Abstract:

Slaughterhouse-Five written by Kurt Vonnegut is a science fiction that depicts the depicts the main character Billy Pilgrims time travelling after experiencing the bombing of Dresden. This paper interprets the relationship between Billy Pilgrim and Kilgore Trout based on Fredric Jamesons theory of mode of pastiche and nostalgia to analyse the incapability of time and history reflected from Billy Pilgrim. From the strategy of presenting this relationship, a wildly shared postmodern character can be suggested, which is the incapability of time and history in the contemporary society. Furthermore

Abstract:

The article is devoted to an important phenomenon — political fiction as a kind of an ideological construction analogue. Fiction has deepened the fantasy traits of an ideological structure. Irrespective of its imaginary character, it can produce a real impact on political and other social processes. Fictitious politics flourished during the French revolution and got consolidated in the era of authoritarian and totalitarian regimes.

In the process of life, a person accumulates their own individual experience, which depends on many factors: upbringing, family, education, professional activity, relationships with other people, etc. As a result, a person forms certain dominant concepts, through the prism of which they perceive the world and in

Abstract:

Abstract This essay examines the question of whether and under what conditions a fictitious character can be an epistemic authority for (real) readers; more precisely: it asks whether and under what conditions readers can acquire (propositional) knowledge from the character, thus learning something from it. In answering this question, the essay brings together two debates that have so far hardly been related to each other: an epistemological debate on the concept of epistemic authority and a literary-theoretical debate on aesthetic cognitivism, i. e., the discourse about what can be learned fr

It includes a study of the system of fictitious authors in Don Quixote from the viewpoint of the semiology of literature. Examining the praxis in Don Quixote, it studies the construction and disposition of a) the real author in the text, b) the principal narrator, and c) the rhetorical system of the fictitious authors.

After briefly discussing the sub-genre of fictitious autobiography, this paper will analyze the varied use of intertextuality, the tensions fabricated between the autobiographer and his helpers, and the critical thoughts and tendencies which Nye absorbed in prep

The aim of this thesis is to introduce, justify, and apply a better framework for analysing Sherlock Holmes, one of the most adapted characters of all time. The project works to resituate the focus of those involved in studying adaptations of Sherlock Holmes from an examination of the discrete transition of a text from page to screen, to the evolution of the character as it changes across various intertexts and through time. The purpose is to show that it is the character specifically, and not the literary text with its narrative, genric, and aesthetic qualifications, that is being adapted, an

Abstract:

Steamboat, Billy Batson’s friend and valet, was a stereotypical African American character who appeared in Fawcett’s comic books until 1945, when a group of New York City middle school students visited Captain Marvel editor Will Lieberson. Those students, all part of a program called Youthbuilders, Inc., successfully argued for the character’s removal. Drawing on the work of Ralph Ellison, Toni Morrison, and George Yancy, this chapter studies the character and his similarities to other racial caricatures in U. S. popular culture of the era. It also provides a short history of the Youthbuilders, an organization created by social worker Sabra Holbrook. The chapter concludes with a discussion of Alan Moore’s Evelyn Cream, a black character who appears in the 1980s series Miracleman. Although not directly based on Steamboat, Moore’s character was an attempt to address racial stereotypes in superhero comic books, figures that have their origins in the narratives of the 1930s and 1940s.

Abstract:

While Melville was composing Billy Budd, Sailor he was reading, according to witnesses, Balzac’s Séraphita, an important mystical Etude Philosophique introduced to him at least by Hawthorne. In it, the innocent and suffering main character is resigned to die in order to fulfill a higher role in humanity. Hawthorne is referenced in Billy Budd, Sailor twice as is his story “The Birth-Mark,” one of the first he wrote under the influence of unité de composition in 1846. In this case, Melville employs the magnetism of forces in perfect balance – instinctive, abstractive, angelic – as Balzac does in Séraphita. In its simplicity the story reflects the profoundest understanding of unitism expressed by Schopenhauer as well, whom Melville was also reading as recommended by the Theosophical commentator in his volume. This process of writing and understanding gave Melville the power to close his life in peace with creative Will, which Balzac maintained was what “the savants called the soul.”

Abstract:

Abstract This chapter suggests that supporters of unjust enrichment may have adopted an unduly narrow view of contract law which is at odds with the historical narrative. The term ‘quasi-contract’ is commonly equated with a fictious implied contract. In fact, liability brought about by contractual incapacity, failed and unenforceable contracts, and quantum meruit can be justified by real rather than fictitious contracts. The reason that contractual reasoning was squeezed out was not so much because these claims cannot be regarded as contractual in character, but because of the influence of the classical model of contract.

