How Do I Approach this question? What does it mean 'the truth about subjectivity?
please help!
Take an example of a film or novel and discuss the way the TRUTH
about subjectivity is constructed in the work

This is just a guess, but I take it as asking about how point of view is utilized, and how the points of view of different characters influence their perception.
Por una cabeza
Si ella me olvida
Qué importa perderme
Mil veces la vida
Para qué vivir
The way that the question is posed makes it very open ended, but I take it that you are looking for a good example from fiction where a character's subjectivity is fundamental to the work and may or may not be an accurate reflection of reality. If that is how it should be understood, then "Pale Fire" by V. Nabokov would be an excellent example. The reader is not told what the real situation is, but the narrator is presented as absorbed in his own subjective world.Originally Posted by Maljackson
If you're looking for examples about truth/subjectivity etc. I would recommend "A History of the World in 10 1/2 Chapters" by Julian Barnes, I think it's one of the most obvious examples of how "truth" is constructed from a subjective point of view and a good read anyway. Other novels would be "The French Lieutenant's Woman" by John Fowles, "Money" by Martin Amis or "Possession" by A.S. Byatt. As for movies, there is "Memento" as a very good example, I'd say.
Does that have anything to do with postmodernism? I have been dealing with reality/fiction, subjective/obejective truth etc. in a course about postmodern fiction, so if you need any texts about that, just let me know.
