Abstract:
In this paper, the author outlines a theory of the relationship of fictional, virtual and real elements in games. Not much critical attention has been paid to the concept of fiction when applied to games and game worlds, despite many books, articles and papers using the term, often in the title. Here, it is argued that game worlds and their objects are ontologically different from fictional worlds; they are empirically upheld by the game engine, rather than by our mind stimulated by verbal information. Game phenomena such as labyrinths, moreover, are evidence that games contain elements that are just as real as their equivalents outside the game, and far from equal to the fictional counterparts.

Abstract:
The article is devoted to the identification of the genesis, typology and characterization of the philosophical concept of chaos, discreteness, paradoxicity and rhizomorphism of being and their reflection in philosophy and postmodern fiction based on the works of J.L. Borges and U. Eco is about libraries embodied by foreign authors as rhizomorphic paradoxical labyrinths. The concept of rhizome is considered in the context of temporal chaos. In accordance with the basic principles of historical science, the issues of rhizomorphism of the labyrinth library in the context of time are revealed. The research methodology includes general scientific and special comparative methods. The comparative historical and descriptive approaches of the above sources are used. Examples of works by J.L. Borges and U. Eco in the concept of their description of the library as a rhizomorphic paradoxical labyrinth. The relevance of the article lies in the appeal to the analysis of the image of the library as a concept that initially symbolizes the storage of books, knowledge, embodying stability, logical orderliness, consistency. In the culture and art of postmodernism, this symbolism has been radically transformed, which is convincingly proved by the analysis of texts by J.L. Borges and U. Eco.

Abstract:
The article deals with aesthetic and stylistic particularities of the works by A. Robbe-Grillet and N. Sarraute, two famous writers and theorists of the “Nouveau Roman”. This literary movement continues to provoke debates about its interpretation and definitive assessment among foreign and national scientists, indicating the timeliness of the work. The research is based on their criticism and fiction published in the late 1950s – early 1960s. Analysing the literary context and the aesthetic views of the writers allows us to explain causes of their disagreements, to discover similarities and differences between their creative methods. Interpreting the works in the light of the image of labyrinth gives the opportunity to outline the main features of the poetics of Robbe-Grillet and Sarraute from a new angle. The use of metaphor is one of the characteristics that unites the literary practice of these authors. The concept of labyrinth has a number of philosophical and cultural senses, and its consideration is fruitful in order to study the individuality of the “nouveaux romanciers” literary world. The meaning of the image of labyrinth in the texts of “Dans le labyrinthe” and “Le Planétarium” is treated with comparative and hermeneutic methods, definitive and contextual analysis. The labyrinth defines the logic of creating the whole novel of Robbe-Grillet; it is involved in the description of interior and the image-bearing structure of Sarraute’s work. In addition, the metaphor is the basis of the stylistic manner of both authors, in spite of its different functioning in the considered works. As opposed to rudimentary and stereotypical story and characters, the metaphor in their texts serves to represent psychic activities of any person. Interpreting subconscious processes becomes the central content of the French writers’ works. The “nouveaux romanciers” assign to a reader a significant role in expounding their texts, that triggers self-knowledge, as well as philosophical reflections. The study may be of interest for experts in philology, science of culture and philosophy. Keywords: “Nouveau Roman”, metaphor, subconscious, image, interpretation, story, character

Abstract:
Memory and rememoration were crucial for the (re)construction of postcolonial identities in the heyday of historical and cultural retrieval in earlier postcolonial literature. With the gradual change of focus towards considerations of identity construction in neocolonial societies, the importance of rememoration faded while memory continues to haunt characters in contemporary postcolonial fiction, as Caryl Phillips’s writing illustrates. His protagonists retrace memories of past lives, seeking refuge from loss, exile and marginalization, risking permanent entrapment in the labyrinths of past traumas. Although withdrawal into memory prevents some of them from adapting to their surroundings, memory in Phillips’s work as a whole serves as a meeting point for pogrom survivors. It is a polyphonic, heterotopian, heterogeneous imaginary community to which the uprooted figures of his novels belong. The aim of this article is to examine the function of memory in Phillips’s vision, arguing that the established space of memory is designed to mend the rift between value-infested polarities.

