El paratexto como transgresión metaléptica de Mundos Posibles: El imperio de Yegorov de Manuel Moyano

We analyze the science fiction novel El imperio de Yegorov by Manuel Moyano (2014) applying the apperception theory of fantastic linkages. In this novel –composed by different typologies of apparently non-fictional texts compiled by apocryphal editors–, the factual construction of the dystopian Possible World (PW2) of the story is materialized thanks to rigidly designated fictional elements, direct references of our actual world with which he builds the type I world model of the first part (PW1).Applying the cognitive approach of the apperception theory and the analytical scheme on the text, we highlight the way in which the paratextual elements of the novel produce metaleptic displacements that dis-locate and re-locate the reading around different attractors that transgress the fictional logic and derive towards the creation of an Impossible World IW
