Abstract:
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. Walton’s make-believe theory of fiction via Gregory Currie and Richard Wollheim to include a criterion of fictive intent, whereby a painting is fictional if it is intended to prompt an act of imagining in its viewer. 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

Abstract:
Works of fiction do things to us, and we do things because of works of fiction. When reading Hamlet, I mentally represent certain propositions about its characters and events, I want the story and its characters to go a certain way, and I emotionally respond to its goings-on. I might deem Hamlet a coward, I might wish that Hamlet stabbed Claudius when he had the chance, and I might feel sorrow at Ophelia’s senseless suicide. These fiction-directed mental states seem to resemble the propositional attitudes of belief, desire, and emotion, respectively — the everyday attitudes that represent and

Abstract:
On estime en général que, pour un spectateur, l'univers diégétique d'un film de fiction et la réalité matérielle du film lui-même sont plus ou moins incompatibles. Soit il fixe son attention sur la fiction, soit il se montre attentif au film lui-même (le montage, le cadrage, la photographie). De ce point de vue, la fiction la plus réussie est celle qui parvient le mieux à capter l'attention du spectateur, à détourner celui-ci du film en tant qu'artifice. Cependant, certaines descriptions de films remettent en cause ce principe d'incompatibilité en reconstruisant imaginairement le film lui-même

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

This thesis contains the results of my research between 1994 and 1998 into the uses of fictional autobiography in personal development. The topic arose out of my observation, both of my own experience and the experience of students attending my creative writing courses, that writing fictional autobiography as part of a writing apprenticeship not only enabled the development of writing skills and the finding of a writing 'voice', but often had a therapeutic effect on the writer's relationship with himor herself, and with his or her significant others.

The world of Byzantium is under-represented in historical fiction written in English, a fact that reflects a general negativity or even absence of Byzantium in the non-academic, cultural traditions of the Anglophone world.

I propose a new account of truth in fiction that better handles truth in impossible fictions than the standard Lewisean account. Lewis' solution makes use of possible worlds to capture truths unstated but implied by the fiction. In order to improve upon this account I categorize a number of impossible fictions by the difficulties they raise for any account of fictional truth and show that Lewis' account fails to handle several of them. By careful division of the fiction, one may construct a better account of truth in fiction which captures both the truths of possible fictions as well as the tr

This thesis aims at showing how pedagogical concerns are manifest in the writing of Iris Murdoch and A. S. Byatt. Through the portrayal of teacher and learner characters they explore the working of authority in relationships marked by power, seduction, admiration and love. As Murdoch‟s and Byatt's learners share a tendency to choose a person or a work of literature as a guiding master, who is invested with excessive power, the proximity of teachers' and authors' concerns becomes apparent. Both authors analyse writer and reader characters alongside the pedagogical figures, and their own writing
