By creating hybrid zones of autonomy, the 'fantastic' - a subgenre of literary works - provides alternatives to conventional understandings of the world, knowledge, or identity. The fantastic raises a number of significant questions about cultural and social developments, and challenges existing boundaries. With regard to fantastic fiction in literature and different media representations, the articles in this volume explore: crossings into other worlds, time travel, metamorphoses, hybrid creatures, and a variety of other transitions and transgressions. The book analyzes hybrid genres, inter-media adaptations, transpositions into new media, as well as various forms of crossover as exemplified in the increasing trend of generation-spanning all-age literature.

Science fiction represents a diverse community of writers and readers that spans the entire world. This collection provides a global tour of the genre, with essays about Latin American, European, African, Arabic, Indian, Japanese, and Chinese science fiction providing insights about how writers around the world have explored and reinvigorated the genre. Essays by prominent critics from five continents inform about particular cultures and analyze representative texts by authors such as Tobias S. Buckell, Lourenco Mutarelli, Stanislaw Lem, Masande Ntshanga, Tawfiq Al-Hakim, Anil Menon, and Cixin Liu. The contributing scholars examine how national experiences have shaped these narratives, which often differ strikingly from Anglo-American science fiction. An introductory survey of foreign-language science fiction in the United States endeavors to explain why so many of these texts have remained unknown to Anglophone readers. An extensive bibliography lists numerous resources for further study of science fiction from various parts of the world.

The book sets out to examine the concept of 'chav', providing a review of its origins, its characterological figures, the process of enregisterment whereby it has come to be recognized in public discourse, and the traits associated with it in traditional media representations. The author then discusses the 'chav' label in light of recent re-appropriations in social network activity (particularly through the video-sharing app TikTok) and subsequent commentary in the public sphere. She traces the evolution of the term from its use during the first decade of the twenty-first century to make sense of class, status and cultural capital, to its resurgence and the ways in which it is still associated with appearance in gendered and classed ways. She then draws on recent developments in linguistic anthropology and embodied sociocultural linguistics to argue that social media users draw on communicative resources to perform identities that are both situated in specific contexts of discourse and dynamically changing, challenging the idea that geo-sociocultural varieties and mannerisms are the sole way of indexing membership of a community. This volume contends that equating 'chav' with 'underclass' in the most recent uses of the concept on social networks may not be the whole story, and the book will be of interest to sociocultural linguistics and identity researchers, as well as readers in anthropology, sociology, British studies, cultural studies, identity studies, digital humanities, and sociolinguistics.

This book takes a fresh look at Tolkien’s literary artistry from the points of view of both linguistics and literary history, with the aim of shedding light on the literary techniques used in The Lord of the Rings. The authors study Tolkien’s use of words, style, narrative techniques, rhetoric and symbolism to highlight his status as literary artist. Dirk Siepmann uses a corpus stylistic approach to analyse Tolkien’s vocabulary and syntax, while Thomas Kullmann uses discourse theory, literary history and concepts of intertextuality to explore Tolkien’s literary techniques, relating them to the history of English fiction and poetry. Issues discussed include point of view, speeches, story-telling, landscape descriptions, the poems inserted into the body of the narrative, and the role of language in the characterization of the novel’s protagonists. This book will be of particular interest to students and scholars of literature, corpus linguistics and stylistics, as well as Tolkien fans and specialists.

Since the turn of the 21st century, the television series has rivalled cinema as the paradigmatic filmic medium. Like few other genres, it lends itself to exploring society in its different layers. In the case of Great Britain and Ireland, it functions as a key medium in depicting the state of the nation. Focussing on questions of genre, narrative form, and serialisation, this volume examines the variety of ways in which popular recent British and Irish television series negotiate the concept of community as a key component of the state of the nation.

Durch sein Wesen eröffnet das Spiel Welten jenseits der alltäglichen Realität und neue Bezugssysteme, die immer bedeutungsvoll mit ihr interagieren. Kultur braucht den Freiraum, den das Spielen generiert, um zu entstehen, sich zu verändern und anzupassen. Komplexe Querverbindungen zwischen spielerischen Anderswelten und dem Alltag von Individuen und Gruppen bilden das Kerninteresse dieser Publikation, sowie die Möglichkeiten des sozio-kulturellen Austausches zwischen den Realitäten. Es entsteht ein Überblick über die Palette an Möglichkeiten, Problemen und die zukünftigen Potentiale von Spielen und spielbaren Medien als Vermittler zwischen fantastischen Welten und dem Alltagsleben.

Idylle written by Nils Jablonski and has been published by Springer-Verlag this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2019-05-17 with Literary Criticism categories.
Die Idylle steht im Spannungsfeld von Kitsch und Katastrophe, das Nils Jablonski durch medienkomparatistische close readings literarischer, filmischer und televisiver Texte untersucht. In der Perspektive einer materialen Topik wird das vielfältige Verkommen der Idylle anhand ihrer Poetizität, Medialität und Serialität analysiert – beginnend bei den Anfängen in der Antike, über die Popularisierung der Idylle im 18. Jahrhundert bis zu gegenwärtigen Filmen und TV-Serien. Die herausgearbeitete Spezifik idyllischer poiesis kennzeichnet zudem die richtungsweisenden Reflexionen zur Idylle um 1800. Mit kritischem Bezug auf die idyllischen Verfahren der Überlagerung, Idealisierung und Beschränkung bei Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Friedrich Schiller und Jean Paul wird die enge gattungstheoretische Bestimmung der Idylle revidiert, um den kulturkonstitutiven Aspekt des materialen Topos strukturell zu erfassen.
