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

In the article, I show why dealing with the paradox of fiction from the perspective of the philosophy of emotion could be useful both for the study of emotion and for the philosophy of art.

Abstract A familiar question in the literature on emotional responses to fiction, originally put forward by Colin Radford, is how such responses can be rational. How can we make sense of pitying Anna Karenina when we know there is no such person?

Instead, the real problem is why there is a divergence in our normative assessments of emotions in different contexts. I argue that explaining this divergence requires a more nuanced account of the rationality of

This paper examines the intersections between trauma and literature and crime fiction, more specifically. By looking at the representations of trauma in crime fiction, it is argued here that trauma in crime novels involves a multilayered and complex discourse that generates its own narrative, one that relies on techniques like fragmentation, repetition, puzzle-solving, deliberate vagueness, and obscurity. It is also proposed that the use of trauma as a lens to examine crime narratives is both valuable and problematic, as it brings forth the conflict and the tension in the trauma discourse rega

Τhese picturebooks invite a more active reader. Mc Callum (1996) notes that metafictive narratives pose «questions about the relationships between the ways we interpret and represent both fiction and reality». Trites ( 1994) also identif

Abstract:

Educational Escape Games (EEG) are learning scenarios in which participants must solve a series of puzzles with a clear educational purpose in order to escape from a (fictional) locked room under time pressure. This paper examines two EEGs designed by teacher education students and play-tested with two Spanish classes (10th and 13th grade). The study focuses on the construct of learner engagement from the perspective of conversation analysis and investigates the extent to which learners engage cognitively, affectively, and socially. The results demonstrate that the participants jointly accompl

Abstract:

This study aims to produce valid and appropriate Indonesian language learning media material for storytelling fiction and non-fiction. The type of research being developed is Research and Development (R&D) referring to the 4D model, namely Define, Design, Development, and Disseminate. This research produced a product in the form of a maze puzzle with a size of 70 cm × 60 cm with wood or plywood as the basic material. Data analysis techniques were carried out using percentage calculations which were then described to obtain valid and feasible media results. Based on the results of data anal

Abstract:

The claim here is that cultural representations of dementia may benefit from the structure of crime fiction which appears therefore to be among the theme most suited genres. We do not know enough about the disease or its etiology (the “culprit” remains unknown), hence the situation of the sufferer befits that of enigma or suspense, fear or confusion, doubt and presumption, standardly deployed by detective stories. Crime fiction narratives underscore that which is at stake in dementia: the riddle of disappearing of the person affected, the puzzle of memory loss, the identity doubt which extends

Abstract:

Although the writer and Columbia professor Carolyn Gold Heilbrun (1926-2003) is more widely known for her best-selling mystery novels, published under the pseudonym of Amanda Cross, she also authored remarkable pieces of non-fiction in which she asserted her long-standing commitment to feminism, while she also challenged established notions on women and aging and advocated for a reassessment of those negative views. Taking her essays in feminism and literary criticism as a basis and two of her later novels as substantiation to my argument, this paper will try to illustrate the ways in which th

Abstract:

In his article “What is Neo-Victorian Studies?” (2008), Mark Lewellyn argues that the term neo-Victorian fiction refers to works that are consciously set in the Victorian period, but introduce representations of marginalised voices, new histories of sexuality, post-colonial viewpoints and other generally ‘different’ versions of the Victorian era. Valerie Martin’s gothic-romance Mary Reilly drew on Stevenson’s novella to introduce a woman’s perspective on the puzzle of Jekyll and Hyde. Almost twenty-years after the publication of Martin’s novel, the newly established field of research in Neo-Vi

The mineral is considered as a base for the creation of a number of new interesting and useful substances for the modern science of materials. The characteristics of a natural sample are compared with its synthetic analogue AM-4. Examples of potential applications of AM-4 and its new form as the "nano-scale puzzle" for the field of organic synthesis are given. Different methods of AM-4 granulation are shown.

The article proposes a reading of one of the constituent aspects of the feature film Ghost in the Shell (2017), its plot, as a compendium of influences of what is usually considered to belong to the science fiction genre. According to the reading, the movie presents ideas and an aesthetics that points to the newest trends of science fiction, such as cyberpunk, suggesting passages of many previous films, something that can help draw the constitutive master lines of the plot as similar to the concept of rhapsody, an old, if not ancestral concept.

Abstract:

MKULTRA is an experimental game that explores novel AI-based game mechanics. Similar in some ways to text-based interactive fiction, the player controls a character who interacts with other characters through dialog. Unlike traditional IF, MKULTRA characters have simple natural language understanding and generation capabilities, sufficient to answer questions and carry out simple tasks. The game explores a novel game mechanic, belief injection, in which players can manipulate the behavior of NPCs by injecting false beliefs into their knowledge bases. This allows for an unusual form of puzzle-b

Abstract:

Cette contribution s’intéresse au traitement du récit-cadre dans les romans et nouvelles de Dumas. Même si ce type de début n’est pas le plus répandu dans son abondante production, sa relative fréquence justifie une analyse. Reprenant un type d’incipit classique, Dumas en fait un usage extrêmement personnel et original. Mélangeant réalité et fiction, il bouscule volontiers le cloisonnement des genres ; il s’en sert aussi pour s’approprier un texte écrit en collaboration ; cette appropriation passe souvent par l’écriture de soi qu’on retrouve dans tous ces débuts, et qui composent un portrait d
