Abstract:

In every period, the painters gave direction to their works based on the concepts they were interested in; They reflected the subject they wanted to tell by using different elements in their works. The concept of “fantastic” has been seen in most works since the existence of societies. Many factors such as the period in which people live, their beliefs and value judgments have been effective in the use of fantastic items. Fantastic elements found in written and unwritten sources were handled in the works of painters in different periods, with different styles. In literary products

This study aims to expand the scope of nail design materials that can satisfy the tendencies of various consumers and provide commercialized materials through nail art works that apply the dream and fantastic characteristics of surrealist works. The research methods of this paper are as follows. In order to theoretically examine the dream and fantastic characteristics of Vladimir Kush’s works among surrealist artists, we analyzed Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalysis theory that influenced surrealism, previous research on Vladimir Kush, and the contents of exhibitions.

Abstract:

The everyday sense of pragmatic involves ideas of sensible practice, cautious realism about current situations, flexibility allied to technical knowledge, and the prioritisation of what works, as opposed to unrealistic and damaging ideals. I argue against this technical and sensible flavour of pragmatism, pre-sent in many of its historical and contemporary versions. Pragmatism can be taken as technically-minded, realistic and practical, thereby avoiding the excesses of abstract ideologies. Instead, I will defend the thesis that pragmatism should be fantastic, in the precise sense of metaphysic

Abstract:

The article attempts to identify the time when the category “fantastic” appeared in the aesthetic thought of the Pushkin era. Common and fixed in the poetics of this time was another, close in meaning, term “chudesnoe” (“miraculous”). It denoted the “supernatural” (a concept that has become crucial in literary fantastic) but did not fundamentally differ from similar phenomena, such as rare, unexpected, and extraordinary. According to the National Corpus of the Russian Language, the word “fantastic” finds frequent use only after 1830, which chronologically coincides with the period of active pe

Stephen King often manipulates with time by referring to time anomalies, disrupting the timeline of his works, and incorporating time loops along with parallel worlds. In his works, time is an unpredictable phenomenon, and the disruption of its established order results in a sense of helplessness and loss of control as well as creates an atmosphere of horror. In the author’s novel of 1977, “The Shining” horrifying events from the past of the Overlook Hotel intertwine with contemporary events, generating terrifying visions in the characters’ consciousness.

The unified tone of all Dickens’s works is reached by a special "touch" of the "fantastic", what has already been noted in literary criticism.

At that time, the works are still heterogeneous, but quite clearly show some common tendencies. By depicting the “invasion” of the supernatural, the early fantastic story initiates doubt in the reader about the established worldview only to lead him or her to an “outcome” of the fantasy plot. Such an outcome, as a rule, lies outside the aesthetic sphere — it is either a moral admonition, an appeal to the principles of a certain ph

Although one of the most prominent writers (and theorists) of science fiction in France throughout the period of 1900-1930, Maurice Renard has heretofore received very little critical attention outside his native land.

Abstract:

In pre-revolutionary fiction, the struggle of the worlds was perceived mainly as a clash between earthlings and an extraterrestrial civilization. After the emergence of the Soviet state, the struggle between the Bolshevik and antiBolshevik worlds became one of the key themes in fiction. By the early 1930s, the formula “struggle of the worlds” existed in Russian literature both as fantastic and non-fantastic, reflecting a real social confrontation. However, the idea of a world revolution as the goal and result of the struggle of the worlds is actually eliminated from science fiction. The social

Abstract This paper examines magical realism in Okinawa bungaku (Okinawan literature) with a special focus on the literary works of Medoruma Shun. The central research questions are what kind of Okinawan realities these magical-realistic texts point towards and which real problems thus become obvious. Against the theoretical background regarding the discussions on magical realism in literary science, qualitative analyses of the two short stories ‘Akai yashi no ha’ (1992) and ‘Umukaji tō chiritei’ (1999) are conducted. The findings of these analyses show that the narrative mode of magical reali

Introduction. The article analyzes R. Schumann’s “Fantastic Pieces” op. 88 as a creative debut in the subsequent development of the piano trio genre. The “Fantastic Pieces” op. 88 are the first composer’s creative experience in combining such musical instruments. Theoretical Background. The analysis of musicological literature did not reveal any special research dedicated to this score, but only its references in E. Karelina’s (1996) thesis research and D.

The realistic depiction of Stalingrad’s contexts is primarily determined by patriotic interpretations of the city’s image that afford no satirical depreciation, while the Volgograd and Tsaritsyn texts may include some particular elements of the com

In this paper, we paid attention to Hwang Seok-young's fantasy narrative in Baridegi. The narrative of fantasy occurs in the situation of symbols, resonance, and identity, which functions to develop tragic reality more dramatically and spectacularly through fantasy. Through the divine and spiritual abilities inherited from grandmothers, it can be confirmed that the ability to face the dead and predict the future is the main driving force behind the fantasy narrative. This fantasy was dramatically revealed when confronted with the wounds of the dead souls and the moment when they met the spirit

In Zoshchenko’s early stories and short stories, Gogol’s traditions are felt clearly and many of their points of convergence are revealed: the image of the “little man”, the fantastic manner, the specifics of the plot, the motivational and plot roll calls, the nature of the comic. It is worth noting that in the context of literary work, color carries an important semantic load, and the coloristic art of Zoshchenko and Gogol is also close to each other in symbolic complexity. So, in this article, we will try to analyze the uniqueness of the color palette of writers.
