Abstract:

Literary works are considered the result of human reflection on the realist world. However, some literary works contain not only realist but also topics of magic, such as in the short story (cerkak) titled Kerisku Kasangsaranmu by Suparto Brata in the book Trem Anthology of Crita Cekak (2000). This study uses the theory of magical realism to uncover the magical nature of a realist literature. This theory is defined as an understanding that presents magical or irrational things that live in modern literary works. This study focuses on analyzing the characteristics and determining the level of m

Abstract:

This article adopts a literary analytical approach to illuminate the use of magical realism in the contemporary Anglophone Arab narrative of Leila Aboulela’s Bird Summons (2019). The study follows a methodology which combines two critical approaches to magical realism: first, a textual approach, and then a contextual one. Accordingly, the study uses key magical realist elements in Bird Summons to delineate the poetics of magical realism within the narrative, before determining the context in which magical realism functions in the narrative. Simultaneously, the study benefits from Christopher W

Abstract:

The article outlines the vectors of methodological research of magical realism and identifies the differential features of this literary phenomenon in the theoretical discourse of German literary criticism. The author of the article focuses on the ambivalence of German magical realism, caused by the combination in magical realist texts of two inherently opposite ways of depicting reality – realistic and irreal. In magical realist texts, the magical appeal of reality is emphasized, when the objects of reality only hint at the existence of another world beyond it, acquiring a numinous aureole in

Abstract:

Aristotle accentuates the significance of a lifelike depiction in drama and poetry. As a result, realistic art and literature display hostility to creativity and inventiveness beyond the limits of what is believable and plausible. Apart from true to life portrayals, no description is allowed. This is the reason why factions and groups characterised by nontraditional artistic methods emerge in contrast to the teachings of traditional realism. Their original ideas, styles, and techniques stand as opposed to the elements of canonical formation. As a literary mode, magical realism questions the au

This paper seeks to demonstrate the potential to describe complex realities by developing our reading of traditional forms of literary genres, such as magical realism, to coincide with developments of identity politics. Moreover, ignored and suppressed voices cannot be acknowledged solely with a subscription to literary realism without recognising its complicity in the suppression of marginalised and intersectional voices. Hence, magic, which inherently defies the rules of realism, can reveal the fiction of dominant discourse and construct accurate narratives of complex intersectional narrativ

Abstract:

Magical realism is a literary genre that offers possibilities as a posthumanist narrative research project. Magical realism employs literary tools such as a nonlinear aspect of time, a subjective sense of causality, and a conflation of the magical and the ordinary. Such tools offer possibilities in narrative research to create ontological sense-events that exist within assemblages that entangle the reader, the narrator, the place, the writer, and the participants temporally, spatially, and sensually within a flattened event.

Abstract:

Whilst the theoretical study of magical realist literature is broad and wide-ranging, there is a remarkable lack of consensus among critics on how the mode should be defined, how its techniques should be described, and how it corresponds with both the contexts of its production and its contemporary neighboring genres. This essay maps some of the dominant avenues that have been explored in the field, illuminating where the disagreements lie and highlighting the sheer profusion of critical approaches that have been competing for attention since magical realism first began to receive academic att

Abstract:

Speculative fiction has been a genre that is traditionally seen as a Western endeavor, reinforcing colonial ideas since its appearing. On the other hand, magical realism is a mode of writing commonly understood as subversive and decolonial. This study tries to understand the work of magical realism or even sacred realism within speculative fiction, especially as it relates to modes of decolonization. In a movement towards feminist decolonization, magical realism works through the speculative trope of physical transformation within Octavia Butler’s Kindred and Toni Morrison´s Belove

Abstract:

The purpose of the article is to explore the evolution of French literature between the late 19th century and early 21st century. Although French literature has long been dominated by rationalistic ways of thinking, based on the thoughts of René Descartes and John Locke, authors have used different means to express their perceptions of society. The novel Madame Bovary (1856), including its depiction of conjugal relationships, can be considered to have pioneered realism in French literature. During the Second World War, existentialism and absurdism appeared as new ways of examining not only the
