Saito, Kumiko. "From Novels to Video Games: Romantic Love and Narrative Form in Japanese Visual Novels and Romance Adventure Games." Arts 10, no. 3 (June 25, 2021): 42. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/arts10030042.
Full textAbstract:
Video games are powerful narrative media that continue to evolve. Romance games in Japan, which began as text-based adventure games and are today known as bishōjo games and otome games, form a powerful textual corpus for literary and media studies. They adopt conventional literary narrative strategies and explore new narrative forms formulated by an interface with computer-generated texts and audiovisual fetishism, thereby challenging the assumptions about the modern textual values of storytelling. The article first examines differences between visual novels that feature female characters for a male audience and romance adventure games that feature male characters for a female audience. Through the comparison, the article investigates how notions of romantic love and relationship have transformed from the modern identity politics based on freedom and the autonomous self to the decentered model of mediation and interaction in the contemporary era.

Abstract: This essay explores speculative resources in the premodern past as displayed in some contemporary anglophone fiction, with a focus on novels by Octavia Butler and Margaret Atwood. Among its retrievals, speculative medievalism offers a critical vantage point on ruinous, "neofeudal" futures by fashioning a form of romance narrative centered on workers. The late-fourteenth century English poem Piers Plowman is looked to as a premodern speculative precursor and interlocutor for such versions of the medieval past.

Full textAbstract:
As a representative of modern Chinese literature, Shen Congwen's works have the brilliance of pure and simple human nature. Shen Congwen's works are mostly written during the "rising period" of China's feminist movement, and through his works, we can glimpse the thinking and consideration of female images and even gender relations by literary representatives at that time. As a representative of an important literary field in an important period of the alternation of old and new ideas, Shen Congwen portrays a female image with a certain modern significance based on the traditional male-centric perspective, showing the harmony of human nature, while revealing the specific form of male ideology ignoring female subjectivity and the specific form of male power to female otherization - objectification. Through Shen Congwen's romance novel's objectification of female characters, readers can have a more comprehensive understanding of the social thought and collective unconsciousness of that period, which provides a certain reference for women to resist the otherization of women by patriarchy and get further obtain gender equality. This paper re-examines Shen Congwen's works from a female perspective, aiming to expose that "male power objectifying women" has become the collective unconsciousness of the whole society and has evolved into an important link in social value standards, and improve society's sensitivity to the hegemonic behavior of "objectification".

Currently, language has become a benchmark for conducting effective and perfect communication activities. This is due to the ease of using language to communicate and interact with others. In our daily lives, we also require various forms of language, such as spoken language, written language, and speech acts. However, language, especially in the form of speech acts, does not only occur in everyday life but can also be found in various written works, including literary works such as short stories, novels, and romances. It cannot be denied that inspiration from literary works, particularly romances, reflects aspects of everyday life and naturally employs language and speech acts within them. One of these romances is "Panggil Aku Sakai" by Ediruslan Pe Amanriza. This romance serves as the subject of the author's research, which employs a qualitative approach and a descriptive method. The research also emphasizes the study of speech acts, where several types of speech acts, such as representative, directive, expressive, and commissive, can be identified.

As one of the Four Great Classic Novels of Chinese literature, Romance of the Three Kingdoms found its way to the constellation of World Literature via translation and being adapted into the movie Red Cliff (2008) and famous video games series Dynasty Warriors (1997-now). This process further made the story of the Three Kingdom is widely known as many cinemagoers and gamers can associate themselves with the story in the form that they adore. Both processes, however, have disadvantages as they erase the Chinese cultural elements that are demonstrated in the novel. This novel is also heavily riddled with patriarchal paradigm that makes scholars consider Romance of the Three Kingdoms masculine novel by portraying women in a very weak position in Chinese society. This paper would try to dissect the issues of translation and women portrayal in detail by analyzing the translated work of Romance of the Three Kingdoms to see what cultural aspect that is disappear as a result of translation and dissecting the dismissive and derogative portrayal of several women characters in the novel.Keywords: Luo Guanzhong, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Feminism, World Literature

