Gérard Genette Série

Genette's work was instrumental in bringing rhetorical terminology back into literary criticism, reviving terms such as trope and metonymy. His seminal contributions to narrative theory, particularly through "Narrative Discourse: An Essay in Method," have profoundly impacted the field. His multi-part "Figures" series, including "Narrative Discourse," and his influential trilogy on textual transcendence, have shaped critical approaches to literature. While not as widely studied as some contemporaries, Genette's concepts, like 'paratext' and 'hypotext,' have become foundational in understanding literary works.
