Abstract:

This article makes a pioneering effort to explore the relationship between spy fiction, intelligence and the public sphere in Britain after World War Two. The secret British achievements of code-breaking, atomic science and deception in the World War of 1939–45 were outstanding. Similarly, the British contribution to spy fiction in the twentieth century has been seen as exceptional. However, the complex interconnections between the history and fictions of intelligence in the post-war decades have never been closely examined. This is a period during which the British state aggressively sought t

Abstract:

This contribution demonstrates how Burnett adopts several devices typical of detective fiction, namely clues, secondary secrets, interrogations, Gothic elements and the investigating outsider in a closed (and reclusive) society, in The Secret Garden in order to introduce tension and the motif of a riddle to solve her masterpiece. She also for the first time uses character qualities to develop Mary into a character with a talent to rely on her own observations and draw the correct conclusions. Thus she becomes the prototype of the girl sleuth who will become important in later detective fiction

Abstract:

This article aims to explore the importance of secrecy, both state and individual, in Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon, a science fiction novel that narrates its events in two different timelines, one during World War II, the other presumably at the end of the 20th century. The two timelines in which the novel takes place present numerous state and individual secrets that give rise to readings about the need (or not) for a society of total transparency, as well as various ethical conflicts that may arise in the reader. These conflicts may arise from the audience's empathy towards certain charac

After briefly exposing the links between biography, fiction and autobiography in Wayson Choy’s work, this paper analyzes how the author reasserts in his autobiography, Paper Shadows, the premise that underlies his novel about the Chinese-Canadian community, The Jade Peony: that the truth about one’s history, a necessary element to personal balance and development in adult life, is best searched for not in hard facts but in narratives of fictive status, namely stories of ghosts, mysteries and secrets kept.

Abstract:

Through an account of Derrida's late text on Paul de Man, ‘“Le Parjure”, Perhaps’, as a deliberately indiscrete confession, this essay considers the wider question of secrecy. It examines an unsuspected institutional history of deconstruction while suggesting a role for secrecy as the necessary condition of any critical reading. Along with De Man, the essay finally revisits the claim for ‘the radical secrecy of fiction’ as a basic structure of phenomena.

Abstract:

Irish crime fiction has largely been a contemporary phenomenon, but it has already shown itself to have highly various preoccupations and influences, including Irish gothic modes as well as the work of international crime writers like Patricia Highsmith and Ross Macdonald. Macdonald’s Lew Archer novels, in particular, are marked by a thematic obsession with ruined and ruinous families, with children cast adrift on seas of generational corruption. Such deep connections between gothic modes, family secrets, and crime fiction offer a cultural foundation that has served Irish crime and mystery wri

Verney Lovett Cameron (1844–1894) has now lapsed into relative obscurity, but in the late nineteenth century he was among the premiere British explorers, having established his credentials by completing a transcontinental African expedition (1872–76) from present-day Tanzania to Angola. This article, however, focuses on Cameron's status as the most prolific of a range of explorers who turned to the affordances of prose fiction.

Answering this question involves some inference and speculation, but the argument is that the material form of part publication served not only strategic and practical purposes in the print marketplace but served also as an expressive form for Lippard.

Abstract:

Various modern fictions, building upon the skeptical premises of biblical scholars, have claimed that the gospels covered up the real story about Jesus. Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code is one recent, popular example. While conspiracy theories may seem peculiar to modern media, the gospels have their own versions of hidden secrets. For Mark, e.g., Roman discourse about crucifixion obscures two secret plots in Jesus’ passion, which the gospel reveals: the religious leaders’ conspiracy to dispatch Jesus and the hidden divine program to sacrifice Jesus. Mark unveils these secret plots by minimizing

Placing it in the context of the diasporic family dynamics, prevalent in Lahiri’s fiction, the uncanny effect may be seen to reside in the unspoken secrets and repressed content passed on from the first to the second generation and disturbing the neat acquisition of the trappings of middl

How do societies shift away from being a nation of gods and omens to one of rules and law? Is this the natural evolution of civil society?