Full textAbstract:
The article is to describe an interesting phenomenon of the duplication of the literary patterns of behaviour among female protagonists created by Jane Austen. The subject of the paper is the analysis of the set books of the heroines invented by the British author in the both social and cultural context. Jane Austen’s novels can be regarded as the treasury of knowledge on the existence of the young girls at that time. The omnipresent conventions took away their right to dreams and self-fulfilment in almost every sphere of life. Lots of them found the coveted hope of improving their lives on the pages of overly aesthetic, sentimental novels. The characters from the books became inspirational among the female sex. The view of young ladies was based on their inner cultivation of the behaviour and mood which were inseparable from the girls from the popular romances. The patterns, continually given by fiction, took the place of humanistic and scientific knowledge, making the girls unaware – without the simplest information about the world. The subjects given in a wrong way by wrong teachers lowered their interest in education among youth, which also led to the popularity of sentimental, historical (especially those presenting the romance on the background of crucial events form the history of the given country) and Gothic novels. The text will concern the analysis of the attitude of the heroines created by the British author – on the basis of their set books and the position of Jane Austen in the range of literary criticism and the above-mentioned social phenomenon.

Full textAbstract:
ROSA CAMPBELL PRAED left Australia for London in 1876. In the decade or so subsequent to her arrival in the metropolis she forged a successful career as a writer of occult-inspired novels that drew on both theosophical doctrine and a nineteenth-century tradition of popular fiction that included Edward Bulwer-Lytton and Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu. A string of novels published in the 1880s and the early 1890s, including Nadine: the Study of a Woman (1882), Affinities: A Romance of Today (1885), The Brother of the Shadow: A Mystery of Today (1886), and The Soul of Countess Adrian: A Romance (1891), produced a sort of popular aestheticism that melded an interest in fashionable society, a market-oriented Gothicism, and speculations on the philosophy of art that were indicative of Praed's relationship to a fin-de-siècle Bohemia and its literary circles. There is no doubt that these novels can be located in terms of the numerous popular genres – the art novel, the aesthetic novel, the occult novel – that form the literary background to much better known texts such as Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray, Bram Stoker's Dracula and George du Maurier's Trilby. But to account for Praed's ephemerality in terms of a series of generic categories elides too easily the pressures – economic, political, and aesthetic – impinging on a colonial, female novelist quickly forging a career at the centre of an imperial culture. Praed's novels are hybrid, polysemic creations, over-determined by these pressures, which in turn, no doubt, have contributed to her invisibility in contemporary literary studies. Their Gothicism and their appropriation of theosophical doctrine are both manifest in themes like mesmerism, telepathy, duel personality, and the recurring figure of the spiritual or “moral vampire.” Yet these obviously commercial novels are also intensely invested in aesthetic questions, in the dislocated character of imperial experience, in the accrual of cultural capital, and in their own relationship to the vexed question of their originality vis-à-vis the market for popular fiction.

Full textAbstract:
Sudanese-British writer, Leila Aboulela’s novel, Minaret (2005) transforms the plot structure of Western literary and popular romance forms and develops further the plotlines of African-American Muslim romance novels. It does so by foregrounding the dissenting mother as obstruction to the union of the hero and heroine, against the backdrop of the unique status of the mother in Islam. Thus, the ending of the novel is neither happy nor tragic. Instead, the lovers are separated, and closure requires reconciliation on the part of the couple with the concerns of the mother. In addition, because of the significant differ-ence in age, the heroine is in some ways like a mother to the hero. Final contentment of the heroine is undermined by her questionable actions at the end, resulting in psychic and spiritual contraction. The novel is therefore open-ed up to ambiguity and uncertainty in the closure, notwithstanding the faith of the heroine. The specific form which closure takes, is determined by the dissenting mother as obstruction in Islamic romance.

