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 a

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 di

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 t

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 alg

Abstract:

This essay will focus on a case study, a particular fictional game that has given rise to variants across both literature and film: the Hellraiser puzzle box. We focus on Clive Barker’s short story The Hellbound Heart and two films from the film franchise: the 1987 Hellraiser and its reboot, the 2022 Hellraiser, which fleshes out (pun intended) the mythos. In addition to discussing the overt horror genre framing and themes through the lenses of literary analysis and film studies, we also propose an analogy with the literary genre that most notably straddles the same nexus of body-puzzle-space,

The relationship between Ireland and the Gothic goes back to the early days of the genre, when the Sublime, as identified by the Irish philosopher Edmund Burke, became central to the aesthetic concepts which would abound in the articulation of the Gothic as a literary form. The “dark, desolate and stormy grandeur” of the perception of Ireland which was held by the English reading public in the late eighteenth century was readily adaptable for the use of the island as a kind of pre-Enlightenment wilderness which, when combined with its linguistic, religious and cultural “otherness”, provided a

Abstract: Sunjeev Sahota’s novel Ours Are the Streets tells the story of a young British Muslim man’s path to radicalization. It appears to be another fictional attempt to ‘get inside’ the terrorist mind. This essay argues, however, that the text dramatizes the pitfalls of empathic identification via a focalizing character whose mental state becomes unstable and his narrative increasingly unreliable. The protagonist’s uncontrolled Theory of Mind causes him to misrecognize others and their motives, even as he seeks solidarity. The reader too is led into an interpretative labyrinth which raises

In 2017 Professor of Literature John Farrell published The Varieties of Authorial Intention.

Hypertext fiction has its own complex relationship with the notion of intention. From earlier entanglement in post-structuralist approaches to network textuality and the potential for readers to evade authors via branching narratives, hypert

Abstract Vintilă Horia’s novel God was born in exile seems to be written from the perspective of a refusal of history, of an opening to imagination and esoterism, to the detriment of a positive valorisation of the facts of the immediate reality. Fiction is thus the one that legitimizes Ovid’s existential adventure, the one that certifies his resistance to an annihilated and aggressive History. In this novel, we are witnesses of a spiritual metamorphosis, of a spiritual catabathic itinerary, whereby the retransmission in the values of esotericism and self, as well as the understanding of the me

“Emma Zunz” exemplifies Borges’s particular use of literary devices, including extra-literary references and motifs that refer to the author’s earlier stories. Among those motifs the most central to “Emma Zunz” is the mirror.

Important as this consideration may be, its full impact and import cannot be harnessed if they are presented as works of fiction. The main aim of literature as work of fiction is to entertain.

Abstract:

Perhaps it is apt that people who knit and sew are drawn to solving puzzles, including fictional and actual crimes. The word clew is an archaic spelling of our modern-day clue. It is derived from the old English cliwen or cleowen, meaning a ball of thread. It may also be a nod to the ball of yarn that Theseus used to escape from the minotaur’s labyrinth in Greek legend. Without his clew, Theseus would have no clue how to escape the labyrinth. Its modern-day association with detective work first began with Edgar Allen Poe’s detective C. Auguste Dupin who followed ‘clues’ to solve his crimes and

Abstract:

This Research paper examines how Tolkien's novels, "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings," incorporate labyrinthine elements into their fictional worlds. In these literary works, events primarily unfold in open landscapes, but there are elements that evoke complex and dangerous mazes, where certain heroes assume roles similar to that of Theseus. Thus, this analysis explores the representations of the Labyrinth myth through Tolkien's writing, highlighting both the similarities and differences between these structures in the two contexts, while emphasizing the symbolism of the subterranean wor

Abstract:

Many of Murakami’s novels demonstrate his appropriation of the terminology, imagery and metaphor that are found in hardboiled detective fiction. The question of Haruki Murakami’s use of the tropes from hardboiled detective stories has been discussed by scholars such as Hantke (2007), Stretcher (2002) and Suter (2008), who argue that the writer uses these features as a way to organize his narratives and to pay homage to one of his literary heroes, Raymond Chandler. However, these arguments have not adequately addressed the fact that many of Murakami’s novels fit into the definition of the metap

Abstract:

Cervantes made of Don Quijote the “book of books” in its truest sense: the nobleman transformed into letter that is read and that one reads in its own graphic existence is one of the original inventions of the Cervantine escrivivir, subverting the thresholds that separate and unite literature and life. The labyrinth of metawriting that confronts characters (fictions of fictions) and people (fictions) in the narrative universe takes us back to the infinite chain of scribes of the world transformed into book, always a previous author's writing (Borges). Cervantes made a bookish defense of the ol
