the inheritance of tradition which the storytelling process explores. In those terms, the discourse of these contemporary authors is a product of the exploration of the cultural and the socio-political affinities and distinctions of the contemporary society. Therefore, it represents both a manifestation of the postmodern difference, from the cultural and political perspectives of the storyteller, and the acute awareness of narrative as an instrument of interpellation addressed at the reader. Contemporary authors recognize both the act of storytelling and its product – the narrative discourse, as continuous with the discourses of the past, but also as the product of the present moment, which underscores the very dialogical relation between the two – the past and the present – in a decentered exploration.en