O objetivo desta tese é uma análise do romance Dombey e Filho (1848), de Charles Dickens. Esse é seu sétimo romance e representa um divisor de águas em sua obra: a crítica social, a observação dos costumes e o diagnóstico da época passaram a ser feitos de um modo mais incisivo. Sempre com a preocupação de relacionar a forma literária e o processo social, nossa hipótese é a de que o narrador de Dombey e Filho, ao materializar os paradoxos da sociedade inglesa em meados do século XIX, busca soluções estéticas para contradições da realidade. A despeito das mudanças ocorridas nesses cento e cinquenta anos, e agora num contexto mais amplo, partes substanciais de tais contradições foram acentuadas, continuando em vigor, além disso, o certo estatuto de normalidade que as acompanham. Nesse sentido, nosso desafio é procurar na própria forma da obra os índices de algo que está para além dela: em seu presente e em seu futuro.The aim of this thesis is the analysis of the novel Dombey and Son (1848), by Charles Dickens. It is his seventh novel and represents a watershed in his work: in it, social criticism, the observation of manners and the diagnosis of the age became more incisive. Always bearing in mind the attempt to establish the relationship between literary form and social process, I argue that the narrator in Dombey and Son tries to elaborate aesthetic solutions for real contradictions while dealing with paradoxical midnineteenth- century English society. Despite all the changes since then, and in a broader context now, substantial parts of these contradictions have been emphasized, acquiring a certain degree of accepted normality. In this sense, our challenge is to investigate in the very form of the novel signs of something that goes beyond it: in its present and in its future.

Full textAbstract:
With a lack of places to gain an education in the craft of romance writing, novelists have few places to turn to gain real feedback. This paper investigates an alternative to textbooks, conferences, and workshops through an examination of the role provided to the writer by critique groups. How these groups work, how they benefit an author, and the critique groups as a whole are discussed. This work studies the form of Peer Assessment and Learning (PAL) and compares the technique used by educational institutions all over the world with the practice of author groups critiquing their own work. The research shows how a critique group can assist a writer to learn, grow and develop, helping to enhance the writer’s skills through constructive feedback, which gives them confidence to sell their work.

Full textAbstract:
Patterns of masculine and feminine portrayals can be found everywhere, yet one place sociologists tend not to look is in novels. Young adult novels have generated 27 million dollars in e-books alone in 2011, with paranormal romances and dystopian genres making up the majority of the sales (Scott, 2013). Understanding these novels is sociologically important because they are reaching wider audiences with their adaptation into Hollywood blockbusters. While the novels demonstrate stronger characteristics given to women, the messages about the ideal male in the novel often reflects one who is putting the female in danger. A content analysis of ten popular paranormal young adult novels demonstrates patterns of the construction of gender. Drawing on Radway’s (1984) analysis of romance novels and Connell’s, (2005) and hook’s (2004) theories of masculinities, this paper explores the messages in paranormal fiction geared to a mainly young adult female reading audience. My preliminary findings demonstrate thus far that these books reflect unhealthy ideas about relationships, violence, the body, and sexuality. The novels portray masculine bodies as hard, dangerous, and seductive. They also share a storyline consisting of the fear of getting killed by someone they are in love with.

Resumo: Nessa tese eu tento explicar uma mudança formal importante no primeiro romance de Joaquim Manuel de Macedo, aquele que ele escreveu entre os anos 1844 e 1855, antes de abandonar o gênero por uma década. A meu ver, o que acontece é uma progressiva desfuncionalização da "extravagância" - termo mais do que comum nos seus livros -, que servia para caracterizar uma juventude inserida numa nova sociabilidade, mais moderna, que o país passou a viver após 1808 e, principalmente, 1822. Marcados que eram por uma polarização geracional - jovens com suas novas atitudes, de um lado, e velhos um tanto receosos dessas mudanças, do outro -, a desfuncionalização acaba por roubar o protagonismo real daqueles jovens e atribuí-los aos velhos, um movimento de que Vicentina (1853) talvez seja o melhor exemplo. Na esteira de Franco Moretti, para quem a literatura é uma das maneiras pelas quais atribuímos sentido a processos de transformações históricas, leio esse deslocamento na esteira da injunção conservadora por que passa o país nesse período: um momento que acaba por atribuir uma importância muito grande a uma autoridade centralizadora. Como resultado, o romance brasileiro atinge, em meados dos anos 1850, é um impasse formal: não há mais como Macedo reduzir o espaço dos jovens sem que isso signifique uma completa substituição dessa função literária; ou seja, sem que o protagonismo passasse efetivamente para os mais velhos, transformando o romance brasileiro no depositário de uma tradição abertamente anti-moderna. Uma perspectiva, a meu ver, nada atraente para uma nação recém-emancipada e desejosa de fazer parte do concerto do mundo
Abstract: In this PhD dissertation I try to explain an important formal change in Joaquim Manuel de Macedo's first novels, which were written between 1844 and 1855, before he abandoned the genre for almost a decade. What occurred was a progressive de-functionalization of "extravagance" - a very common expression in his books -, that was used to portray a youth inscribed in a new kind of sociability, more modern, which Brazil experienced after 1808 and mainly after 1822. As those narratives were composed according to a generational opposition - young characters behaving in accordance with a new set of rules, on one side; and the old ones a bit apprehensive about these changes, on the other -, that defunctionalization ended up stifling the real protagonism of the youth, a process of which Vicentina (1853) may be the best example. Following the steps of Franco Moretti, for whom literature is one of the ways we use to master and to understand historical changes, I read that process in the light of a conservative shift that occurred in that period: a moment which ascribed a major importance to a centralized authority. As a result, the Brazilian novel reached, around 1850's, a formal impasse: Macedo could not reduce even more the space assigned to the youth without modifying its literary function; in other words, without giving the protagonism of the narrative to the older characters, transforming the Brazilian novel into a depository of an openly anti-modern world view. This is not an attractive perspective to a nation recently emancipated and anxious to be a part of the "civilized" world

