Personification of theory: intertextual games in Small World
Abstract
The paper tries to deal with a relationship between theory and fiction. Reading David Lodge
academic novel Small World, where the conflict between structuralism and deconstruction is the
plot's main theme, the author asks what happens when theory becomes a subject of a novel.
Being a part of fictional discourse, turns out quite tricky for the theoretical discourse, as it could
come dangerously close to irony, parody or pastishe. In-depth analysis of complicated narration
levels and author's strategy in Lodge's novel is supposed to draw the reader from simple conclusions,
in which literature poses an example for theory, or theory for literature. It allows to see the
relation between both of these subjects as dynamic and full of contradictions, pointing at, and
indicating each other's limitations.
