From Trans-Narrative to Hyper-Narrative; A Study of Second-Degree Narratives

The present text pays attention to a topic which, despite its fresh title, namely, ‘trans-narrative’or ‘’hyper-narrative’ has always been discussed in a variety of forms. The relationship between narratives and how to make use of previous narratives in creating new ones – be it intra-sign or inter-sign exchanges – has always been important in literature and arts; both in intra-exchanges such as cinema-cinema, and in inter-exchanges such as literature-music. The present paper attempts to study the relationship between narratives with a tans-narrative approach; an approach with its own view, method, requirements and conditions. As will be seen, the paper has made use of narratology and trans-textuality as the two main approaches.
