Abstract:

The present article discusses Paul Georgescu’s short story O viziune a Paradisului [A Vision of Paradise] focusing on the main character’s revelatory experiences and placing them in relationship with various views on happiness exposed by the writer in other circumstances. At the same time, the intertextual strategies used by the author in order to dismantle certain stereotypes and clichés are analysed not only through the lens of modernism/ postmodernism dichotomy, but also in connection with the concept of literary balcanism. From the perspective of today’s reader, Paul Georgescu’s novels and

Abstract:

What is the essence of heaven? If you had to pick a single moment in your life to spend eternity in as your personal heaven, would you do it, and what moment would you pick? In this philosophical short story fiction, the narrator, in a semi-dream state, watches a bit of a late-night movie where the main character dies, goes to heaven, and must work with the bureaucrats of heaven to pick the moment in their lives they would like to live in forever as their personal heaven. This idea germinates in the narrator’s mind and she is forced to weight various moments in her life in an attempt to pick w

Abstract:

This article discusses the representation of AIDS in Guibert's posthumously published novel Le Paradis (Paradise). The novel is situated in relation to Guibert's better known previous AIDS writings. The article proposes that Guibert's AIDS works fall in to three related categories: writings about other peoples' AIDS; autobiographical writings about AIDS, and, in the third, terminal stage in which Le Paradis fits, writing (about) AIDS. As such the article suggests that Le Paradis manages to reflect and communicate some of the trauma of living with AIDS by specifically trying not to write about

Abstract:

Abstract: For much of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, probability had been a quality of the propositions, sentences, and arguments extracted from a larger work for the purpose of example and instruction. But in the late seventeenth century, the concept grew into a criterion for the judgment of works in their entirety. The scenes of argument in Paradise Lost (1667) turned humanist convention against itself, and in so doing, helped usher probability into "the principal rule" of literary criticism: that fiction—irreducible to any of its parts, autonomous from the demands of teaching—shou

Abstract: Riadh Hadir's work of dystopian fiction, Pupille , tells of a post-apocalyptic future, in which Africa below the Sahara has purportedly been irradiated and rendered inhospitable to life. Yet the novel's protagonists discover an entirely alternate reality, as they undertake a trans-Saharan migration towards an African utopia. While Pupille critiques Africa's absence from Maghrebi futuristic literature and reverses the geographic direction of migration narratives to point them south beyond the Sahara, it also continues to grapple with the divorcing of "the Maghreb" from "Africa".

The ‘Fallen Paradise’ offers nothing but corruption, violence, and chaos. Gunesekera’s ambivalence towards Sri Lanka disallows, rather than enables, the creation of sophisticated fiction.

Considering that mythology and storytelling are an integral part of the human experience, in this paper we will take a look at contemporary iterations of certain archetypal myths.

In this sense, the paper analyses the utilization of origin myths in post-apocalyptic science fiction movies: Waterworld (1995), The Matrix franchise (four installments 1999-2021), W

The study aspires to investigate the utilization of the symbolism in Toni Morrison’s Paradise (1997).

By using their individual choice to choose various forms of community, Americans were able to sustain and reproduce the social capital necessary to remain the functional community of communities the constitutional scheme depended upon and prevent the slide into

This essay seeks to supplement an established critical tradition that reads natural history in neo-Victorian fiction from a postmodern and largely de-politicised perspective. I argue that the figure of the naturalist can be used to revisit natural history's complicity with imperial expansion, both in its practice and in its discursive framework. By means of a close reading of Jem Poster's Rifling Paradise (2006), I explore the ways in which natural history gives way to an ecological approach to the colonial landscape, pointing to a possible – though still problematic – alternative to a scienti

The novel “Humans as Gods” by the Soviet science fiction writer S. Snegov is analyzed. In particular, the study is devoted to identifying the characteristic features of the world of the future of human civilization, which is depicted in the work at the stage of its maturity. The new order of human life is compared with the description of the lives of people from the mythical past, which is reflected in ancient and biblical sources. The similarities and distinctive features of ideas about a happy life are indicated. The importance of labor activity for a person of the future is noted as a neces

