Abstract

In this paper we tried to illustrate some of the basic postulates of the theory of possible worlds by Lubomir Doležel on the example of Borislav Pekić’s story The Fiddler from the Golden Time. We tried to show how storytelling strategies contribute to the constitution of a complex fictional world. We examined the basic methods of creating a possible world and situated that methods within the framework of Doležel’s theoretical explication. In the constellation of characters in this story, the hero who belongs to the alternative world is in a position of power. Double fictionality operates on the plane of the fictional world constituted by storytelling and the unrealized possibilities of the past. Autobiographical elements are transformed into facts of the fictional world, and by influencing the alternative into the fictionally existing, the author seeks to interpret the conformist position in a restrictive ideological matrix in a critical way. The demystification of ideology in the narrative about the poet and his counterpart moves to a metaphysical plane identified with the domain of the story.
