Abstract:

This paper makes the claim that despite the culture-page and scholar classes' favorable reception of just about everything she offers, Bengali-American writer Jhumpa Lahiri thinks meanly of them and of their progressive mindsets. Telling in the second's regard are her counter-normative usages of their favored tropes--of, for example, the madwoman-in-the-attic trope. Telling in the first's regard are the literary academics who appear in her fictions. Nine for nine, they are shallow, feckless, and bullying sorts. Yes, literary academics--they are the people Jhumpa Lahiri little likes. In its lat

Abstract:

The existence of fan fiction nowadays shows more progressive development especially in this digital era when people does not only use internet for communicating and socializing across time and space but they also show their creativity, one of them is by writing a fan fiction. By writing fan fiction in online platforms, people get the opportunity to express their interests and their identities. This opportunity is also obtained by minority groups such as LGBTQ+ where they can express their identity through fan fiction.

Abstract:

‘Real person fiction’ (RPF) is a subset of fanfiction that has gone largely unnoticed by academics. A handful of articles have argued for the justification of stories about real (living) people as a legitimate and morally sound art form, but only a very few studies have begun to consider RPF as a genre with its own aesthetics and conventions. This article argues that, to understand fannish RPF, we need to incorporate tools developed by scholars of digital fiction. Almost all fanfic is now produced for and on digital platforms, and moreover, the natural fit between RPF specifically and the stud

Abstract:

Abstract How can we be moved by the fate of Anna Karenina? By asking this question, Colin Radford introduced the paradox of fiction, or the problem that we are often emotionally moved by characters and events which we know don’t really exist (1975). A puzzling element of these emotions that always resurfaced within discussions on the paradox is the fact that, although these emotions feel real to the people who have them, their difference from ›real‹ emotions is that they cannot motivate us to perform any actions. The idea that actions towards fictional particulars are impossible still underlie

Abstract:

In recent years, many science fictions have been published, such as The Three-body Problem, The Wandering Earth, and so on. The number of people who are interested in science fiction is increasing. Meanwhile, the translation of science fiction has become more important. The Linguistic Worldview proposed by Humboldt is of great importance to the translation of science fiction. This thesis is based on Linguistic Worldview. It analyzes The Three-body Problem (English version) and the importance of such theory to the translation of science fiction.

In 1999 novelist Breda Smolnikar was sued for defamation in her novel Ko se tam gori olistajo breze (When the Birches Up There Are Greening) by certain family Nakrst. Smolnikar received broad public support. In public defence different arguments were in play, the most frequent were trying to prove that the novel does not speak about the family Nakrst because (a) all literature is fiction and all literary characters are fictional beings; (b) similarity between literary character and a real person is always a coincidence; (c) all literature is a possible world and refers to people’s counte

Abstract:

This article is intended to stimulate debate regarding recent calls for fictional representations to be used within the sociology of sport. Based on the notion of “being there,” it differentiates between ethnographic fiction and creative fiction. Examples of the former are provided, and their grounding in the tradition of creative nonfiction is established. Moves toward the use of creative fiction are then considered in relation to the willingness of authors to invent people, places, and events in the service of producing an illuminative and evocative story. The issue of purpose is highlighted

Abstract:

Abstract What do players of videogames mean when they say they want to shoot zombies? Surely they know that the zombies are not real, and that they cannot really shoot them, but only control a fictional character who does so. Some philosophers of fiction argue that we need the concept of imaginative desires (or ‘i-desires’) to explain situations in which people feel desires towards fictional characters or desires that motivate pretend actions. Others claim that we can explain these situations without complicating human psychology with a novel mental state. Within their debates, however, these

Abstract:

Fiction books are learning media that can be used to introduce various experiences about other people's views and emotions to preschoolers through story characters. At preschool age, children already have a need to interact with other people, especially with their peers. Children's understanding of the desires and feelings of other people known as theory of mind (ToM) helps them to be more accepted and adjust when playing with their friends. The effect of fiction books on the ToM development of preschoolers was tested through experimental research on 44 (forty four) preschoolers (23 boys and 2

The stories in this collection are largely centered around individuals who have or on the brink of mistakes (or what they perceive as mistakes). These characters navigate their respective worlds with a combination of cynicism and vulnerability that often forces them to reexamine their relationships with family members, friends, and lovers. I am interested in how humor can potentially steer a narrative in unforeseeable directions while exposing to the reader truths about the characters that they themselves might not realize.<br>Master of Fine Arts

The components of this thesis both practice and propose writing as research and develop a concept of character that is ‘relational’. Taking Donald Barthelme’s assertion, ‘Writing is a process of dealing with not-knowing, a forcing of what and how,’ this thesis is attentive to the uncertainty of process: a process that has accreted knowledge in the form of characters and methods.

Abstract:

This thesis argues that novels depicting characters who exist outside of the social order have become integral to a twenty-first century corpus of British fiction for children and adolescents. This, in part, is as a result of a changing socio-political landscape in Britain post-2000 in which discussions of who does and does not ‘belong’ are becoming increasingly amplified. It will be shown that, against such a backdrop, fiction for young people written between 2001 and 2012 works to counter and challenge mainstream discourses prevalent in, for example; the media. With this in mind, this study’

In contemporary Russian literature, there is a specific type of genre literature about so-called “podadants”, which is the Russian word for heroes and heroines traveling to other worlds and other times. In addition to this basic motif, this is literature published in mass quantities, usually within special genre editions, which also uses elements of other fantastic genres. One of its branches, working with alternative history, often has a very nationalistic or revanchist subtext. Overall, the “podadants” genre is a complex literary and social phenomenon that cannot be grasped from just one sid