Abstract:

Abstract Scholars have spoken of Tender Is the Night as marking Fitzgerald's most “mature” representation of World War I in his fiction. This article, however, argues that all of the main facets of Fitzgerald's depiction of World War I in Tender Is the Night can be identified in his first novel, This Side of Paradise. Amory Blaine, like Dick Diver, is given to questioning the significance of the war, concluding as he does that it has resulted in a profound and irrevocable severance between his and preceding generations. Amory and Dick are further linked by the ways in which their self-concepti

Abstract:

Reading Morrison’s The Bluest Eye, Tar Baby, Paradise and A Mercy through the lens of Bakhtin reveals identity construction as a dialogic endeavour. While this method may be necessary for character development, it serves the further purpose of making an ethical case for the self’s responsibility to others. This paper considers key theoretical instruments, as enabled by Bakhtin, in relation to Morrison’s treatment of naming and other character constructing elements. It is ultimately Morrison’s construction of identity as dialogical which enables the argument that Morrison’s fiction offers an et

Abstract:

This study looks at references made to Sweden in U.S. newspaper and magazine articles discussing Swedish crime fiction. Books by authors such as Stieg Larsson and Henning Mankell have enjoyed a great deal of popularity in the United States in recent years, and institutions such as the Swedsh Institute in Stockholm have expressed the hope that this popularity will result in greater interest in and knowledge about Sweden. The findings of the study, however, suggest that such is not necessarily the case. U.S. media references to the home country of Larsson and Mankell tend to follow stereotypes a

Abstract:

The Paradise Institute, as exhibited in Toronto at The Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery at the Harbourfront Centre, is an oddity indeed. Straddling critical discourses, and occupying an ambiguous space within the context of the “white-wall” gallery, it defies standard means of investigation because it insinuates so many forms of art practice, incorporating visual art, sculpture, site installation, film, live performance and sound design. The work is the product of a long-time collaboration between high profile Canadian artists, and partners, Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller. This piec

Abstract:

The pictorial quotation of a painted or graphic portrait is one of the key intermedial artistic details of belles-lettres about artists. The paper examines the protagonist’s self-portraits in fictional and fictionalized biographical texts about Taras Shevchenko. The use of self-portrait detail in biographical texts across various genres is analyzed from the standpoint of intermedial studies. The functions of self-portraits, their interpretive potential, and the intermedial strategies used in the texts under discussion have been identified and explored.

Abstract:

When South African–born Peter Abrahams moved to Jamaica in 1956, he thought he had found a racial paradise. Over the next six decades as a Jamaican, his understanding of race in Jamaica was complicated after independence. His last two novels—This Island Now (1966) and The View from Coyaba (1985)—fictionalize the transition to independence in the anglophone Caribbean and how that transition related to the set of concerns unfolding across the rest of the black world. This essay traces Abrahams’s thought on questions of race and decolonization through a close reading of his Caribbean fiction and

It was an age of transition with tremendous changes in art, politics, economy, and culture. People of the era viewed life with a new spectacle admiring money, social status, beauty, and freedom. Especially women of the 1920s had many changing roles. In the post war period the image of the Victorian women subsided and the new women appeared with great cultural advancements.

This paper aims to deconstruct Toni Morrison’s selected novels through the lenses of ecocriticism. It looks at her work from an ecocritical angle. Sula has traditionally been read as a story about female friendship ;Song of Solomon has been critically acclaimed for its vivid capture of African American cultural heritage ; Tar Baby is regarded as a masterpiece because of its high folkloric resonance ; Beloved is perceived as a survey of the horrors of slavery ; Paradise is regarded as the narrative of contemporary communities confronted with great social changes, while A Mercy is considered to
