- When did artists begin to dissociate themselves from the real and the social, instead turning inwards to examine their own craft? What is the attraction of texts which subtly point to their own aesthetic make-up? Why would authors wish to jeopardize the frail construct of aesthetic illusion by undermining the law of celare artem, one of art’s most important aesthetic tenets? And what are the techniques developed in painting, drama, poetry, narrative fiction, TV-drama and film to achieve metatextuality and heightened reader-consciousness? - Texts discussed will range from Shakespeare and Stoppard to Sex and the City and The Simpsons.