Abstract:
Physics, the grand narrative of the universe, has long been viewed as a realm of cold, hard equations. But what if we looked beyond the formulas and considered a more imaginative origin for some of its concepts? This article explores the intriguing possibility that physics, and even cosmology, might share a surprising kinship with metaheuristics and fantastical fiction. Metaheuristics, a branch of computer science, deals with finding approximate solutions to complex problems. Perhaps the universe, in its vastness, employs a set of "rules" that lead to the most likely outcomes, much like an algorithm searching for the best solution within a vast space of possibilities. The connection strengthens when we consider the fantastical. Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges, known for his thought-provoking short stories, often explored themes of infinity, labyrinths, and forking realities. In this article, we discuss, among other things, how to look at physics laws from an alternative fundamental viewpoint that is fluid dynamics perspective. As an example, we provide an outline for deriving the Newton gravitational law from the Kutta-Joukowski theorem, and then deriving the Kutta-Joukowski theorem from Bernoulli principles. In the meantime, it is known that vortex flows, related to solar convective turbulent dynamics at granular scales and their interplay with magnetic fields within intergranular lanes, occur abundantly on the solar surface and in the atmosphere above.

Abstract:
This study initially engages in an historical survey of the varying key realisations of labyrinths and their applications from antiquity through to the beginnings of the twentieth century. The shifting cultural significance of the labyrinth and its deployment in historical documents and literature alike is also evaluated. In particular, it focuses on two distinctive manifestations of the labyrinth: the Egyptian and the Cretan. The examination of these ancient artefacts affords an analysis of the intersection of archaeology, mythology and cultural productions. At the core of this study is the analysis of the fecundity of labyrinths in late twentieth-century fiction, focalised through four salient texts: Umberto Eco's The Name of the Rose (1980), Peter Ackroyd's Hawksmoor (1985), Jeanette Winterson's The Passion (1987) and Mark Z. Danielewski's House of Leaves (2000). These novels target specific usages of the trope, whereby the physical event of the labyrinth and its navigation, coupled with the labyrinthine text, intensifies an exploration of thematic issues. I will argue that a late twentieth-century engagement with complexity and ideas of selfhood coupled with a propensity for self-reflective narratology recalls the Egyptian and the Cretan labyrinths and so privileges these models. The labyrinth is considered as an appropriate medium to describe narrative construction and consumption in a manner that deconstructs the text as artifice and prioritises the reader's and the author's relationship to it. Specifically, the adoption of the labyrinth addresses the interplay between space and history in the textual arena and so encourages the individual to be envisaged as a transhistorical wandering figure. These textual usages foreground the apposite deployment of the labyrinth as this ancient meta-signifier is an entirely apposite vehicle for the interrogation of the late twentieth-century postmodern condition.

Abstract:
This thesis is an investigation of the journeys towards a sense of identity or selfhood, achieved through honest and accurate appreciation of the lives of others, made by several female characters in the fiction of A.S. Byatt and the late Iris Murdoch. I believe that because Byatt and Murdoch value literature as a serious business that teaches as well as entertains, their writing can play a significant role in illuminating the lives of women by means of its portrayal of the resolution of women’s struggles. Women’s lives, despite the rise of feminism, are still not equitable. While many women strive to attain a balance of independence and intimacy – what Thelma Shinn calls a “meronymic” relationship – and connection within community, many do not succeed in this endeavour. The numerous challenges they face are difficult and confronting, and the stories of their efforts resemble journeys through a labyrinth or maze. Byatt acknowledges Murdoch as her literary mother, frequently citing Murdoch’s belief in the ability of literature to improve human life. While Byatt and Murdoch are interested in what characters learn about their relations to others and the world, they make it clear that characters are constructs, not real people. Yet their fiction is an ongoing exploration of the nature of reality and the nature of selfhood, particularly that of women. According to feminist theories, women are more constrained than men, and are therefore the focus of this study, but their experience of constraint is a more complex matter than experience of mere undifferentiated oppression, and is better represented by the structure of the labyrinth than that of the simple, linear journey. I agree with Byatt’s and Murdoch’s view of the importance of fiction as a means of commenting on human relationships, particularly with the notion of the need for connection within community. The labyrinth, together with the Bildungsroman, provides a paradigm for the complex experiences of Byatt’s and Murdoch’s female characters. All the characters in this study struggle to flee from restraint, seek purpose and agency in the world through interaction with others, and escape a feminised Plato’s Cave by learning to see more accurately, and all but one emerge from the maze into an autonomous and independent existence in community with others.

