Abstract:

Gabriel García Márquez’s One Hundred Years of Solitude makes the magical and strange feel familiar, and short stories from Fiction @ The Sociological Review inversely make the familiar feel strange. I consider this ability to make the familiar strange as a key part of having a sociological sense of the world: as an ability to disturb what seems fixed and settled in society, and unmake any given set of social relations as the only and natural way of life. I conceptualise the crafting of this sense in fiction as a process of distillation. When writing sociological fiction, we distil our discipli

Abstract:

This essay considers how possible worlds theory has been applied to science fiction, arguing that such an approach has tended to obscure issues of intertextuality within science fiction’s diegetic world-building. Rather than addressing sf’s alternative histories as “counterfactuals,” it is suggested that “counterfictionality” may also be significant. This is defined as the process through which new texts borrow from, combine, and rework the narrative worlds of existent fictions in order to pay homage to, but also comment on, originating classics in the genre’s cultural history.

Abstract:

The article tackles the problem of fictional (constructed) literature termed by Paweł Dunin-Wąsowicz ‘spectral’. Reading through Arturo Pérez-Reverte’s The Club Dumas, Susanna Clarke’s Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norell, and J.K. Rowling’s three works alluding to the Harry Potter cycle, the author proceeds with describing a tendency observed in postmodern fiction, namely, (1) creating fictional artefacts transgressing the borders of fictional world, and (2) constructing libraries within this very world which collect fictional texts imitating the factual ones.

Abstract:

David Mitchell has written a famous novel about how to make a (geographically fragmented) novel out of fragments: the six life stories included in Cloud Atlas are implicit fictional networks, simultaneously concealed and laid bare. The novel offers ample room for six nested histories and their divergent styles; the result is a strange and rather ostentatious book, shaped like a ziggurat, and providing an almost didactic initiation into matters of style. In fact, David Mitchell offers an atlas of the globalization of fiction. The spaces and times of Cloud Atlas engender not only polytopy and po

Abstract:

Jean Rhys’s stories ‘Temps Perdi’ (1967), ‘I Spy the Stranger’ (1966), ‘A Solid House,’ (1963), and ‘The Insect World’ (1973) do not figure in current scholarship on Second World War fiction. Versions of the first three were offered for publication in 1946. Rhys began writing ‘The Insect World’ in the mid-1940s. Rhys’s perspective in the fiction is that of an expatriate white Creole from Dominica, an island with formative Indigenous and French and British imperial histories. Focusing on ‘The Insect World’, ‘I Spy a Stranger’, and ‘Temps Perdi’, I analyse Rhys’s representations of temporalities

Thesis (PhD)-- Stellenbosch University, 2014.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study engages with the complete novelistic oeuvre of the Zanzibari-born author Abdulrazak Gurnah, whose fiction is dedicated to the theme of migration. With each novel, however, Gurnah deploys innovative stylistic features as an analytic frame to engage with his signature topic. From his first novel to his eighth, Gurnah offers new insights into relocation and raises new questions about what it means to be a migrant or a stranger in inhospitable circumstances and how such conditions call for a negotiation of hospitable spa

Abstract:

What is the boundary between fiction and nonfiction? What happens if the line between the two is crossed? Can we possibly recall events in our lives exactly as they happened? In creative nonfiction, such as memoir, the audience expects the writer to recall things exactly as they happened, with no embellishments, re-ordering, additions, or subtractions. It seems as if authors of creative nonfiction are bound to be questioned about events, nitpicked on details, challenged on memories, and accused of portraying real-life people the "wrong" way. Yet when the writer creates fiction, it seems to

In this thesis, depending on Benedict Anderson’s Studies of nationalism in his book The Imagined Communities, I will prove that in her historical fiction for children, Wondrous Journeys in Strange Lands, the Palestinian writer Sonia Nimr is reviving and reforming Arab national identity.

For the people to imagine their nation, Anderson states three tools: the map as a representation of the geographical space, the census as a representation of populat

This thesis is concerned with the importance of the gaze in fin-de-siecle Gothic. One of the ways in which the importance of the gaze manifests itself is in the central role of the onlooker like Enfield, Utterson or Lanyon in Robert Louis Stevenson's Stange case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde (1886), Prendick In H.G. Well's Island of Dr Moreau (1896), or Harker in Bram Stoker's Dracula (1897). As their appelation suggests, Wells's Beast Men confound the distinction between the human and the animal, which is also the case with 'Beast Men' like Hyde and Dracula.

These collections bring a set of strange beings to the family and the patriarchal society. The stranger in the fiction of Viana unbalances the rigorous standards of absolute truth and challenges the dead posture that leads people to live by the roots of a molded patriarchal system that, while outdated, is still adjusting behaviors.

In other words, is the plethora of technological advancements a direct result of anthropomorphic inevitabilities or are we simply trying to realize objects, vehicles, and environments we saw in science fiction representations in the mid-twentieth century?

The hero, as the main constituent of fiction, experienced a palpable, almost absolute devaluation from medieval literary texts before William Thackeray declared the arrival of a novel without a hero and since then, with varying degrees of success, writers have tried to bring back the hero in fiction but mostly in vain. It should not be surprising that similar processes take place in the texts of geographically and culturally distant literatures.

Robert Duncan Milne (1844-99), from Cupar, Fife, was a pioneering author of science fiction stories, most of which appeared in San Francisco’s Argonaut magazine in the 1880s and ’90s.

Milne was fascinated by science. He drew on the work of Scottish physicists and inventors such as James Clark Maxwell and Alexander Graham Bell into the possibilities of electroma
