Abstract:
Museums are digitizing their collections of 3D objects. Video games provide the technology to interact with these objects, but the educational goals of a museum are often at odds with the creative forces in a traditional game for entertainment. Efforts to bridge this gap have either settled on serious games with diminished entertainment value or have relied on historical fictions that blur the line between reality and fantasy. The Vessel project is a 3D game designed around puzzle mechanics that remains a game for entertainment while realizing the benefits of incorporating digitized artifacts

Abstract:
Building on Tzvetan Todorov's observation that the detective novel ‘contains not one but two stories: the story of the crime and the story of the investigation’, this essay argues that detective novels display a remarkably wide range of attitudes toward the several pasts they represent: the pasts of the crime, the community, the criminal, the detective, and public history. It traces a series of defining shifts in these attitudes through the evolution of five distinct subgenres of detective fiction: exploits of a Great Detective like Sherlock Holmes, Golden Age whodunits that pose as intellectu

Abstract:
The plots of soft-boiled novels usually offer a game of riddles and puzzles that challenge the reader. That is why it has been easier for structures to be adapted to new dimensions. Through interactive literature and transmedia narrative, the aim is to explore how this genre has been transferred to other works in different formats. The study will address some concrete examples to finally show the design of an interactive and transmedia product with the purpose of teaching literature to high school students. The research does not aim to show a learning process but the design and development of

Abstract:
Abstract Narrative time loops can challenge key dimensions of story comprehension, including causality, chronology, agency, and continuity. But how can such temporally puzzling experiences contribute to narrative engagement? This essay argues that many contemporary loop narratives in fiction film and television seek a distinct kind of audience engagement, one that can be characterized as narrative play, a ludic invitation to actively engage with and decode the chrono-logic underlying these stories. To explore this ludic engagement, this essay investigates the role of viewers’ epistemic emotion

Abstract:
James Hogg's The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner(1824) is often mentioned as an ambiguous work that deals with religious mania and split personality. Also, his story becomes more like open puzzles in crime fiction through gothic and metafictional techniques. Beneath his complicated contents and forms, however, we need to find Hogg's political and cultural intentions. From a long time ago, Scottish mysticism has been suppressed by the government and authentic religion. His intentional use of antinomianism is a pretext to address the independent and undaunted spirit of Scot

Abstract:
Abstract Board games are often used as a plot motif in modern genre fiction, especially in detective and adventure stories. In these types of narrative, a well-known pattern of storytelling or literary structure (e.g., the treasure hunt, the detection of serial crimes, the iniatory course, or the medieval tale collection) is reworked and adapted to the rules and phases of a board game such as chess, jeu de l’oie, or the tarot card pack. This literary practice is very ancient and may be traced back to a number of novelistic compositions of the ancient Near East, dating from the 1st millennium B

The crime-writing women of the interwar period and the feminisation of crime fiction that accompanied their dominance in the genre are considered. Discussion then turns to the centrality of death in clue-puzzles. It is argued that irreverent murder mysteries filled a postwar need to consider death on a small, explicable scale, and that they licensed moving beyond sorrow and into laughter at the absurdity of death.

Abstract:
Lydia Davis’s “flash fictions” shift our attention from narrative to verbal craft, evident in her resolute choice of words, syntax, and sentence rhythms. An abbreviated style compels readers to focus on fully stopped moments, an effect that defies narrative progression much as do Joy Williams’s and Alice Munro’s discontinuous stories. Like them as well, the development of a later style is a matter of branching into new directions—in her case, continuing a microscopic fascination with individual words and their resonances, but now shifting toward found objects (Flaubert’s letters), or letters o

The Killers was published in 1927 and became one of the classic works of Ernest Hemingway. The whole novel is composed of dialogues and contains profound themes in concise language but contains rich storyline and profound themes. In 1932, Hemingway proposed the famous Iceberg Theory in his documentary work as a metaphor. Then the iceberg theory soon becomes a typical theory with simple art in terms of style which is deleting the dispensable things in the novel. Therefore, the author hopes to use the classic Iceberg Theory, combining with the text, to analyze the two themes in the paper: the vi
