Abstract
<jats:p>In recent decades autofiction has become one of the most discussed phenomena in contemporary literature and culture in general. The aim of this scientific article is to trace the historical development of autofiction as a literary and socio-cultural phenomenon, and to formulate a new model for its analysis through autofictional variables. The scientific novelty of this article lies in the introduction of the concept of autofictional variables as a set of recognizable techniques that determine the uniqueness of each autofictional work, as well as in the development of a dynamic model that allows identifying the diversity of autofiction forms adapted to contemporary socio- cultural realities. As a result, the author defines two stages in the development of autofiction - generic one and ego-documentary, highlights a number of autofictional variables that emphasize the belonging of a work to autofiction, and proposes a dynamic model for analyzing autofiction in the diversity of its forms and contexts, taking into account individual experience and changes in society, deepening the understanding of the role of autofiction in contemporary culture.</jats:p>