The boy, it seems, learned the secrets of the community as part of his duties to become the new “Lord Keeper.” The secret of the community is that, in times long past, the society decided to, literally, brick their stone god up to be kept away from the community and to, instead,

Nighttime serving as a shelter to forbidden liaisons is a well-known topos. However, 18th-century libertine fiction reminds us that whilst darkness can conceal bodies, it also forces those it hides to be silent. Nighttime amplifies the slightest sound which can betray clandestine lovers. That libertine topos of night disclosing (rather than dissimulating) erotic secrets bears witness to the Age of Enlightenment’s positive reconfiguration of noise as a sign of human vitality. Crucially, this topos also illustrates the difficulty of silencing desire. As a result, nighttime emerges from this topo

A concept is a mental representation of knowledge about a certain object, phenomenon, feature, or action. There are different types of knowledge representation structures: mental model, scheme, image, frame, scenario, gestalt. It is the frame that allows us to cognitively represent knowledge about the world.

Henry James's Autobiography recalls a first vision of “vast portentous London” in 1855, and contrasts brother William's boredom to his own imaginative response to the city (Small Boy 157, 170–71). Having moved there, he feels that amid the “London scene” he can fully exercise his “intellectual curiosity,” feeding “on the great supporting and enclosing scene itself” (Middle Years 553, 564). A later announcement to William Dean Howells that “henceforth I must do, or half do, England in fiction” comes as no surprise (Letters 284). James would follow up his intention in half-a-dozen novels, gradua

Abstract:

The article discusses the main poetic aspects of the collection of short stories, Paper Theatre, by the Serbian writer Milorad Pavić. The author of the article examines autobiographical moments and substantiates that Pavić’s work can serve as an illustration of a productive synthesis of fiction and actual events. The dynamic form and implementation of the postmodern concept of the death of the author are considered with the help of multiplicity of authorship, which in turn caused a shift in emphasis to the text and an increase in the status of the reader, who plays a dominant role.

Abstract:

Focuses on how in Cuba race-marking was interrelated with surname-giving, also after the abolition of slavery. Through researching life histories on the local level in the Cienfuegos region, the author examines names of former slaves, finding that these were after abolition in notarial records often marked with the adjectives s.o.a., or "sin otro apellido" (without other surname, taking into account the Iberian double surname tradition). This, according to him, points to a stigmatization of these black citizens and related to their former status as possession, and is thus a racial marker, only

Abstract:

Twenty years after the end of Apartheid, violence is still a serious problem in South Africa, despite the prosperity and democratic stability of the state. Sexual violence, in particular, has become a major concern. During the decades of transition, secrets of sexual crimes were disclosed more than ever, and it was made patent that they were intertwined with political violence. Incest thus became a new important fictional theme in South African literature. Actually, the issue was already a tacit burning question for politicians and scientists at the end of the 20th century. Given the racist an

Abstract:

It is at the intersection of Posthuman thought, Gothic narratives, and the New Weird mode where “Two Houses” from Kelly Link’s Get in Trouble (2016) can be framed. In the story, six female astronauts alternate years of hibernation and moments of wakefulness in search of a habitable planet. The House of Secrets spaceship is controlled by the AI Maureen. Isolated in space, the astronauts amuse themselves by telling ghost stories. Through the stories, the reader is gradually dislocated from the recognizable landscape of a technologically plausible speculative fiction story to be plunged into a Go

Montréal est au coeur de l’oeuvre romanesque de l’écrivaine québécoise Nelly Arcan. Non seulement la métropole fournit-elle le décor à l’intrigue des quatre romans de l’auteure, mais aussi elle s’émancipe progressivement de sa seule fonction de cadre pour constituer, d’un opus à l’autre, un topos à part entière du récit, inséparable du sort des personnages qui y jouent leur destin. Tour à tour sordide et branchée à travers les quartiers de prédilection fréquentés par la romancière, virtuelle et fantastique dans le passage remarqué de l’autofiction à la science-fiction, la ville désirante mise

The article attempts to analyze the specifics of character creation in the collection «Secrets of Amorous Stories» (2020) by Vasyl Poltavchuk. The significance of the study lies in the fact that the image of a person in a work of art is always central. The study of artistic techniques of character modeling allows us to learn about the artist’s creative laboratory. The artistic heritage of V. Poltavchuk has been little characterized to date, despite the fact that it represents the development of contemporary short fiction in Ukrainian literature, and the writer worked for more than twenty years

Background. The article is devoted to the study of the problem of post-totalitarian trauma in modern Ukrainian literature, in particular in novels, which, thanks to their genre features, are able to depict not only phenomena, facts, but also broad contexts. The relevance of the research lies in the analysis of various human behavioral models caused by the activities of the totalitarian system, the so-called big changes that are finally reflected in the literary texts of modern authors as those who are ready to offer for articulation the silenced and hidden.
