Nous nous intéressons à la scénarisation télévisuelle de fiction depuis plusieurs années. À regarder les téléromans, les mini-séries et les dramatiques que les différentes chaînes francophones nous proposent, nous en sommes venu à nous demander si l'écriture télévisuelle de fiction est spécifique à ce médium et, si oui, quelles en seraient les caractéristiques? Suite à nos lectures, nous avons constaté qu'aucun chercheur au Québec ne s'était penché d'une façon sérieuse sur cette forme d'écriture (visuelle).

Abstract:
In his 2008 book, American Hungers: The Problem of Poverty in U.S. Literature, 1840-1945, Gavin Jones calls for academic studies of literature that examine poverty as its own actuality, worthy of discussion and definition despite its inherently polemical nature. As presented by Jones and tested here, American literature reveals how poverty is established, defined and understood; the anxieties of class; imperative connections with issues of gender and race; and the fictions of American democracy and the American Dream. This proves to be especially interesting when examining the 1890s. From

Abstract:
Fictional characters are awkward creatures. They are described as being girls, wizards and detectives, as being famous, based on real people, and well developed, and as being paradigmatic examples of things that don't exist. It's not hard to see that there are tensions between these various descriptions - how can something that is a detective not exist? - and there is a range of views designed to make sense of the pre-theoretical data. Proponents of some views are fictional realists, who hold that we should accept that fictional characters are part of 'the furniture of our world'. Others are f

The representation of mental health disorders and syndromes has increased in contemporary literature, film and television. Characters with disorders and syndromes such as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, autism and Asperger’s syndrome, Tourette’s syndrome, and dissociative identity disorder are common, leading to an increased critical engagement with these fictional texts.

But it is the completely innocent protagonist who is perceived as the abuser. The novel quite deliberately has the feel of a crime story although the only serious crime is off-the-page and not connected with any of the characters or locations. This is intentional.

Short stories follows five different characters as they attempt to develop their earliest artistic impulses. Through the use of young protagonists, these stories demonstrate the ways in which our earliest experiences with loss and trauma often create a space for imaginative discovery; the collection reveals that it is the uniqueness of this space, this blend of premature emotional depth and naïve whimsy, that opens up new psychological possibilities for the child-artist. Meant to be read as a collection of intimate character sketches, these stories reveal the artist's intensely visual approach

This fiction collection attempts to convey the essence of Oregon's landscape, nature, and people. Many of these pieces reflect violent behavior, which is sometimes directed from one character to another, and sometimes directed toward nature. Sometimes this violence is mild, sometimes it is horrific. But the reasons for the violence and any connection it has to the landscape, nature, and people of Oregon is left to the reader to decide. The focus of this collection is not to teach lessons--it is to entertain.

Abstract:
A No-Object theory of fiction denies that there is any sense of “object” in which the objects of fiction are objects at all. This is conjunction of two fundamental assumptions. The first is a metaphysical principle that asserts that there is nothing that does not exist. The second asserts that the individuals and events that figure in works of fiction do not exist. I call these assumptions “Parmenides’ Rule” and the “Non-Existence Postulate”. The No-Object theory also raises what I call the subject-matter paradox.

This practice-led research project investigates the potential for a philosophically defined and criterial notion of fiction to function within the medium of painting. It develops Kendall L.

Although painting has not art-historically distinguished between fiction and non-fiction, the research demonstrates the intuitive usefulness of such a classification. The research then ar
