| Summary: | The double is one of the predominant structures in fantastic orientation narratives. Not only is it related
to theories of the fantastic in its conceptual articulation; it also inherits the same problems of context and
dissemination of categories. This article approaches the double as part of a study on fantastic literature in
the context of postmodern narratives. For this, the following axes will be considered: multiple concep-
tions of the fantastic given since the mid-twentieth century; the transition from modern to postmodern
representation; the coincidence between postmodern narrative and representation of the double; the
convergence of duplicities; the social double; the double and gender relations, the inefficiency of binary
representation, and the deformation of literary doubles in parody and ontological instability
