	Metalepsis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Metalepsis is a figure of speech in which one thing is referenced by something else which is only remotely associated with it.
		Often the association works through a different figure of speech, or through a chain of cause-and-effect.
		Oftentimes metalepsis refers to the combination of several figures of speech into an altogether new one.

		Metalepsis, a rhetorical and narrative figure described as early as the 17th century by French rhetoricians, has become one of the favorite concepts of postmodern culture and contemporary critical discourse.
		Metalepsis is an interpenetration of levels that challenges the hierarchical organization and the rigid order of processing of the stack.
		In most of its manifestations metalepsis challenges the boundaries of fictional worlds located on the higher levels of the stack, without affecting reality, but the paper investigates the theoretical idea of a metaleptic take-over of the “ground level” of reality by the images that are stacked upon it.

	Conference: "Metalepse today" - Paris 2002
		This latter effect, known as metalepsis (Genette), is a kind of forced marriage between levels where the narrator or the narratee strangely enters the domain of the characters, or vice versa.
		While metalepsis in narrative calls for a more general reflection on narrative levels, the status of boundaries, the criteria for segmenting, etc., research in other fields may well prove fruitful for reflection on metalepsis.
		Metalepsis, an enigmatic and disturbing device that calls into question the means of representation, is one of the crucial junctions for any understanding of narrative and, more generally, of representation.

	Style: "Terrible simplicity": Emerson's metaleptic style - 19th-century poet and essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson
		Metalepsis, or "transumption" (the Latin form), describes language in which one trope or figure is added to another "with extreme compression," usually in "rhetorical situations of maximum drama and interest" (Holman and Harmon 297).
		John Hollander, however, has recently shown that metalepsis is useful in formally describing rhetorically charged passages, such as Milton's similes, that, as Samuel Johnson put it, "'crowd the imagination'" (113-15).
		Metalepsis is the key to Emerson's verbal calculus.

		He calls it "the farfet (we would use the word farfetched to mean the same thing), as when we had rather fetch a word a great way off then to use one nerer hand to expresse the matter as well and plainer." Wow.
		The culprit is the mountain, that was the place where the tree grew that was cut down to be made into a mast, which mast was affixed to Jason's boat, the boat on which he sailed to the fateful first meeting with Medea.
		Thus, the device of metalepsis, which Puttenham here illustrates, is the use of a word that is five or six steps removed from the actual, visible source of Medea's distress.

		The first performance of Metalepsis II, dedicated to Bruno Maderna, was conducted by Berio whereas Madrigali was undoubtedly inspired by Berio’s own transcription of Monteverdi’s Il Combattimento.
		Central to Metalepsis II is John Wain’s poem Wildtrack which deals with the subject of tyranny as symbolised in the lives of Joseph Stalin and Henry Ford.
		Metalepsis II may be experienced as a "non-denominational Requiem Mass for all who suffer at the hands of tyrants — political, religious and commercial"; but it also is, in its own way and for all its complexity and sophistication, a powerfully impressive protest work.

	metalepsis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		In its most straightforward form, a metalepsis occurs when the narrator tells the story of a character telling a story.
		The most troubling thing about metalepsis indeed lies in this unacceptable and insistent hypothesis, that the extradiegetic is perhaps always diegetic, and that the narrator and his narratees -- you and I -- perhaps belong to some narrative.
		Philosophical concerns aside, transgressive metalepsis are at the very least exceptional and disruptive points in a narrative.

	Breaking the mold: The construction of the subject in postmodern narrative (Ireland, France, Christine Brooke-Rose, ...
		Narratologists have designated as “metalepsis” the transgression of the boundaries between narrative levels-the theoretically mutually exclusive zones of (extratextual) reality, fictional frame (extradiegetic level), main story (diegesis), and story-within-the-story (hypodiegesis).
		Simultaneously, because of this disruptive potential, the artistic exploitation of metalepsis has run rampant in this postmodern era of the collapse of master narratives, the dismantling of the category of the real, the deconstruction of hierarchical systems of understanding, and the acceptance of the narrative construction of the subject.
		Thus, the study of metalepsis has implications for social and political theory as well as for a theory of narrative.

	Jenn Stephenson research
		Breaking the Frame: Metalepsis and the Construction of the Subject takes as her thesis that metalepsis “bears a mimetic relation to subject-construction processes in our own world” and that via this parallel process of frame-breaking these radically metaleptic works reflect on our constructed subjectivity outside the fiction (9).
		Whereas Malina applies her theory to postmodern novels, I propose to transfer these ideas about narrative metalepsis and the reader to the crossing of dramatic frame-boundaries and the effect on audiences.
		This thematic connection between acts of artistic rapine and metalepsis, and the implications for the similarly constructed audience-self will be the principal concerns of the paper.

		Or, to put it differently, you may have to work a little harder to try to understand a metonym, but it it still can be "commendable." Yet for Puttenham, a metonym "misnames" a word--thus it requires a further or more dramatic "transport" than metaphor does.
		By using metalepsis we, as it were, are "leaping over the heads of a great many words," and "we take one that is furdest off, to utter our matter."

	Jahn: PPP/Narratology
		Typical cases cited in the literature are (1) characters attempting to establish communicative contact with either audience or author (see the device of the 'aside ad spectatores' in drama and film -- D3.4, also actors 'acting out of character'), and (2) narrators and narratees seemingly joining the characters in the action.
		See D. Herman (1997) for a formal description of metalepsis and Malina (2000) for an in-depth exploration of functions, effects, and types of 'reconstructive', 'deconstructive', 'subversive', and 'transformative' metalepses.
		Related phenomena include alterations in prose narratives (N3.3.15), the alienation effect in drama (D6.1), the device goof in film (F5.3.3), and parabasis in classical rhetoric (the latter term refers to a character directly addressing the audience).