Abstract:
Les fictions de j. Cortazar et de v. Nabokov sont des fictions labyrinthiques. D'une part, car elles emploient des procedes de ruptures et de codages qui brisent l'unite diegetique tout en exhibant la litterarite et privilegient une << texture >>, autrement dit, une unite de nature analogique et poetique. Complexifiant ainsi l'espace narratif, elles font du parcours du lecteur un veritable dedale, reclamant de la part de ce dernier un travail d'actualisation* important, qu'il semble effectuer sous leur controle. La figure du labyrinthe est egalement presente dans les univers diegetiques, puisqu'elle sert a caracteriser l'espace et surtout, a traduire une vision problematique du reel - inaccessi♭ ble ou trompeur -, reproduisant ainsi en abyme la problematique posee par la fiction labyrinthique : celle des rapports entre fiction et realite. La souplesse de la figure, alliee a la << flexibilite >> du mythe, autorise les deux auteurs a donner des reponses contras♭ tees : la fiction labyrinthique nabokovienne nous indique que la seule realite accessible est celle, subjective, de la conscience, tandis que la fiction cortazarienne est en quete d'une surrealite. Chez le premier, la fiction << epuise >> le repertoire referentiel pour in♭ carner ainsi une nouvelle realite a la mesure du sujet. Chez le second, la fiction devient un lieu d'experience du reel, accueilli sous sa forme brute, qui doit permettre une con♭ quete et une transformation de la realite, hors des frontieres de l'uvre. Si la fiction labyrinthique pose la meme question, sa nature meme permet toutes les reponses.

Abstract:

The labyrinth is a powerful image, turning up throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries in modernist, high modernist, postmodern, experimental, and digital fictions. Some authors taking up the image of the labyrinth in the latter half of the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-first consider it more than a mere metaphor or a setting before which plots and characters unfold; it offers instead a poetics, a way to discover, explore, and conquer labyrinths constructed of the experiences of everyday life—the city, the home, the library, the computer, the mind, even the book itself. Throughout this thesis I examine a small selection of their fictions—Michael Ayrton's The Maze Maker, Alain Robbe-Grillet's In the Labyrinth, Mark Z. Danielewski's House of Leaves, Umberto Eco's The Name of the Rose, Shelley Jackson's Patchwork Girl, Steve Tomasula's TOC, and selections by Jorge Luis Borges and Ovid—each of whom deploys the labyrinth simultaneously in the diegesis and discourse of their texts in order to discover the shifting boundaries of the page and narrative form. Non-sequential narrative techniques in the spatial, formal, linguistic, and typological structures of these fictions implicitly propose the labyrinth as a model for the unique complexities of writing and reading in the modern world, one that in fact demonstrates the very labyrinth that it describes.

McRobert, Neil. "The new labyrinth : reading, writing and textuality in contemporary Gothic fiction." Thesis, University of Stirling, 2013. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.605851.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis examines the forms and functions of self-consciousness in contemporary Gothic fiction. Though self-consciousness is an often-mentioned characteristic of Gothic writing, it has yet to be explored in sufficient depth. In particular, critics have failed to recognise the manner in which the myriad forms of textual and generic self-reflexivity at work contribute to the fiction’s fearful agenda: how self-consciousness in the Gothic is itself Gothicised. This thesis argues that, rather than being an ancillary quirk of generic coherence or an indication of creative exhaustion, self-consciousness has become an integral part of the genre’s terroristic project, a new source and representational mode of terror. In the wake of postmodern and post-structural theory, the genre’s longstanding interest in reading, writing and textuality has been renewed, re-contextualised and redeployed as a key feature of the Gothic ‘effect’. My original contribution to knowledge is a charting of the intersections between the Gothic and this critical perspective on the text. In particular I explore how the Barthesian reorientation of the text is redeployed in Gothic fiction as a source of terror. Rather than pursuing an author-centric division of chapters I have organised the thesis around types of self-conscious commentary that occur throughout the contemporary Gothic. These are: a focus on the process of writing and textual composition; the internalisation and Gothicised representation of critical theory; an acute awareness and meta-commentary on the critical and commercial contexts of Gothic; and intertextuality. Key texts include Stephen King’s Misery (1987), Mark Danielewski’s House of Leaves (2000), Chuck Palahniuk’s Haunted (2005), A.N. Wilson’s A Jealous Ghost (2005), R. M. Berry’s Frank (2005) and Peter Ackroyd’s The Casebook of Victor Frankenstein (2008). This selection of texts is representative of a varied but coherent inward turn in the Gothic fiction of recent decades. It is, however, by no means exhaustive and supplementary evidence will be provided from additional texts. Equally, it is important to contextualise this contemporary turn in relation to an established vein of self-consciousness in the Gothic, present since its inception. As such, my approach is firstly to trace a lineage of reflexivity and to draw upon that tradition in demonstrating how contemporary Gothic writers have honed this technique to a uniquely terrifying purpose.

