mise en abîme: Mise en abîme ("put in the abyss", in the sense of infinity) is a French voice for a design in heraldry or blaszoning where a shield is repeated drawn within the same shield, which in turn also has the same drawing, and which continues to be repeated with a recursion effect.

efecto droste: It is a variant of the mise en abîme used in blazoning, but applied to art, design and optical effects.

This feature in a well-known product in its time inspired dutch journalist Nico Scheepmaker to popularize in the 1970s the name 'Droste effect' for this recursion in designs with a meta-reference. See mise in abyme .
metarreferencia: It is an artistic resource by which the author introduces in his work a reference to himself as such, outside the narrative and the image he represents; in some cases it may be a reference to the story of the same author, or the actor who plays it if it is a play, film or television.

See mise en abîme , Droste effect , mise en abyme .
