Microficção e ficção curta rodeadas por andaimes

Abstract

Both short story and micro/ flash fiction have brevity as their common core feature. However, they are both products of a different epoch and surged in different circumstances. Contrary to the short story, micro fiction and flash fiction have not met with opposition from within (the novel) or from without (severe and condemning criticism). Finally one may ask: what is the place and the nature of the only occasionally mentioned vignette.
