Abstract:

The article is a brief overview of the main trends in Russian adventure literature in the period from the October Revolution of 1917 till the First All-Union Congress of Soviet Writers held in 1934. The genre-thematic varieties of original works of adventure prose are considered, such as Russian Robinsonade (Z. Davydov), documentary-fiction adventure prose (V. Arsenyev), historical adventure literature (V. Yan, M. Zuev-Ordynec, N. Smirnov), historical and technical texts (B. Zhitkov), “pseudo-translated” novels etc. It identifies currently little-known texts that are really powerful from the l

Abstract:

The novel Afraja, written by the German author and liberal Theodor Mügge and published in 1854 provides an opportunity to explore connections between travel writing and adventure stories from the perspective of one of Germany's most popular writers of the nineteenth century. The focus of my discussion in this paper is to explore the implications of the meeting between a fictional Sámi, living in the exotic North and a Danish aristocratic adventurer whose attitudes reflect the discourse of Mügge's politically liberal views. Additionally, Mügges fiction sketches out different images of the Sámi.

Abstract:

In the 1950s and 1970s, bibliographers made attempts to define the genre of fiction and offer a systematization of the available fiction literature. The purpose of the article is to trace the development of the category of “fantastic” in the recommendation indexes of Z. P. Shalashova “Adventures. Journeys. Science Fiction”, “Artificial Earth satellites. Interplanetary flights”, “Adventures and travel”. The problems faced by bibliographers were related both to the sharp increase in publications of fantastic literature, and to the weak development of the theoretical apparatus in literary studies

Abstract:

Building on Patrick Brantlinger’s description of imperial Gothic fiction as “that blend of adventure story with Gothic elements”, this article compares the narrative formula of adventure fiction to two tales of haunting produced in a colonial context: Rudyard Kipling’s “The Mark of the Beast” (1890) and Arthur Conan Doyle’s “The Brown Hand” (1899). My central argument is that these stories form an antithesis to adventure fiction: while adventure stories reaffirm the belief in the imperial mission and the racial superiority of the British through the display of hypermasculine heroes, Kipling’s

Abstract:

The “Choose Your Own Adventure” is an ongoing collection of children’s gamebooks published by Bantam Books, the first issues released in the late 1970s. The success of the series was ensured by the opportunity provided to readers through a sequence of decisions (a choice from a closed list) to influence the development of the plot, to complete and variably complete the story, to “join” the story as the main character. Readers also interact with the fictional spaces created within the narrative in a new way. They do not simply enter “pre-existing” spaces, but instead, they “complete” them, tran

Abstract:

A hallmark of human intelligence is the ability to understand and communicate with language. Interactive Fiction games are fully text-based simulation environments where a player issues text commands to effect change in the environment and progress through the story. We argue that IF games are an excellent testbed for studying language-based autonomous agents. In particular, IF games combine challenges of combinatorial action spaces, language understanding, and commonsense reasoning. To facilitate rapid development of language-based agents, we introduce Jericho, a learning environment for man-

Verney Lovett Cameron (1844–1894) has now lapsed into relative obscurity, but in the late nineteenth century he was among the premiere British explorers, having established his credentials by completing a transcontinental African expedition (1872–76) from present-day Tanzania to Angola. This article, however, focuses on Cameron's status as the most prolific of a range of explorers who turned to the affordances of prose fiction.

As the locus of adventure moves from “real” wilderness spaces to the domesticated spaces of ravine and suburb, I suggest that play replaces survival as the ideological subtexts of young adult fiction.

They promote an adventure characterized by perpetual potential and possibility, one we might more accurately term 'meta-adventure.' This model was central to both the imperialist enterprise during t

To chart accurately the contours of the novel, literary historians are in the process of recovering the variety and complexity of its generic practice across its history.

I suggest that sea adventure plots are defined by readers' playful manipulation of information to solve problems posed by the text.

By weaving together extant understandings of bodies and animation with theories of the queer body, this analysis uses fluidity to examine queerness in Adventure Time.

Abstract:

Gender identity is nowadays widely agreed to be socio-culturally constructed. Children’s books may have a powerful impact on such constructions, particularly in the mid-twentieth century before the supremacy of television and digital media. Much popular children’s fiction of this period has been dismissed as conforming to, rather than challenging, gender stereotypes. Is this in fact too simplistic a picture? Victoria Flanagan (Into the Closet; Reframing Masculinity) has theorised that in children’s adventure fiction females take on male identities to gain agency, often very successfully, while

Abstract:

Christian Richard “Dick” Schaare Jr. (pronounced Shar) was arguably New Jersey’s most prolific and perhaps greatest pulp artist of the 20th century. His iconic artwork would grace hundreds of book covers, dust jackets, comic books, magazines, cigar boxes, calendars, milk cartons, and advertisements for more than 40 years from the 1920s to the 1960s. His pulp fiction artwork is well-known except for 18 dust jackets commissioned by the A. L. Burt Company for their Boy Scout fiction series books published in the mid to late 1920s. That he illustrated these dust jackets, brimming with action, adve

Abstract:

The article identifies thе alternative changes to the traditional plot pattern for autobiographical narration. Memoirs of the 18th century are based on the cumulative principle presuming that heterogeneous events (both nation-wide and those of public and private life of the memoirist himself) are described in parallel and in a strict chronological sequence. In contrast to the previous tradition of memoir-making, Shakhovskoy conceptualizes his life as moving from happiness to unhappiness and focuses on the cumulative plot of an adventure novel. He describes only official activity and builds up

Abstract:

There had been relatively little interest in a narrative of female individuation within mythology. Revisionist myths and legends in contemporary literaturehave thus addressed issues of women’s identity and autonomy while redesigningthe gendered spaces in these cultural narratives. The need for alternative mobility arcs within the cultural imaginary was also recognized for adolescent girls in their quest for subjectivity.This paper thus explores two works of children’s fiction, viz.

In each case it was necessary to move critical inertions, to discover innovations in the narrative formulation of discourse polymorphism, the dialogic report of variations and the parodic un
