The study examines Ali Smith’s Winter (2017) in light of the discourse of ‘relationality’ as it is formulated in ‘metamodernist’ theoretical speculations. Smith’s text utilizes the aesthetics of ‘metamodernism’ and its salient features to re-envision alternative forms of binary distinctions namely; death and rebirth, vision and truth, past and present, transience and permanence, superficiality and depth, as well as the dialectic and dialogic thinking. Such disparate polarities are no longer regarded as oppositional extremes that exist in vacuity, but they negotiate as interrelated, mutually inclusive and simultaneously operative contentions. Textual analysis reveals the complex process Winter undertakes to reclaim the fractured state of the individual subject, construct spaces of dialogic communication, reimagine utopian desire of tolerant and collaborative world.