Full textAbstract:
A Balada da Praia dos Cães é romance central no conjunto da obra de José Cardoso Pires devido ao ponto de vista a partir do qual é narrado. Essa instância guarda duas faces complementares, entre as quais repousa: uma de dimensão factual e histórica, a partir da qual o romance foi dissertado; outra, de feição ficcional. O ponto de vista intersticial é exatamente a pedra de toque do romance, cuja instabilidade entre o fato e o ficto instaura o princípio de todas as outras estruturas narrativas e é também o ponto de contato da Balada da Praia dos Cães com o conjunto da obra de José Cardoso Pires. De forma geral, a Balada contém avaliação do período inicial da crise do salazarismo português: a artificialidade, a morosidade e a falência das instituições burocráticas, circunscritas ao discurso oficial do Estado; a degradação da sociedade devido às práticas da delação e da tortura, na forma-limite do medo; a indecisão nacional, entre a tradição marialva e a modernização associada ao projeto europeu; a insistência em formas literárias tradicionais combinadas ao empréstimo de outras, estrangeiras, como reflexo dessa indecisão; o conservadorismo refratário à emancipação das mulheres; as formas mais perversas de repressão eis os termos por meio dos quais o período analisado é escovado a contrapelo por meio da perspectiva intersticial ela própria redução estrutural da experiência portuguesa semiperiférica.Balada da Praia dos Cães (Balad of Dogs Beach) is a central novel in the work of José Cardoso Pires considering the point of view from which it is narrated. The author keeps two complementary faces on which the book lies: one of a factual and historical dimension, whereupon the novel was disserted; another of a fictional nature. The interstitial point of view is exactly the novels touchstone, whose instability between fact and fiction establishes the principle of all other narrative structures and is also the link of Balada da Praia dos Cães with the whole work of José Cardoso Pires. Generally speaking, the book contains an assessment of the initial period in the Portuguese Salazar-period crisis: the artificiality, slowness and breakdown of bureaucratic institutions, circumscribed to the official discourse of the State; society degradation because of denunciation and torture practices, in the form-limit of fear; national indecision between the Marialva tradition and the modernization associated with the European project; insistence of traditional literary forms combined with the borrowing of other foreign forms as a reflection of such indecision; conservatism which is refractory to womens emancipation; the most perverse forms of repression those are the terms through which the period under discussion is brushed against the grain through an interstitial perspective being itself a structural reduction of the Portuguese semi-peripheral experience.

Diante disso, os romances do autor não apenas dão certa continuidade, mas também realizam uma experiência com a forma tradicional da ficção policial, já que os heróis de Aquino, movidos principalmente pelo ressentimento, transitam entre os três elementos fundamentais do gênero, a saber, o detetive, o criminoso e a vítima. Sendo assim, os protagonistas de Aquino são uma espécie de síntese entre as três categorias do romance policial tradicional e o que eles vão fazer é mostrar que em termos de modelo narrativo há uma experiência da forma que problematiza aspectos da sociedade brasileira.

