BackgroundEpilepsy is often explained through allegory; from magical thinking to misfiring neurons. It is important to appreciate pervasive media portrayals which influence lay attitudes toward epilepsy. George R. R.

Such individuals are devoid of the daily lifestyle of the ordinary people. This isolation leaves a great impact on the physical and mental growth of the individual resulting in further damages in the personality. Socialization becomes lesser or completely barred.

This article argues for the relevance of ‘The Rains of Castamere’ in popular music from three perspectives: first, as a musical adaptation of the ‘medieval’ world of 'folk’ music popularised in George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire novels (1996–); second, as a song embedded in the

Abstract:

The confrontation between good and evil is one of the essential aspects of the fantasy genre. In George R.R. Martin’s epic fantasy novel series A Song of Ice and Fire (ASOIAF, 1996–2011), he approaches this conception from a critical point of view. Whilst Martin creates deep and challenging characters in his novels, he introduces the White Walkers to the audience as almost one-dimensional, classic antagonists. It can therefore be questioned whether this contradicts his approach towards the medieval ethos. In order to answer this question, I will approach the narration from the aspect of totemi

Abstract:

Game of Thrones was adapted from the A Song of Ice and Fire novel series. One of the most significant events in the novels is the Red Wedding, an occasion at which several popular protagonists are unexpectedly and violently killed off. Before the adaptation of the Red Wedding aired, members of a longstanding A Song of Ice and Fire fan forum participated in a discussion thread about their expectations of the scene. The term ‘affective fidelity’ is introduced to describe the ability of an adaptation to trigger the same or similar emotional responses as its source material. I argue that the emoti

Abstract:

An emerging body of opinion cites the Daenerys subplot in George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire (1996-) as a white savior narrative. This article argues against this. Martin presents his emblematic medievalist Occident as equally barbaric as his Orient, disabling the Manichean colonialist allegory some scholars perceive in his work. Although Daenerys certainly thinks like a colonialist savior, such discourse makes most sense as Bakhtinian image of a language, exhibited by Martin in concert with depictions of the intractable problems her actions cause, to mount a polemic authorial critiq

Abstract Working on the hugely successful series of novels known collectively as A Song of Ice and Fire, George R. R.

It is not known, however, to what degree he actually relies in his work on sources of genuinely medieval provenance, since he himself frequently admits that amongst those that made the biggest impact on his writing are modern works of fiction, such as Maurice Druon’s heptalogy Les Rois

Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire, adapted into the TV series Game of Thrones: the saga which, by his own admission, inspired one of the renowned present-day Russian ‘historical’ prose-writers, A.

The notion of authorship is a core element in antipiracy campaigns accompanying an emerging copyright regime, worldwide. These campaigns are built on discourses that aim to ‘problematize’ the issues of ‘legality’ of content downloading practices, ‘protection’ for content creators and the alleged damage caused to creators’ livelihood by piracy. Under these tensions, fandom both subverts such discourses, through sharing and production practices, and legitimizes industry’s mythology of an ‘original’ author. However, how is the notion of authorship constructed in the cooperative spaces of fandom?

The classical novels of the 19th century corresponded with early modern national society. At the beginning of the 21st century, serials have replaced classical novels in structuring the form of social reality. The narrative structure of Game of Thronescorresponded with postclassical, postcolonial social reality. The co-existence of different genres, the different types of co-existence between “realistic medieval” and mythological reality, the co-existence of different narrators without a dominant point of view, and the asynchrony of episodes and the dramatic unexpected turns of plot are specif

Abstract:

The paper is a review of a number of writings in the humanities and in social science devoted to George Martin’s series of epic fantasy novels A Song of Ice and Fire, and the television-serial drama Game of Thrones. At the beginning, we analyze the researchers’ most heuristically-fruitful intellectual reactions to Game of Thrones, that is, specific products such as texts that may be of interest to social theory. The main part of the article considers the institutional and discursive order of George Martin’s saga through the research lens of the classics of modern social theory, such as Niccolo

Abstract:

Joseph Campbell’s The Hero with a Thousand Faces is a classic for the analysis of the archetypal hero’s journey, and contemporary TV series use his monomyth to elaborate character profiles. Such is the case of the corpus of our work: Game of Thrones, the TV adaptation of George R. R. Martin’s saga A Song of Ice and Fire. Amid the multiple relevant figures in Game of Thrones, this article takes Arya Stark as the object of study to discuss questions of representation and gender in contemporary TV. Our method comprises the close reading of Arya’s narrative arc and our main unit of analysis is the

Abstract:

An integral part of social believability in role playing games is believability of non-player characters (NPC). In this paper we argue for the importance of believability in NPCs, even those that are completely outside of any pre-written quest or plot. We present NPCAgency, a system designed to generate many conversational NPCs as packaged narrative assets that can be shared and imported into various projects to increase story-world immersion. We believe such a system can help solve two problems. First, the authorial burden of the game designer is lessened, allowing renderings of large numbers

Abstract:

The article is dedicated to the analysis of the mechanisms of the interaction of power, money, and knowledge in the context of the pre-modern society described by George Martin in A Song of Ice and Fire. The author notes that Martin created an almost unique picture of a society roughly corresponding to Europe of the late Middle Ages, deprived of the state, but drunk with its intuitions and forebodings. In the framework of this society, personal loyalty, love, physical strength, and beauty, that is, the qualities inherent in most of the main characters, become the main values. However, the futu
