Description: This paper examines postmodernist influences on the vitality of frame stories in contemporary Armenian prose. Analyzing the socio-political shifts from the last years of Soviet rule to the post-Soviet era, it identifies key factors shaping the new phase of Armenian literature. Furthermore, the study outlines strategies enabling the integration of the frame story with Armenian postmodernist prose, encompassing incredulity towards grand narratives, intertextuality (including irony, parody, and pastiche), fragmentation, and metafiction. Through the examined frame story examples, this paper illustrates that contemporary Armenian prose is aware of the ideological-psychological reflection of national and global movements. It reveals that this reflection made the above-mentioned strategies preferable for Armenian prose writers, resulting in their frequent application and the proliferation of frame stories in contemporary works. This research sheds light on the dynamic interplay between literary form and ideological and socio-political context, providing a nuanced comprehension of the evolution of Armenian prose within postmodernism.