Abstract: This thesis presents a critical analysis of Marçal Aquino’s novels, namely O invasor (2002), Cabeça a prêmio (2003), and Eu receberia as piores notícias dos seus lindos lábios (2005), with the objective to highlighting how the stories of the heroes Ivan, Brito and Cauby contribute to experimenting with the detective genre form. In order to do so, we have included an analysis of the short story “Matadores”, by the same author, which will function as an interpretative matrix for the novels. We argue that the novels by Marçal Aquino are organized around the point of view of a hero who is immersed in the world of Brazilian pistolagem (banditry), a context where violence is rationalized and turned into raw material for capital. Considering this, the author’s novels not only develop the traditional form of the detective novel, but also experiment on it, since Aquinian heroes, propelled mainly by resentment, vary among the genre’s three fundamental elements: detective, criminal, and victim. In this way, Aquino’s protagonists are a kind of synthesis of the traditional detective novel’s three categories, and what they do is show that, in terms of the narrative model, there is experimentation with the novel’s form which questions and discusses some aspects of Brazilian society. These heroes take part in a historical and political context branded by the intersection between law and order, by a State that administers crime, and by hitmen adjusted to the logic of labor and market laws, vi...

Num primeiro momento, pautamos nossa leitura na relação constituída entre o espaço e o sujeito por meio do estudo dos cronotopos, de Bakhtin, verificando a presença de dois principais temas espaciais: o da clausura, sobre como o espaço influi na constituição da subjetividade dos personagens e o de transição, sobre o deslocamento do protagonista, Mr. Biswas, do espaço rural para o urbano, despertando nele um vislumbre de agência. Realizamos uma análise detalhada do jornal e da educação colonial e, em seguida, enfocamos a casa e seus constituintes estruturais, bem como as possessões que o protagonista acumula ao longo de sua vida. Concluímos que A House for Mr. Biswas é um romance metaficcional que utiliza a metáfora da escrita e da construção da casa para representar o processo de sua própria construção. A metaficção se manifesta por meio da paródia do gênero do romance de formação, já incorporado pela literatura inglesa dos séculos XVIII e XIX, resultando na criação de um novo romance que almeja pertencer à tradição literária estabelecida, mas que, ao mesmo tempo, encontra-se em dívida em relação a ela.This dissertation examines the concept of literary space in the novel A House for Mr. Biswas (1961), by the Indo-Caribbean writer V. S. Naipaul. We have based our reading upon the relationship between space and subject by means of Bakhtins chronotopes, verifying the presence of two major themes: that of closure, related to the way in which space affects the constitution of the subjectivity of the characters, and that of transition, about the displacement of the protagonist, Mr. Biswas, from a rural to an urban space, awakening in him a glimpse of agency. We have conducted a detailed analysis of the newspaper and of colonial education, and then the focus shifts to the house and its structural components, as well as to the possessions which the protagonist accumulates throughout his life. We conclude that A House for Mr. Biswas is a metafictional novel that uses the metaphor of writing and that of the building of the house in order to represent the process of constructing the novel itself. Metafiction is disclosed through the parody of the formation novel, already incorporated by English literature of the 18th and 19th centuries, resulting in the creation of a new novel, which aspires to become part of the established literary tradition, but that is still, at the same time, is indebted to it.

AbstractFictional entertainment accounts for a large share of the overall media content and is very popular with the audience. It is highly diverse in form and content, and differs, for example, regarding media type, genre, and target group. Fictional entertainment comprises novels (e.g., thriller, romance), comic books, TV series (e.g., crime series, daily soaps, medical shows, political drama), children’s programs, feature films, cartoons, box office hits, audio plays, etc. Research on fictional entertainment typically concentrates on audiovisual productions, i.e. TV series and movies.

Full textAbstract:
This essay examines how twentieth century Iranian readers situated Jane Eyre within the classical genre of romance literature (adabiyāt-i ʿāshiqāna), originating from the tradition of love narratives in verse (ʿishq-nāma) pioneered by the twelfth century Persian poet Nizami Ganjevi. While romance is only one among several of the original Jane Eyre’s modes of generic belonging, the translation and reception of Jane Eyre into Persian facilitated the novel’s generic recalibration. We show how the prohibition on romance literature following the 1979 Iranian revolution paved the way for foreign classics such as Jane Eyre to be read as romances in the classical sense of the term.

