translation studies. retrospective and prospective views

writing of a novel that does not reflect on its own role in constructing
reality more difficult.
The focus is on the reciprocal influence of literary theory and fiction,
taking the novel in the territory of narratology or, as Patricia Waugh says,
towards the exploration of “a theory of fiction through the writing of
fiction.” (Waugh, 1984: 2)
Finally, like Derrida, the theorist who claimed he did not know how
to tell stories in an article providing an example of deconstructivist reading,
many writers have spent much energy and paper writing stories to
demonstrate that words do not make sense.
But then, this is exactly what critifiction and fictional theory are for.
