The literature of the Chinese diaspora in America is marked by a tension between ancestral Chinese traditional culture and the modernity of Western culture. This thesis explores diaspora theory, as elaborated by Stuart Hall, Homi Bhabha, Gabriel Sheffer and others to establish a framework for the analysis of key Chinese American literary works. Maxine Hong Kingston's seminal novel, The Woman Warrior (1975), will be analysed as an exemplary instance of diasporic identity, where the Chinese cultural heritage is reinterpreted and re-imagined from the point of view of an emancipated woman living in the West. A comparative analysis will be undertaken of Jade Snow Wong's The Fifth Chinese Daughter (1950) and Amy Tan's The Joy Luck Club (1989) to identify links between the writers who have grappled with various forms of diasporic identity in their works. An important part of this analysis is the representation and adaptation of Chinese folklore and traditional tales in Chinese American literary works.

This essay is about the relationship between the spatial reality and the imaginary reality in the auditory artwork The Missing Voice (case study b) by Janet Cardiff. The analysis is based on a semiotic model that differentiate between two types of signifieds; a denotative signified and a connotative signified. Those terms, with focus on connotation, is used in relation to sound and linguistic signs in the auditory reality of the artwork.
The first chapter “Den okroppsliga rösten” discusses the relationship between the several voices of fiction and the spatial reality in The Missing Voice (case study b). There are four versions of the voice of cardiff and two other masculine voices that reach out, through the auditory reality, to the participant of the artwork. The participant throws therefore between the spatial reality and the reality of fiction.
The second chapter “Den akustiska upplevelsen” discusses what happens when the aucoustic reality is in and out of sync with the spatial reality in The Missing Voice (case study b). When the two soundscapes, the real and the auditory, synchronize it’s difficult for the participant to separate between reality and fiction. Those recorded sounds originate from the spatial reality and therefore connotes this reality. Sometimes Cardiff refers to sounds that are invisible in the spatial reality, the soundscapes are then not in sync with each other, but still the sounds are so close to the spatial reality that they feel real.
The last chapter “Det imaginära rummet” is about the meeting between the real spatiality and the imaginäry. On many occations in the artwork the voice of Cardiff transforms the real room to a room from the past. Then her words connotations reinforces the experience of the presence of the imaginäry room in the real room.

The aim of our work is to understand, in a same analysis, the stories of science fiction and fantasy, to extract the transversal mechanisms and to propose, in a same time, a rereading and a hermeneutic. 333 We base our analysis on the hypothesis that the stories of science fiction and fantasy are “sacred stories” (Mircea Eliade) maintained, in the diegesis (fictional world), by a deus otiosus which is called by Marc Angenot, the absent paradigm. By mixing the works of Marc Angenot and Mircea Eliade, we propose the assumption that the diegesis contains a sacred that emerges (hierophanies) by many ways, and depends on the sensibility of the characters (Roger Caillois). However, we can observe recurrent frames (the origin, the paternity, the space, the prediction) and repetitive figures (the apocalypse, the cosmogony, the father, the mother, the landscape, the prophecy, etc.) that imply a social organization of the sacred (Hannah Arendt). In our second part, we observe the fluctuations (Gilles Deleuze, Félix Guattari ; Roger Caillois) of the sacred in the diegesis and we extract the constants and the variables about the time (Mircea Eliade ; Jean-Marie Grassin ; Jean-Paul Engélibert ; Niccholas Serruys), the space (Anna Bugajska ; Roger Caillois ; Hannah Arendt) and the justice (Roger Caillois ; Hélène Machinal ; Brian Attebery). So, the diegetic space is made up by sacred and profane which allows us to observe transversal mechanisms in the stories. Our last part, we apply the constants and the variables extracted from the second part and centred around the main character and his quest. We chose productions opposed by the critics to reread the division between the science fiction and the fantasy and to propose a new and common perspective, beyond the generic and temporal borders. So the disjunctive worlds appear like “sacred stories” with variables and constants that are a social metaphor of the sacred

s The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Philip Pullman&rsquo
s The Subtle Knife, the second book of his trilogy His Dark Materials, and J. K. Rowling&rsquo
s Harry Potter and the Philosopher&rsquo
s Stone. The novels will be analyzed in terms of their approaches toward the conventions of fairy tale, fantasy and romance
to this end, the novels are to be evaluated in relation to their concept of chronotope, and the quest of good versus evil. While the secondary world or multiple worlds presented are going to be analyzed in terms of their perception of time and space along with the presentation of the supernatural elements, the characters will be evaluated in terms of the common classification good versus evil. The main argument of this study concentrates on the gradual estrangement from the crystal clear distinctions of the fairy tale genre to a more shadowy, pessimistic, and ambivalent vision of the fantastic in the children&rsquo

The aim of this study is to investigate which factors that affect students interest and desire to read fiction and what strategies are used to motivate reading. In order to enable this study, fifteen students are interviewed in class five and their three teachers through a method called focus groups. Focus groups are an interview method that takes place in the participens per- sonal experiences and opinions. Participants in focus groups receive prior information about what should be discussed before and at the interview session. It is the participants discussions and reasoning that are important and then analysed and used as data for the exam project. The results of the study show that the participants reading of fiction is characterized by a variety of factors that should benefit from reading. The primary and most important factor for favouring the literary reading is the choice of fiction literature, it should preferably be appealing and exciting.