Abstract This chapter tracks the rise of the historical novel in Hitler’s Germany, and in the literature, forged in response, of the communist anti-fascist movement. It explains how the promotion of Bolshevik nationalism inside the Soviet Union and of the Popular Front among national sections of the Communist International established the ideological framework for a fiction that would celebrate national traditions of popular struggle and contest fascist claims to narrate the same. From Bahia, Brazil, to Bihar in Eastern India, communist-aligned writers rallied to the call to reclaim the people’s past and give it popular fictional form. The chapter chronicles how British writers adopted the form and embeds their novels in the wider historical culture of the British Communist Party to reveal the connections between literary and more scholarly attempts to write history from below. The chapter closes by linking the communist investment in radical social history to early definitions of a Latin American ‘marvellous’ or ‘magical’ realism.

Chapter one introduces the Jewish novellas of the Apocrypha: Esther in its Greek form, Tobit, Judith, and the additions to Daniel: Susanna, Prayer of Azariah and Song of the Three, and Bel and the Dragon. Third Maccabees, although written like a history, is also included here since it is more of a novella than a history. The superficial similarity between histories and novellas, in fact, reveals part of the method of the novella: what seems at first like a prose narrative of real events was actually likely fiction and intended as entertainment. Similarities to the court narrative genre and to the somewhat later Greek novels are also noted. Other Jewish and non-Jewish texts, not part of the Apocrypha, are also compared, such as the later Joseph and Aseneth, Tales of the Persian Court and Prayer of Nabonidus from Qumran, satires such as Testament of Abraham, novelistic histories such as Artapanus’s On Moses, Tobiad Romance and Royal Family of Adiabene from Josephus’s Antiquities, and from outside Judaism, Story of Ahikar, Alexander Romance, Ninus Romance, and Life of Aesop.

Full textAbstract:
Despite the conservative plot of the Backfisch book and its reliance on heterosexual marriage as the marker of successful maturation, the focus on these stories is not the courtship that leads to marriage, but a world of women and girls supervised by single, adult women who are financially, socially, and intellectually independent. These novels for girls return to the tradition of Sarah Fieldings’ The Governess and the role of storytelling to teach intimate connection between author and reader and to provide examples of girls and women living in nurturing communities. The protagonist’s journey away from home (and her mother’s care) allows her and the reader to see that women who are not biological mothers can provide valuable othermothering. The embodied intimacy of shared mothering challenges the assumption that heterosexual or Christian romance will be the primary form of love in a girl’s life and provides an alternative to essentialist conceptions of motherhood.

Abstract If Jessie Fauset and Nella Larsen are transitional figures whose novels form a bridge between the literary passionlessness of the 1890s and the sexual openness of the modern t:ra, Zora Neale Hurston is a pivotal point whose texts traverse the terrain between concern with the politics of sexuality, often covertly expressed in the fiction of black women writers of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and the openly scathing critiques of erotic relations as the root of female oppression which characterize the contemporary black feminist text. But while critics have privileged Hurston’s Their Eyes Were Watching God as the premier black feminist novel, in part because of its critique of the institution of marriage, few texts in the entire history of African American women’s fiction depict matrimony and childbearing as woman’s ruination more dramatically than Larsen’s Quicksand. Helga Crane, the novel’s troubled, sensual heroine, ultimately surrenders herself to and satisfies her sexual hunger through what seems the only legitimate outlet for that “nameless, shameful impulse”: marriage.

While Mitchell was offhand about his imaginative romances, they are viewed here as more than just potboilers whose brand of utopian idealism was designed to garner widespread popularity. On the contrary, Mitchell employs a lightweight fiction form to promote key themes about society, human nature and historical evolution. Two of his fantasy novels are explored as classic time-travel yarns of Voyage and Return. The first of these, Three Go Back, invokes a natural Golden Age of the prehistoric past untrammelled by civilised values, while his last fantasy Gay Hunter constitutes a darker dystopian narrative informed by the contemporary rise of fascism in Europe. The intermediate romance The Lost Trumpet is appraised as a classic example of the popular genre of the Quest, an early form of magical realism set in Egypt in which pressing socio-political themes are addressed within the framing fantasy of an archaeological search for Joshua’s talismanic trumpet of Old Testament legend. Ultimately the fantasy form is viewed as uncongenial to Mitchell’s literary aspirations, although his formal experimentation in these novels was important to his literary development.