Abstract:
This essay examines the narrative aspect of interactive fiction. The study uses Janet H. Murrays analysis of the digital environment and the properties of it as procedural, participatory, spatial and encyclopedic. From this, her three characteristic pleasures in digital narratives - immersion, agency and transformation - are examined from the perspective of interactive fiction. The study also examines Nick Montforts analysis of interactive fiction as a potential narrative and a simulated world or environment. His comparison of interactive fiction with the literary riddle is also used in regards to puzzles and other game-related aspects in interactive fiction as a part of storytelling. Furthermore, the essay uses Espen J. Aarseths analysis on ergodic text and non-linearity to place interactive fiction in a tradition of participatory texts not necessarily bound to the computer. The essay show how the repeated and sudden nature of death in interactive fiction poses a potential problem in its aspiration to create a cohesive storytelling experience. Death can however be used as an aid in other narrative aspirations, such as humour. Furthermore, the participatory aspect of interactive fiction can create a meaningful and strong emotional response to the death of non-player characters. The essay also show how interactive fiction may use puzzles and other challenges as a method to create suspense and drama. The quality of interactive fiction as a simulated world enables it to create mazes and related experiences based on spatial navigation. Especially it underlines its capacity to in this manner portrait abstract concepts such as bureaucracy in a convincing and literal way. Finally the essay proposes that interactive fiction can be viewed as a bridge between traditional literary texts and the new digital texts of computer based entertainment. The essay therefore suggests that interactive fiction, with its expressed literary ambitions, is especially qualified as a starting point for understanding computer games as a capable storytelling tool. Further studies on interactive fiction may help reach a deeper understanding of the narrative qualities of computer games.

Abstract:
Esta pesquisa propõe o conceito de \"cidade fictiva\", entendida como a cidade que nasce especificamente da construção estética literária. Tal conceito permite descobrir os alicerces da cidade na literatura a partir dos primeiros textos de criação literária do Ocidente (Enuma Elish, Epopéia de Gilgamesh), para detectar suas principais características e examinar omo estas constituem elementos de construção em contos contemporâneos rasileiros, chilenos e portugueses nos quais se percebe uma idéia de \"conto citadino\". O estudo da cidade fictiva estabelece alguns paradigmas observados em diversos textos, como: La Ciudad está Triste, do escritor chileno Ramón Díaz Etérovic; \"Timotu Kalu\", de Orígenes Lessa; \"Passeio Noturno I e II\", de Rubem Fonseca; e \"A tua véspera de Natal\", do escritor português David Mourão-Ferreira. Junto a esses paradigmas são estabelecidos alguns mundos possíveis da cidade fictiva, surgidos da análise comparativa entre os contos: \"Amor\", de Clarice Lispector, e \"La Elegida\", da chilena Lilian Elphick; \"Una señora\", do chileno José Donoso, e \"Sem Remédio\", de Luiz Ruffato; \"Busca\", de João Antônio, e \"A Bota\", do português José Rodrigues Miguéis.
This research paper puts forward the concept of \"fictive city\", understood as the city that is born specifically of literary aesthetic construction. This concept enables one to discover the foundations of the city in literature as from the earliest texts of literary creation in the West (Enuma Elish, the Gilgamesh Epic), in order to detect their main characteristics and examine how these constitute building blocks of contemporary Brazilian, Chilean and Portuguese tales in which an idea of \"tale from the city\" can be perceived. The study of the fictive city sets out certain paradigms, found in a number of different texts, such as La Ciudad está Triste, by Chilean author Ramón Díaz Etérovic, \"Timotu Kalu\", by Origenes Lessa, \"Passeio Noturno I e II\", by Rubem Fonseca, and \"A tua véspera de Natal\", by Portuguese author David Mourão-Ferreira. In addition to these paradigms, certain possible worlds of the fictive city are established, taken from a comparative analysis of the tales: \"Amor\", by Clarice Lispector, and \"La Elegida\", by Chilean Lilian Elphick; \"Una señora\", by Chilean José Donoso, and \"Sem Remédio\", by Luiz Ruffato; \"Busca\", by João Antônio and \"A Bota\", by Portuguese José Rodrigues Miguéis.