With this research it is our intention to identify and define the genre of the lateQing utopian novel from the close reading of a selection of Chinese novelswritten between 1902 and 1910. With the analysis of novels such as LiangQichao's Xin Zhongguo weilai ji (1902), Chen Tianhua's Shizi hou (1905), WuJianren's Xin shitou ji (1908) and Lu Shi'e's Xin Zhongguo (1910), we believethat such a literary genre can be considered both as a peculiar product of theclimate of socio-historical fragmentation that characterises the late Qingperiod, and as a useful lens for its understanding. The structure of this thesis isthat of a critical itinerary within the Chinese modern utopian imaginary. Thisitinerary is introduced by the translation of the short story Xinnian meng,written by Cai Yuanpei in 1905. The body of this research is divided into fivechapters: in the first one, the legitimacy of the generic category of “wutuobangxiaoshuo” as a viable critical tool is put under question; the second chapterconcerns the two unfinished novels by Liang Qichao and Chen Tianhua, whosecondition of “incompleteness” is adopted as metaphor for the understanding ofthe utopian construct; the third chapter concerns the relation between the lateQing utopian novel and its foreign models; while in the last two chapters, thecritical framework developed in previous sections of the thesis is applied to theclose reading of Wu Jianren's Xin shitou ji and Lu Shi'e's Xin Zhongguo, two ofthe most interesting novels written in this period

I endeavoured to study a phenomenon underlying contemporary speculative fiction (science fiction and fantasy): the creation of a ‘secondary world', to use J.R.R. Tolkien's phrasing. I had to solve two preliminary problems. First, the cultural and economic phenomenon that speculative fiction represents has a blurry outline, questions regarding genre delimitation and wider cultural problems (is speculative fiction defined only by a number of literary patterns, or by the whole cultural apparatus that goes with it?) being difficult to answer. Secondly, does the notion secondary worlds only apply to invented worlds that are entirely different or detached from the real world, or can it be applied to texts that take place at least partly in the real world, etc.? Speculative fiction being a diverse genre that has been steadily evolving for years, I have chosen to avoid giving definitive answers to those questions. Instead of looking for boundaries, I have tried to emphasise the various building blocks of secondary worlds in speculative fiction: the traditions of the genre authors rely on to convey their view of an original universe to their readers, in a dialogue between known elements used as a foundation and the idiosyncratic view of history, geography and the place of mankind in the particular secondary world developed by the author. In an attempt to open this study to the contemporary practice of world-building, I have concluded with the questions that speculative fiction authors face today: how to renew the tropes of the genre, how speculative fiction pervades other media, in particular the practices of fans
Romagnoli, Bethonico Marina. "IMAGE-FICTION, IMAGE-ACTION. Mise en jeu de la photographie contemporaine entre théorie des mondes possibles et théorie des actes d’image". Thesis, Paris 3, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019PA030034.
This research focuses on the possibility of applying the theories of possible worlds to the visual arts. First, an introduction to this theoretical universe is presented, starting from its foundational texts, as well as its application in literary studies, to the context of the visual arts. An introduction to speech act theories is also provided, in order to arrive at the field of image acts. Through a heterogeneous corpus, composed of contemporary photographs produced by artists of various nationalities, the categories of image-fiction and image-action are developed, articulating a theory of visual possible worlds. The dynamics between the image, the artist and the viewer, triggered by these two types of images, are then analyzed through the theory of image acts. Starting from a theoretical and image-based research method founded on complex thought, we explore the idea of a transmission of "ways of worldmaking", which emerges from an active image-fiction proposing an image play. The hypothesis worked on is that the act of self-denunciation of the image-fiction allows the viewer to find trails of the image’s manipulation, initiated by the artist's "fingere". Finally, the image-fiction – produced, manipulated – enacts a simulation of a fragment of a possible world as it presents other versions for the world of phenomena, for history and individuals. In this way, it opens up paths from fiction towards action, inviting the viewer to construct new collective contexts in the present
Imber, Thomas. "Poétique des mondes mythographiques : essai sur la bande dessinée de science-fiction et ses super-héros". Paris 3, 2007. http://www.theses.fr/2007PA030143.
This study of transauthorial literature (stories which are treated by more than one author (namely, Greek and Roman mythology and American super-hero comics) focuses on fictional worlds. It analyzes both the reception of established myth, determining the narrative structures and constraints which arise from the use of pre-existing fictional worlds and characters, and the tendancy towards the completeness of the ‘mythico-historic’ time of a given tradition. Questions of temporality, sequentiality, and simultaneity are addressed. There is an examination of the relation between a fictional world and the empirical world in determining genres, and the ideas of parallel worlds and historical divergence are examined as well. Historical perspectives of the three primary literatures studied (ancient mythology, science fiction, and superhero comics) are offered
