Abstract

The article analyzes features of parodic discourse of Barbieri's novel Epitaph of a Royal Gourmet through L. Hutcheon’s theoretical concepts. It explores different parodic subversive strategies (parody of the diary genre, problematizing of the fictionality of historiographic representation, interpolating of gastronomical sublite-rary genres) through which ambivalent politics of postmodern representation are manifested in this novel.
