ABSTRACT This article examines the relay translation of William Tufnell Le Queux’s (1864–1927) Strange Tales of a Nihilist, which the prominent Chinese translator of nihilist fiction, Chen Jinghan 陳景韓 (1878–1965), completed based on Matsui Shōyō’s 松居松葉 (1870–1933) Japanese rendering. By exploring the transcultural process through which a story of Russian nihilism traveled from Europe to East Asia, the author tests the translatability of the revolutionary structure of feeling across different cultures. The author reveals how English and Japanese media and literature inspired Chinese interpretat

Abstract:
Fictionality is a central theme in Kim Yeon-soo’s novels. His works challenge the dichotomy of fiction and reality, truth and falsehood, and the real and the fake. Kim explores the possibilities of fictionality at the boundaries of these constructs, adopting a consistently metafictional approach. This study examines the semantics of fiction in Good-bye, Lee Sang. The second story in Good-bye, Lee Sang, “Lost Flower,” examines the dichotomy between fiction and reality, illustrating how fiction transforms into reality. Reality, Kim suggests, is merely another form of fiction—one that survives by

El objetivo del trabajo es mostrar el nihilismo que se muestra, principalmente, en algunos textos de ficción contemporánea, y mostrar el modo en el que ese nihilismo lleva plegada su propia ética esperanzadora, dentro del espectro del capitalismo. Para ello analizamos los procesos de lectura y sugerimos la necesidad de la piedad a la hora de enfrentarse a los textos comentados, con el fin de que se despliegue esa ética implícita. La primera parte del trabajo hace un resumen del marco teórico del nihilismo y de la ética, partiendo de Nietzsche, Heidegger, Dostoievski, Hoare, Franze, entre otros

Abstract:
John Banville's The Untouchable functions as a critique of subjectivity after modernism, specifically theories of the decentred subject. The narrator of the book, Victor Maskell, is a fictionalized version of English art historian and Soviet spy Anthony Blunt, and through this fictional memoir, Banville offers a portrait of the self with a terrible absence at its centre, implicating modernism's suspicion that the subject, or cogito, is a discursive fiction as the source of Maskell's treason and nihilism. At the heart of Maskell's identity is the death drive, the ‘blind automatism of repetition

Abstract:
Abstract The late-nineteenth-century Russian nihilist movement was popularized by the portrait of Bazarov in Ivan Turgenev’s Fathers and Sons. But despite Turgenev’s nuanced and poignant portrayal, nihilism became associated with Russian revolutionary activities and especially terrorism. Discussions of the nihilist ethos were not limited to Russia but pervaded print culture in Western Europe. The orientalizing rhetoric of British journalism placed Russia firmly in the Eastern camp, so that it offered both the spectacle of exotic, retrograde monarchy and the equally fascinating or threatening v

Abstract:
Abstract Anton Chekhov’s “The Bet” (1889) may be considered a latter-day conte- philosophique, as a symbolic engagement with the philosophical challenges presented by nihilism and anarchism that reverberated through Russia since the 1860s. Occasionally assigned in literature classes and alluded to by political pundits, the story nonetheless has not been recognized by critics as a masterpiece of irony and existential inquiry, influenced by countervailing currents of nineteenth-century philosophy.

This thesis focuses on the mature development of Christine Brooke-Rose’s experimental fiction, taking particular interest in the exemplary texts Between and Thru. I argue that these texts both critically refigure and respond to central aspects of the poststructuralist debate. I investigate Between and Thru specifically in relation to the theories of Irigaray, Barthes (in the case of Between), Derrida and Kristeva (in the case of Thru), demonstrating how the two novels develop these theorists’ core tenets in an innovative manner that critics have failed to recognise up to this point.

My dissertation focuses on a set of Anglo-American novels that deal with the events of 9/11. Identifying thematic and stylistic differences in the fiction on this topic, I distinguish between novels that represent directly the jolts of trauma in the wake of the attacks, and novels that, while still holding the events as an underlying operative force in the narrative, do not openly represent them but envision their long-term aftermath. The first group of novels comprises Lynne Sharon Schwartz’s The Writing on the Wall (2005), Don DeLillo’s Falling Man (2007) and Jonathan Safran Foer’s Extremely

THE Dublin Unit for Speculative Thought is an art/theory collective which was formed in late 2012 by Paul Ennis, Fintan Neylan and Michael O’Rourke. The impetus behind our coming together was a shared emphasis in our work and our thinking on speculative realism and a mutual antipathy towards and marginal position vis-à-vis the academy qua institution. Initially, we could agree that the main things we had a fidelity to were speculative realisms (broadly conceived) and para-academic modes of thinking which could be deployed in a DIY fashion outside the walls of and alongside (even parasitical on

Abstract:
Abstract ‘Fictionalism’ about a discourse is defined as an anti-realist account of the discourse that uses resources drawn from anti-realist theories of fiction. Nihilism does not count as a form of fictionalism in this sense. Some philosophers have offered revolutionary fictionalist accounts of truth. This chapter argues that revolutionary fictionalists about truth should consider incorporating nihilism into their theories. In response to Gamester’s pretence-based form of revolutionary fictionalism, it raises questions about whether this should be preferred to other forms of revolutionary fic

Abstract The commentary explores both literary and theological dimensions of memory in Dostoevsky’s fiction and its implication for views of the afterlife. Nineteenth-century innovations in thinking about the afterlife are considered, placing Dostoevsky’s views in the context of the ideas of his time. It is argued that Dostoevsky’s novels create memories for their readers that bring into focus hope for a life beyond the material world, linking this to the theology of light. With reference to the motto of The Brothers Karamazov (John 12.24), it is argued that Dostoevsky sees literature as being

No genre explored the escapist lure of apocalypse more fully than the new pulp genre of men’s action fiction, where the 1960s-style fallout shelter serves as a measure of the faith of the hero in the structure of government and authority and the society it underpins. The more elaborate the shelter and the accoutrements of survival that surround it, the more likely is nuclear war to have been a good war. For rightwing writers, the distinct probability of urban apocalypse afforded a new political equation for the 1980s: eliminating the densely packed blue-state populations, especially on the coa
