  Abstract:  Bovarism and Consumerism in Woody Allen’s “The Kugelmass Episode”. This study analyses the narrative technique engaged by Woody Allen in his short story “The Kugelmass Episode”, focusing on the ‘transvaluation’ (as G. Genette puts it) of Flaubert’s character, Mme. Bovary, as she is displaced from her own fictional world and introduced into a world governed by the logic of consumerism, in order to identify the reasons behind the migration of the character.

Keywords: Bovarism, consumerism, hypertextuality, postmodernist narrative techniques, transworld indentity, Woody Allen, Gustave Flaubert.
