Abstract
The crisis of the fantastic affects the story forms and the expressive resources of language, that become themselves subjects of the fantastic, questioning the boundaries between fiction and reality. Beyond a simple thematic inventory, the reflexive dimension (metafiction) becomes consubstantial to the fantastic, designating the textual strategies meant to convey the crisis of reality postulated by the mimesis. Readers, authors and characters are found within a text type which, although proclaims itself as fictional, it "erodes" the identities, worlds and discourses. Thus, the fantastic story exhibits the narrative processes and the elements of intertextuality, permanently placing between the brackets the border between "the world in which the story is told and the one about which the story is told" (Gerard Genette, Figures III).
Keywords: crisis, fantastic, langaj, metafiction, story, strategy.
