Abstract:
Various modern fictions, building upon the skeptical premises of biblical scholars, have claimed that the gospels covered up the real story about Jesus. Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code is one recent, popular example. While conspiracy theories may seem peculiar to modern media, the gospels have their own versions of hidden secrets. For Mark, e.g., Roman discourse about crucifixion obscures two secret plots in Jesus’ passion, which the gospel reveals: the religious leaders’ conspiracy to dispatch Jesus and the hidden divine program to sacrifice Jesus. Mark unveils these secret plots by minimizing

Abstract:
One more time, a work featuring the grotesque figure of the vampire emerges from the shackles of the Middle Ages to top the list of recent fiction best sellers. Already being translated into thirty-five languages and having been purchased for two million dollars from its first time novelist even before its publication, The Historian (2005) by Elisabeth Kostova entraps its readers in a series of breath-taking events promising to unravel deeply hidden ancient secrets and crucial truths. This paper looks at these so-called deeply held secrets showing that through the genre of the fantastic, rathe

Abstract:
Focuses on how in Cuba race-marking was interrelated with surname-giving, also after the abolition of slavery. Through researching life histories on the local level in the Cienfuegos region, the author examines names of former slaves, finding that these were after abolition in notarial records often marked with the adjectives s.o.a., or "sin otro apellido" (without other surname, taking into account the Iberian double surname tradition). This, according to him, points to a stigmatization of these black citizens and related to their former status as possession, and is thus a racial marker, only

Abstract:
The article is focused on the study of the frame structure of the concept of secret based on English-language literary fiction. A concept is a mental representation of knowledge about a certain object, phenomenon, feature, or action. There are different types of knowledge representation structures: mental model, scheme, image, frame, scenario, gestalt. It is the frame that allows us to cognitively represent knowledge about the world. A frame is a structure of information used to represent a stereotypical situation, which is why this study focuses on the frame representation of the analyzed con

The article is devoted to the study of the problem of post-totalitarian trauma in modern Ukrainian literature, in particular in novels, which, thanks to their genre features, are able to depict not only phenomena, facts, but also broad contexts. The relevance of the research lies in the analysis of various human behavioral models caused by the activities of the totalitarian system, the so-called big changes that are finally reflected in the literary texts of modern authors as those who are ready to offer for articulation the silenced and hidden.

The face of terrorism is changing. Even the motivations do not remain the same as 10–20 years ago. Now, we are facing the emergence of a new category of an offensive gear unknown before. Intelligent networks, telecommunications infrastructure, security procedures and computer equipment once designed and expected to serve and protect people have become terrorist weapons. States and nations are currently almost powerless against this new and destructive phenomenon.

Abstract:
Recent science fiction has brought anthropomorphic robots from an imaginary far-future to contemporary spacetime. Employing semiotic concepts of semiosis, unpredictability and art as a modelling system, this study demonstrates how the artificial characters in four recent series have greater analogy with human behaviour than that of machines. Through Ricoeur’s notion of identity, this research frames the films’ narratives as typical literary and thought experiments with human identity.

Abstract:
This essay explores the ways Bram Stoker brings eighteenth-century affective gothic reading practices to bear on Victorian fiction’s investments in realism. By investigating modes of affective reading in Dracula, the essay develops a definition of ‘gothic realism’ to describe an affective experience of the real that gothic fiction offers in place of verisimilitude and representations of everyday life. Beginning by tracing the explicit and implicit histories of this term through both literary criticism and the gothic tradition, the essay turns to Dracula to discover an alternative definition of

Abstract:
Abstract: The role that confession plays in Nabokov's fiction remains poorly understood, though the same can be said for confessional fiction in general. Part of the problem lies in the slipperiness of the word "confession" itself, which is why this essay begins by defining confession as a performative speech act through which the speaking or writing subject seeks to form, reform, and transform herself, addressing herself to another who is called to act as a witness to this creative act of self(trans)formation—a process akin to Nabokov's own description of a poet (not a "loony") who "peels off

Drawing on the theoretical tenets of silence in the work of Pierre Macherey, Pierre Bourdieu, George Steiner, William Franke and Michel Foucault, this chapter examines how Ryan’s writing represents individual and community minor/major traumas, tensions, hidden secrets, shame, crises, violence and prejudice.

In imagined renditions of exceptional achievement in music, painting, or fiction, Pushkin, Tolstoy, and Nabokov enact their own high literary aspirations even as they allow for rivalries with lesser talents, for the blindness and hostility of various authorities, and for the urgency imparted by Russian belatedness vis-à-vis the West.

Gascoyne and Nin not only published fragments from their diaries in the 1930s but also exchanged their diary-writing between themselves, a practice that raises central questions about the diary as a private or public document. For Nin, the diary was something secret and hidden, as well as the repository of secrets, but it also had a public face for her: here the ‘intimacy of the diary’ (in Nin’s phrase) is rendered as a

Abstract:
This chapter analyses Hideo Yokoyama’s Six Four (2012), drawing on Clare Birchall’s theory of transparency and secrecy to complicate the classic understanding of crime fiction in terms of a progressive uncovering of the truth. For Pepper, Yokoyama’s novel evokes instead a world where transparency is only ever partial, where secrecy is used tactically or as a mode of resistance within bureaucratic units as they engage in territorial struggles against other units, and where the investigation inevitably leaves a residue of what is ‘unknowable’.
