The aim of this text is to examine the vacant citation as one of the intertextual models in recent Macedonian postmodern fiction. The subject of analysis are two texts: the short story “Rakopisot od Kitab-an” (“The Manuscript of Kitab-an”) by Macedonian author Vlada Urosevik and the novel “Papokot na svetot” (“The Navel of the World”) by Macedonian author Venko Andonovski. The interpretation is focused on two levels: on the main characteristics and procedures of this intertextual model (pseudocitation, deductive narration, mystification, paradoxes, intertextual mise en abyme); and on the level of metatextual functions of vacant citation: its implicit comments on the intertextuality, epistemological uncertainity and ontological transgressions of literature and within literature.
