3 hrs confidence: 
multi-layered mise en abyme Explanation: I think you have the right idea. Considering the nature of the abstract, the target audience should be familiar with terms like this and this is also less ambiguous than the more general alternative you proposed, so this seems like the better choice. |

peer agreement (net): +1nested story structure Explanation: I think "mise en abyme" works better for a picture within a picture, but "nested" is better for a story within a story. Maybe "levels of embedding in the narrative structure" would be closer to the terminology used for literary theory? I'd go with either "nested story structure" or "narrative structure with embedded levels" |
