The term bioptemes is applied to explain the ‘impossible’ communication in the postmodern text. The topological processes in the postmodern text whereby 'normal' boundaries (like those between fiction and reality) are transgressed, make it possible to communicate beyond these so-called borders. The 'conversation’ is carried on in a bioptemie way. Bioptemie interaction is found when the output affects the input: the character rebels against the author, the imbedded text affects the primary text, and the discourses in the text are mutually affected, which often results in the forming of a new discourse. The bioptemes encourage the transgression process and this stresses the necessity to surpass existing modes of thought. Texts included in this study are Theresa se droom (Fransi Phillips), "Die Bruid" (A.H. de Vries) and Louoond (Jeanne Goosen)
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
