Abstract:

In this article I question the assumption that all place-names in theMu T'ien-tzu chuanrefer to real places. I suggest instead a mythic origin for many of these seemingly referential elements. By analyzing a complex of myths either referred to or alluded to in the text, I show that several crucial place-names come in fact from cosmological referents rather than geographical ones. TheMu T'ien-tzu chuancannot then be read purely as a historical account. I extend this argument by revealing how the elements of cosmological myth in the narrative must themselves be read as elements of symbolic disco

Abstract:

The article is devoted to the issue of myth-making in postmodern literature. A new mythology is regarded as a philosophical and literary phenomenon, and is also analyzed from the point of view of cognitive linguistics. The main sources of mythology and trends in myth-making in modern fiction are also defined. The purpose of the study is to identify linguistic ways of representing myth-making as an innovative cognitive practice of British postmodern poets. Modern myth-making is a complex philosophical phenomenon that becomes a source of pseudo-reality and at the same time constantly refers to o

Abstract:

A curiously distinctive American product, Western is a genre of fiction which has enjoyed considerable popularity in and outside its birth place. Often considered as a prime example of popular culture, the Western nevertheless has withstood the test of time and continues to capture the imagination of both creative artists as well as the readers. The Western characters and tropes are instantly recognizable often owing to their steadfast loyalty to their generic preoccupations.

Abstract:

The two film versions of Invaders from Mars provide crucial insight into the historical trajectory of suburbanization in the United States. Beneath its surface confidence in the postwar suburban project as a geographical resolution of abiding class conflict, the first film, released in 1953 during escalating Cold War preparedness, evinces deep-seated anxieties about the ethical implications of suburbia’s essential dependence upon militarist power. The remake, released in 1986 at the height of Ronald Reagan’s reinvigoration of the military-industrial foundations of suburban life, offers a point

Barthélemy Aneau’s histoire fabuleuse, Alector ou le coq (1560) epitomizes a burgeoning sixteenth-century awareness of the globe and its scope. New possibilities for envisioning global space went hand in hand with the development of cosmopolitan sympathies among Renaissance humanists; namely, enthusiasm for the ideal of a world republic. In this article, I show how Aneau’s fictional narrative demonstrates an idealized vision of the French monarch’s global role. I argue that Alector is written in the spirit of the princely manual, with a singular emphasis on the monarch’s obligatory mastery of

Abstract:

Science fiction includes such a wide range and subgenres that it is notoriously difficult to define.

Abstract:

SF functions in contemporary life as a form of myth creation. Myth has a gnoseological function for archaic societies; it creates a whole world-picture by complementing accumulated empirical knowledge with analogies drawn from familiar experience. Thus world-models are structurally similar to myths, combining cognition and fiction. All writing that explains scientific knowledge at the level of popular consciousness also works in this manner; in the figures of sf, it overtly resembles myth creation.

Abstract:

Realism lingered quite long in Turkish literature. From the 1900s onwards, realism and naturalism were prominent movements. If the often-despised detective novels are put aside, there was hardly any room for the extraordinary in fiction. During the socialist realism era, realism almost became the sole movement and was strong until the 1950s. Despite the appearance of the first modern literature from that time on, it kept its prominent position until the 1970s. What realism skillfully pushed outside the literature were the supernatural, the magic, the extraordinary, the mythical, and the fairy-

Abstract:

This article introduces readers to the fiction by Moyshe Levin, a member of the Yiddish literary and artistic group Yung Vilne (Young Vilna). I argue that Levin challenged sentimental myths of Vilna as a centre of Yiddish culture by crafting naturalist fiction and reportage focused on the struggles of Vilna’s Jewish underclass and workers. In doing so, he developed a fictional universe that was directly engaged with and explored the social and political challenges of local Jewish life in the 1930s.

Abstract:

This article offers a working model for analyzing Third World (or non-Western) science fiction. It examines specific works of Brazilian sf published during a limited time period, dividing them into discrete generations or eras based on historical events, then analyzing them in conjunction with a variety of Brazilian cultural myths. Each period requires a specific critical approach. While Brazilian texts of the 1960s transform traditional sf icons, demonstrating an idealization of Brazilian identity and cultural myths, the dystopian and fantastic literature of the 1970s does the same in its pol

The paper considers key dominants and the formation of the artistic method of S.D. Krzhizhanovsky and M.A. Bulgakov in the 1920-1930s. They were formed in a common historical and cultural context for the two writers. The artistic method of Krzhizhanovsky and Bulgakov can be defined as fantastic realism bordering on modernist experimentalism in the field of genres and mythopoetics. The fiction world of texts by Sigizmund Krzhizhanovsky and Mikhail Bulgakov, in which the space of the deepest philosophical insights borders on the theatrical space of buffoonery, is the world of creation of the new

Abstract:

Distinguishing myths in terms of their veracity had almost been neglected in Plato’s studies. In this article, the author focuses on Plato’s controversial claims about the truth-status of myths. An attempt is made to elucidate what he really had in mind when assessing the veracity of myths. The author claims that Plato, while discussing the epistemic status of myths, actually distinguished three kinds of myths in regard to what they narrate. Additionally, it is argued that he endorses three different kinds of truth value for myths: they can be either true or false, probable, or factually false

The multifaceted idea of the north is deeply embedded in literary and visual culture. This culturally forged and globally disseminated idea embraces the narratives of fear, as well elements of the supernatural and fantastic, political dimensions or specific topographies. By departing from the Nordic Noir subgenre, a globally dispersed literary genre, this article investigates how the depiction of local and global place creates an imaginary, which is in turn bound up with a broader notion of the north as an ostensible “elsewhere.” The article argues that the Nordic Noir’s foreign allure and ove
