👉 Metalepses is a literary term used in the works of French writer Jacques Prévert. It refers to the idea that art, literature, and other forms of expression can be seen as a form of communication between minds or spirits, rather than as direct representations of the physical world. The concept was first introduced by François Mauriac in his 1948 novel "Pouvoir", which explores the themes of language, memory, and the unconscious mind.