Full text

Abstract:

Haruki Murakami’s texts stand out when it comes to their linguistic aspects. Despite writing in Japanese, Haruki Murakami often uses English loanwords, quotes, and intertextual references. By using such stylistic devices, the author gives rise to the feeling of estrangement. This is, however, often lost when his literature is translated into other languages. To set some of the characters apart, to show that they are different, lonely or eccentric, Murakami makes them speak in dialects. The most popular methods of translating such utterances include creating a fictitious dialect, using colloquial language or a parallel dialect existing in the target language, or omitting the dialect completely, therefore neutralizing how a given character speaks. In “Yesterday,” one of Murakami’s works translated by Anna Zielińska-Elliott into Polish, a character originally speaking the Kansai dialect uses the Poznań dialect.

Abstract:

Stanwyck’s role in Double Indemnity, provoked by Billy Wilder, is examined in this chapter as a gamble with her body, her star image, and her labor that ultimately enabled her to play more complex characters in postwar cinema. Following Elisabeth Bronfen and Julie Grossman, the capacity for violence in characters such as Phyllis Dietrichson and Kathy Doyle in Crimes of Passion is read as an expression of agency and, in Walter Benjamin’s words, “a destructive character,” who is entirely open to a changed future. Stanwyck’s “new New Woman” of the 1940s is entirely at home in commodity culture but not at all at home in marriage.

Although he did not create Captain Marvel, Otto Binder wrote most of the stories featuring the character in the 1940s and early 1950s. Binder got his start as a literary agent and science fiction writer. Under the name Eando Binder, he and his brother Earl began publishing in the science fiction pulps of the 1930s. The Mr. Tawny stories about a talking tiger who becomes friends with Billy Batson are Binder and artist C. C. Beck’s most accomplished work, filled with autobiographical traces of Binder’s life as a freelance writer. This chapter draws on theories from the disciplines of animal studies and comics scholarship to examine these narratives, which remain some of the most compelling comics published during the Golden Age of comics in the U. S.

Abstract:

The chapter begins with a discussion of the classical Gothic resonances of Billy Wilder’s 1950 film Sunset Boulevard. In their differing ways, both Sunset Boulevard and Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? present us with a California-specific variation upon the familiar classical Gothic trope of the aristocratic villain who is a threatening relic of the feudal past, a connection reinforced by Kenneth Anger’s sardonic characterisation of Hollywood’s stars of the 1920s as ‘the new royalty’ in Hollywood Babylon (1975). Norma Desmond is also compared to a notable modern American Gothic character type: the tragic but dangerous figure who refuses to give up their own comforting but illusory private world. Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962) is situated as a cautionary tale of childhood innocence horrifically corrupted by a youthful brush with celebrity.

Abstract:

Recent approaches to Greek and Roman art unanimously and emphatically stress the character of images as visual and material ‘constructions’ (Bažant 1985; von den Hoff and Schmidt 2001). This concept is held by the most advanced, thoughtful and serious voices of art history, and it is applied to all kinds of figurative representation, from individual figures to multi-figured scenes, through all genres and periods of ancient art. Thus, Richard Neer sees Archaic statues as ‘signs’ to which the concept of likeness to real persons is fundamentally alien (Neer 2012: 110–12). François Lissarrague interprets scenes of a warrior’s departure on Athenian vases as non-realistic constellations of the Greek oikos (Lissarrague 1990: 35–53). Wolfgang Ehrhardt analyses the Alexander mosaic from Pompeii as a purely fictitious depiction of the historical battle between Alexander and Darius III (Ehrhardt 2008).

Abstract:

Abstract Chapter 3 delves into the narrative that contemporaneous critics perceived in the Fifth Symphony, even though Shostakovich had offered no program. The context for this narrative is a rich tradition of literary and musical works that illustrate the difficulties the Russian intelligentsia faced in adjusting to the Soviet state. One particular literary prototype explored here is the fictitious symphony composed by “Nikita Karev,” a character in Konstantin Fedin’s novel Brothers. There is a discussion of the nearest real-world counterparts in symphonies by Myaskovsky, Shcherbachev, and Shaporin. The Fifth was also perceived as a Hamlet-like creation, saturated with doubts and questioning, an interpretation prompted by Yuri Olesha’s play The List of Benefits. Another play that entered this literary complex was Alexei Faiko’s The Concert, which became a kind of stage commentary on Shostakovich’s predicament. Alexei Tolstoy’s official endorsement of the symphony said that it provides evidence for a “maturation of personality,” and this chapter shows that Tolstoy’s description depended on his readers’ familiarity with the “intelligentsia and revolution” trope in such a way that Shostakovich’s symphonic narrative received a positive spin.
