Abstract:
The paper seeks to explore the concept of the secondary world as developed in Susanna Clarke’s 2020 fantasy novel Piranesi. The analysis is conducted in the context of the evolution of the literary motif of fairy abduction between the classic medieval texts and its current incarnations in modern speculative fiction. The argument relates the unique secondary world model found in Clarke’s novel to the extensive intertextual relationship Piranesi has with the tradition of portal fantasy narratives, and discusses it in the context of the progressive cognitive internalisation of the perception of t

Abstract:
In The Jesuit, an early work by the popular novelist John Frederick Smith, three young English officers pass through Lisbon during the Peninsular War. While exploring a church they meet a mysterious Jesuit, who engages them in conversation about hostile British attitudes to his order. He tells them that ‘You paint a devil of your own creation, give it horns and attributes, then shudder at the phantom you have raised’. However, in the context of the novel, the threat from Jesuits is all too real. The villain of the story, the orders General in Spain, has no scruples about engaging in a sustaine

Abstract:
Ironizing the violence to convey the political message about minority, Saadat Hasan Monto uses humanistic radical irony as a vehicle for political commentary by demystifying the politics of the representation of violence in official texts of both modern India and Pakistan. Partition affected every sector of human affairs badly. So, partition stories depict the irreplaceable loss displacement, dispossession, abduction, rape, painful death and other forms of violence that common people suffered from all three communities: Hindu, Sikh and Muslim.

A handwritten tale of the middle of the 18th century The Story of the Maiden Laciona is known in a single copy. The tale tells about the escape of a girl with a lover from her parents’ house. To solve the question of whether the Russian fiction of the 17th – 18th centuries became a source of inspiration for the unknown author of the story, we applied the following methodology. Identifying a certain motive, we take into account its role in the plot of the Story and compare it with the function of the same motive in popular works of Russian fiction of the 17th – 18th centuries.

Abstract:
This essay investigates literary representations of border violence in Ana Castillo’s The Guardians (2007) in order to revise the north-south paradigms central to contemporary understanding of the US-México border. Explanatory models that reduce the border to a geopolitical barrier fail to recognize its nonterritorial and historical dimensions. To make this argument, the essay examines the representational strategies of multiple realisms and shows how Castillo’s adaptation of these techniques provides a counternarrative to popular discourses of the border.

It investigates how a number of prominent and less-known male authors from the centre and margins of the twentieth-century Hindi literary canon, including Rishabhcharan Jain, Shriyut ‘Arun’ and Durgadas Bhaskar, depict unconventional family constellations and human relationships that challenge normative conceptions of family, fatherhood, conjugality and blood bonds as well as gender roles and responsibilities.

At the threshold of commemorating seventy-seven years of Indian independence, the shadows of cataclysmic incident of Partition and its aftermath cannot be obliterated. The political upheaval at the midnight is historicized with demographics analysing the root cause of the division and creation of two states and accounts glorifying the independence movement catering to the purpose of nationalistic fervour but the heart wrenching accounts of human suffering recorded in literary works by the writers writing from the opposite sides of the great divide narrate the unsayable experiences of the milli

Abstract:
The article examines personification in the speech of a child narrator. Along with other grammatical and lexical features of a child’s speech, the use of personification by children is distinguished. Personification in a child’s speech, as well as in human speech, can be explained by metaphorical nature of human thinking as well as anthropocentrism of human thinking and speech. Personification can be a characteristic of the speech of a child narrator in fiction intended for adult readership. It is worth noticing that the use of a child narrator as a device is not new in literature. In the cour

Abstract:
Abstract John Searle argues that (literary) fictions are constituted by mere pretense—by the simulation of representational activities like assertions, without any further representational aim. They are not the result of sui generis, dedicated speech acts of a specific kind, on a par with assertion. The view had earlier many defenders, and still has some. Stefano Predelli enlists considerations derived from Searle in support of his radical fictionalism. This is the view that a sentence of fictional discourse including a prima facie empty fictional name like “Emma Woodhouse” in fact “is not a s

The novel is a third person intimate narrative set in the mid-nineteenth century and is based on actual events and persons caught up in, or furthering, the mass dispossession of small farmers in Scotland known as the ‘Clearances’. The narrative focuses on the situation in the Outer Hebrides and northern Scotland.

Abstract:
This thesis brings together eighteenth-century attitudes to the abduction of women portrayed by the law, by newspapers, and in fiction. I focus attention on the interest these different forms of narrative share in scrutinizing women’s behaviour and argue that the abduction plot is more important than its status as a stock literary convention would imply. Rather, it is a pliant, complex, and nuanced motif that allows writers the space to explore the difficult and contradictory position of women and attitudes to sexual relations. This thesis is divided into two parts. The first part comprises tw

Abstract Scientific models are no longer just seen as helpful tools for discovering new entities, rules, and theories or for elucidating existing ones in the present epistemological discussion: from the classical ones, as abstract entities and idealizations, to the more recent, as fictions, surrogates, credible worlds, missing systems, make-believe, parables, functions, epistemic actions, and revealing capacities. The discussion of these approaches illustrates some of their epistemological shortcomings while also making use of contemporary developments in cognitive research. With the aid of cu

Abstract:
This chapter analyses the critical representation of changing baby care methods in Charlotte Yonge’s fiction to parse the growing awareness of competitive parenting advice in Victorian culture. As a religious novelist dedicated to producing realist accounts of family life, Yonge creates unidealized infant protagonists who exhibit realistically described, age-appropriate behaviour. While they demonstrate the effects of different childrearing methods, Yonge avoids producing model children or parents. Instead, she depicts baby care as demanding domestic work that is rendered more difficult by the

Close Encounters is a UFO movie that arose from a resurgence of ufology in the 1970s, which coincided with the growth of New Age movements, mysticism, alien-abduction cults, and an increasing belief in conspiracy theories. The film speaks to Utopianism, the belief within international relations theory that war can be eliminated either by perfecting man or by perfecting government. Utopianism is, of course, a key concept in science fiction. The chapter then looks at Jack Kroll's revie

Similarly, when Edward Rochester, angered at her rejection of his prenuptial caresses, accuses Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre of being not his Jane but a “changeling,” he is attempting to fathom what to him is a strange transformation in personality and behavior.
