A pioneering attempt to relate the theory of literary fiction to a more general theory of fiction, using fictions of apocalypse as a model. This pioneering exploration of the relationship of fiction to age-old conceptions of chaos and crisis offers many new insights into some of the most unyielding philosophical and aesthetic enigmas. Examining the works of a wide range of writers from Plato to William Burroughs, Kermode demonstrates how writers have persistently imposed their \"fictions\" upon the face of eternity and how these have reflected the apocalyptic spirit.

The Musicalization of Fiction.A Study in the Theory and History of Intermediality.

In his article \"(Inter)mediality \"intermedial turn\" and asks whether this turn ought to be welcomed. Wolf begins with a discussion about the definitions of \"medium\" and \"intermediality\" and the impact these concepts and practices exert on scholarly, as well as student competence. He argues that despite of the fact that literary studies ought not simply turn into media or cultural relevant issues for both teaching and the study of l erature and (comparative) cultural studies. Following his postulate of the relevance of mediality and intermediality in the study of literature, Wolf explores ways of integrating the said concepts and pr tices into the study of literature and, in particular, their integration in the field of narratology. In this context, Wolf presents a typology of intermedial forms. > ISSN 1481-4374 <http://docs.lib.purdue.edu/clcweb Purdue University Press , the peer-reviewed, full-text, and open-access learned journal in the ticles of scholarly books and publishes research material in its in the Annual Bibliography of English Language and The journal is affiliated with the Purdue University Press monog clcweb@purdue.edu> mediality and the Study of Literature\" 13.3 (2011) pectives on Material Culture and Intermedial Practice de Zepetnek, Asunción López-Varela, > and the Study of Literature\" Werner Wolf elaborates on the studies, mediality and intermediality have become iterature especially in the fields of comparative li > ©Purdue University

Inter)mediality and the Study of Literature

Ästhetische Illusion und Illusionsdurchbrechung in der Erzählkunst: Theorie und Geschichte mit Schwerpunkt auf englischem illusionsstörenden Erzählen

Among the many reorientations which the past century has brought about in the field of knowledge we have also witnessed what has been called the ‘narrativist turn’.2 This turn is evident in the increased attention that narratives and their characteristic quality, narrativity, have met with over the past few decades in a surprisingly large number of cultural practices. The table of contents of a volume edited by Cristopher Nash, Narrative in Culture,3 lists, for instance, economics, law, psychoanalysis, philosophy and literature — and this is only a selection of the discourses that have been associated with narrativity. In addition, one may mention autobiography (for obvious reasons), historiography,4 ‘natural history’ including geology and biology (an example of which is the series of booklets The Story Behind the Scenery devoted to explaining the geological, biological and cultural backgrounds of US National Parks and Monuments) and, moreover, the so-called ‘natural narratives’ of oral everyday ...
