Abstract:
The paper observes the artistic features of the fantasy novel Twilight Birds (Alacakaranlık Kuşları, 2005) by the famous contemporary Turkish writer Gülten Dayioğlu. The study aims to prove that the novel, in terms of its artistic and aesthetic attributes, belongs to a subgenre of science fiction, alternative history, which is new to Turkish literature. The following objectives were pursued: to characterise Turkish fiction literature in 1990–2000 (classification of genres, genre features, representatives of each genre), to outline the main stages in the study of Turkish fiction by national res

Abstract:
Don DeLillo’s Libra is often considered a postmodernist rendition of history, but there exist temporal distortions in his fiction that must be parsed into the subjunctive mood instead of the simple past tense. The fictive transformation from the temporal tense to the mood of potentiality underlies DeLillo’s fictionalization of history that attempts to problematize the ironclad facts. This would to power manifests the point that fiction is a poetic and emotive alternative to actualized reality. What is Real to fiction lies in its virtual reality.

Abstract:
The form of the novel is a historical record based on the fact that it is a reflection of the records of the past. Efforts to recreate the lifestyle of the ancestors through creation by gathering historical information from various fields such as archeology have increased in recent times. When the information thus collected becomes fiction, it becomes fiction or a program of historical events at the discretion of the creator. Novels written in a historical setting can be divided into two categories: direct historical novels and novels that prioritize history and fiction. Novels like Su Venkate

Abstract:
Abstract In an epoch of revival of the historical novel, Arabic literature tries to provide its own response to the construction of al-tārīkh al-badīl, namely “alternative history” or, also, allohistory which, as a literary genre, was originally a branch of science fiction. By proposing the idea of a counter-narration, the search for historical alternatives becomes a matter of great importance and responsibility. What happens if the writer tries to construct an alternative point of view, a counter-narration in which “History” is transformed into an almost fictional story? Far from an act of be

Abstract:
This essay provides an analysis of the novel When Nietzsche Wept written by Irvin D. Yalom. The novel takes place during the late eighteen hundred century in Vienna and throughout this essay I explore how Yalom has created a setting, where he has placed some of most prominent philosophers of this time in his fictional world in order to educate the reader about the birth of psychoanalysis and give an alternative version to how it emerged. I argue that Yalom manages to implement different original theories in connection to psychoanalysis to show how the ideas circulating at that point in history

Inspired by 2009 pastiche Inglourious Basterds (US/DE), my research presents counterfactual historical film, firstly, as a marginalised type of film: the 2000s and 2010s have seen an abundance of overtly fictional films which do not intend to represent the past but nonetheless playfully refer to imageries of National Socialist and Holocaust history. These films have so far been neglected by historical film studies which, despite a consensus not to judge films according to their factual accuracy, tend to focus on genres close to historiography.

Abstract:
AbstractCounterfactual history constitutes a prominent subgenre of speculative fiction. Nevertheless, though diverging from actual historical events, such works tend to otherwise be highly realistic. Other speculative fiction goes much further, creating not only an alternative timeline but an alternate reality governed by different physical laws. This chapter coins the term “counterphysical” to describe literature that plays with the very laws of physics or nature, but remains within a rules-based, science-inspired paradigm. Examining two counterphysical stories by Ted Chiang, “Seventy-Two Letters” (2000) and “Omphalos” (2019), it argues that such works can serve as a useful tool for teaching the history of science. Counterphysical fiction can help train students to suspend their present-day understanding of science in order to comprehend the worldview and mindset of historical scientists.

Abstract:
All through the last decade, the Brazilian pipeline industry has invested heavily in controlling long pipeline’s inventory, leak detection systems and in energy efficiency, the latter being object of study of this paper. A sensitive area to such investments can be perceived in the efforts made to control the energy supply to pumping stations. Nevertheless, one can clearly observe the weight of tradition pending over Brazilian projects resulting in a tendency toward the use of control valves as means of pump controlling. This solution is generally believed to be simpler, more reliable and less