This chapter introduces two popular romance novels (romanzi rosa) by Luciana Peverelli. Published while the occupation of Rome was unfolding, La lunga notte (1944; The Long Night) and its sequel Sposare lo straniero (1946; Marry the Foreigner) treat those traumas using a hybrid form that results in arguably the earliest Italian fictional Holocaust narrative that represents the deportation of the Jews to camps and the Fosse Ardeatine massacre; unconscious of how its own anti-Semitic logic facilitates the deportation that it condemns, La lunga notte’s paradoxical treatment of Judaism aligns with dominant postwar Italian attitudes. Set during the Allied occupation, the sequel argues for the hybrid genre’s privileged position in narrating the transition back to “reality,” when the heroines become war brides, an often-vilified figure who proves an adept intercultural intermediary. Challenging preconceptions of the romance, La lunga notte and Sposare lo straniero alter the requisite happy ending for those “redeemed” by marriage.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter aims at a Bakhtinian account that does justice to the insight of Ian Watt that a new form emerged in eighteenth-century fiction, reflected in the term “novel”. However, this development was hardly unprecedented: novelistic fiction had already appeared at least twice, in Renaissance Spain and the Roman empire. Various eighteenth-century English novels are canonical examples of the genre, but their genealogy can be traced back to antiquity, illuminating what distinguishes novelistic discourse and what is or is not modern about it. Ancient examples of novelistic fiction (e.g., Apuleius and Petronius) can be generically distinguished from Greek romance. Novelistic fiction has been invented more than once, and its earliest examples provide interesting precedents for what have been considered among the modern novel’s distinguishing features—such as contemporaneity and certain kinds of realism.

This opening chapter traces a modernist genealogy for the poetics of consolation in contemporary writing. It considers the way Virginia Woolf probed in self-contesting fashion the consolations of experimental form. The legacy of her arguments with the redemptive efficacy of aesthetic form in To the Lighthouse (1927) becomes evident even in contemporary novels that maintain a combative stance towards modernism itself. Ian McEwan’s Atonement (2001) is one such text: a genre-medley of wartime romance and high-modernist pastiche that dissects the ethical ramifications of solace as a contentious aspect of artistic reparation, especially when that reparative impulse also turns out to be a morally compromised stimulus for artistic creativity.

Just as form follows function, so does the graphic novel form follow the story as Nora Krug reveals her own family’s past. Krug deals with different forms of the concept of home to answer the question: How do you know who you are, if you don’t understand where you come from? Forms of the reflective concept of homeland follow their function in Krug’s graphic novel, i. e. the graphic side is determined by the function to convey the past using a lot of documentary material. She answers what it means for her generation to be a German, who feels guilty about the events of the 20th century at home and abroad.

An attempt is made to further explore the effects of transmediation (Elleström 2017) and intermediale Aufpfropfung (Wirth 2006) at the narrative perspective level. The key question, which is addressed based on an analysis of selected theatrical adaptations, is: What effects does transmediation and intermediale Aufpfropfung have on the perception of the literary-theatrical (filmic) text on the narrative level? And further: Which intermedial transfers come into play on the narrative level and which narrative factors of the original are suppressed during the adaptation process?

The paper deals with particularities of children’s novel as a literary genre and its reception in primary school. It also raises the question whether the genre primarily evolved with a tendency to be intended for young readers or children eventually became the main recipients. The dynamism of artistic narration and unusual motifs are highlighted as the most recognizable features of a quality novel for children, which greatly influences its reliable reception at almost all age levels.

The continuous development of the internet, the wide availability of online services, as well as the intuitive, facile, and almost instantaneous utilization of available data from the virtual environment have generated an incredible dissemination of information. These elements have also brought people closer, have cancelled borders and traditional barriers between states and have facilitated a novel manner of socialization. At the same time and in an equal facile manner, the internet has also generated specific problems, some of which are yet unresolved. A problem that requires an urgent solution is the serious infringement of copyright and ownership rights. The copy/paste phenomenon has been gaining ground and the ways to control it are not efficient. The main effects are the inhibition of creativity, superficial research and supporting plagiarism. On the other hand, the Internet has radically transformed the media and at this moment there is no single viable business model for the media exclusively on the Internet. Copyright becomes an issue that must be fundamentally solved in the new circumstances of the Internet. Thus, a balance must be reached between free and purchased information. This article aims to identify new solutions, more adequate and more efficient, through which the plagiarism phenomenon is reduced. A synthetic vision on the copy / paste phenomenon is showcased, vision which highlights the results and their impact over current research activities and on scholars' creativity. Thus, the necessity to promote and consolidate ethical dimensions towards ownership, by means of proper referencing of the research works that was appealed to (i.e., free or purchased information), is argued.

