Abstract

The article offers to get acquainted with the meta-narratives meaning and the local narratives interaction in postmodern and post-postmodern culture. The transition from unified modernist narratives to a fragmented postmodern culture is described, emphasizing the importance of “artistic meta-narratives” in this change. Unlike classical metanarratives, artistic metanarratives are associated with cultural and social practices of creating art works. The features of several artistic meta-narratives are identified, their integration into various cultural practices and contexts is traced, thereby contributing to the understanding of their role in modern cultural discourse. The article analyzes the artistic meta- narratives formation in modern culture, with an emphasis on “The Watches” by Sergei Lukyanenko, “The Witcher” by Andrzej Sapkowski and “The Lovecraftian Myth” by Howard Phillips Lovecraft. The basic artistic meta- narratives are discussed in detail, intertextuality is emphasized. The influence of writers’ creativity on the meta-narrative’s formation in literature and other art forms represented by various media is considered