Full textAbstract:
With the technological boom of the twentieth century that intertwined politically with the growing assertion of liberal ideas about a minimal state, having as attributes the provision of services to citizens paying taxes, the concept of "Government" has undergone significant changes. Information technology has been the new challenge of the world economy for several decades. Rapid progress in this area is increasingly influencing the way we live and work. Through the profound impact on society, the phenomenon is unanimously appreciated as a feature of the new industrial revolution "information society". E-Government is important for both OECD and EU member states. The usefulness of this activity is necessary for public institutions, private agencies, where different alternatives must be chosen for the implementation of projects or e-Government activity. The advance towards the information society, based on knowledge is considered, at a global level, as a necessary evolution for ensuring sustainable development in the context of the new economy, based on products and intellectual-intensive activities. The novelty of the new society is the speed with which knowledge is renewed (the volume of knowledge available doubles every five years). The article aims to identify the main elements of novelty in the IT sphere at government level, a component of great notoriety in the context of globalization.

The influence of cultural globalization on language of literature is most intensive in literature for children, which has characteristics of digital natives’ language. This paper deals with the language of the novel Leto kad sam naučila da letim by Jasminka Petrović. The main goal of the research is to examine linguistic and stylistic features in which the influence of English as a global language, digitalization and mass media is reflected. The problem of linguistic diversity has not been given enough attention in previous analysis dedicated to the analyzed novel. The aim of the paper is to single out linguistic and stylistic characteristics of the novel Leto kad sam naučila da letim, which are a consequence of cultural globalization. Along with global cultural homogenization, there is a strengthening of national consciousness and the rise of national cultures. The paper deals with how the process of localization of the global, i.e. glocalization, is manifested in the speech of the characters of the analyzed novel

Full textAbstract:
The emergence of food-borne illness outbreaks linked to the contamination of fruits and vegetables is a great concern in industrialized countries. The current lack of control measures and effective sanitization methods prompt the need for new strategies to reduce contamination of produce. Our ability to assess the risk associated with produce contamination and to devise innovative control strategies depends on the identification of critical determinants that affect the growth and the persistence of human pathogens on plants. Salmonella enterica, a common causal agent of illness linked to produce, has the ability to colonize and persist on plants. Thus, our main objective was to identify plant-inducible genes that have a role in the growth and/or persistence of S. enterica on postharvest lettuce. Our findings suggest that in-vitro biofilm formation tests may provide a suitable model to predict the initial attachment of Salmonella to cut-romaine lettuce leaves and confirm that Salmonella could persist on lettuce during shelf-life storage. Importantly, we found that Salmonella association with lettuce increases its acid-tolerance, a trait which might be correlated with an enhanced ability of the pathogen to pass through the acidic barrier of the stomach. We have demonstrated that Salmonella can internalize leaves of iceberg lettuce through open stomata. We found for the first time that internalization is an active bacterial process mediated by chemotaxis and motility toward nutrient produced in the leaf by photosynthesis. These findings may provide a partial explanation for the failure of sanitizers to efficiently eradicate foodborne pathogens in leafy greens and may point to a novel mechanism utilized by foodborne and perhaps plant pathogens to colonize leaves. Using resolvase in vivo expression technology (RIVET) we have managed to identify multiple Salmonella genes, some of which with no assigned function, which are involved in attachment to and persistence of Salmonella on lettuce leaves. The precise function of these genes in Salmonella-leaf interactions is yet to be elucidated. Taken together, our findings have advanced the understanding of how Salmonella persist in the plant environment, as well as the potential consequences upon ingestion by human. The emerging knowledge opens new research directions which should ultimately be useful in developing new strategies and approaches to reduce leaf contamination and enhance the safety of fresh produce.
