E-BooksReading Digital Fiction



Reading Digital Fiction
Free Download Alice Bell, "Reading Digital Fiction "
English | ISBN: 0367626705 | 2024 | 218 pages | EPUB/pdf | 4 MB
Reading Digital Fiction offers the first comprehensive and systematic theoretical, methodological, and analytical examination of digital fiction from a cognitive and empirical perspective. Proposing the new concept of "medial reading", it argues for the centrality of an audience's interest in, awareness of and/or attention to the medium in which a text is produced and received, and which we argue should be applied to reader data across media. The book analyses and theorises five generations of digital fiction and their reading including hypertext fiction, hypermedia fiction, narrative video games, app fiction, and virtual reality. It showcases medium- and platform-specific methods of qualitative reader response research across a variety of contexts and settings from screen-based and embodied interaction to gallery installation, and from reading group and individual interview to think-aloud methodologies. The book thus addresses the unique affordances of digital fiction reading by designing and reporting on new empirical studies focusing on hypertextuality, interactivity, immersion, as well as medium-specific forms of textual "you", ontological ambiguity, reader orientation and empathy. In so doing, the book refines, critiques, and expands cognitive, transmedial, and empirical narratology and stylistics by placing the reader of these new narratives front and centre.

E-BooksNarratives of Disability and Illness in the Fiction of J. M. Coetzee



Narratives of Disability and Illness in the Fiction of J. M. Coetzee
Free Download Paweł Wojtas, "Narratives of Disability and Illness in the Fiction of J. M. Coetzee"
English | ISBN: 1399522574 | 2024 | 320 pages | PDF | 22 MB
This study offers a detailed analysis of the fiction of J. M. Coetzee, including the novels of the South African and Australian periods, to demonstrate the development of Coetzee's engagement with the complexities of non-normative embodiment. In this illuminating monograph, Paweł Wojtas demonstrates the extent to which Coetzee's multifaceted depictions of disability offer a sustained critique of the ableist implications of political violence and neoliberal inclusionism alike. Exploring a wide range of notions, such as ocularnormativism, mute speech, eco-disability, disability Gothic, dismodernism, autogerontography, and bibliotherapy, Wojtas shows how Coetzee's 'disabled textuality' provokes a sustained meditation on various forms of cultural denigration of disability experience.

Denise Jaden was part of that fraction, writing first drafts of her two published young adult novels during NaNoWriMo. In Fast Fiction, she shows other writers how to do what she did, step-by-step, writer to writer. Her process starts with a prep period for thinking through Description, theme, characters, and setting. Then Jaden provides day-by-day coaching for the thirty-day drafting period.

E-BooksZone Theory Science Fiction and Utopia in the Space of Possible Worlds



Zone Theory Science Fiction and Utopia in the Space of Possible Worlds
Free Download Alexander Popov, "Zone Theory: Science Fiction and Utopia in the Space of Possible Worlds "
English | ISBN: 180079438X | 2023 | 368 pages | EPUB / pdf | 2 MB
This book elaborates a structure for the general family of utopian genres with marvelous clarity, and with it established, Popov can pursue all kinds of further insights about the relationships between these texts. As the world's situation becomes more desperate, and the need for a new political economy more obvious, this complicated canon is becoming increasingly important: no longer just a minor literary genre, but rather a crucial aid to thinking about our social systems. The better we understand utopian narrative strategies, the more fully we can put them to use, so Popov's excellent study is timely and interesting.

E-BooksThe Zombie in Contemporary French Caribbean Fiction



The Zombie in Contemporary French Caribbean Fiction
Free Download Lucy Swanson, "The Zombie in Contemporary French Caribbean Fiction "
English | ISBN: 1802077995 | 2023 | 208 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Believed to have emerged in the French Caribbean based on African spirit beliefs, the zombie represents not merely the walking dead, but also a walking embodiment of the region's history and culture. In Haiti today, the zombie serves as an enduring memory of enslavement: it is defined as a reanimated body robbed of part of its soul, forced to work in sugarcane fields. In Martinique and Guadeloupe, the zombie takes the form of a shape-shifting evil spirit, and represents the dangers posed to the maroon or 'freedom runner.' The Zombie in Contemporary French Caribbean Fiction is the first book-length study of the literary zombie in recent fiction from the region. It examines how this symbol of the enslaved (and of the evil spirits that threaten them) is used to represent and critique new socio-political situations in the Caribbean. It also offers a comprehensive and focused examination of the ways contemporary authors from Haiti and the French Antilles contribute to the global zombie imaginary, identifying four 'avatars' of the zombie-the slave, the trauma victim, the horde, and the popular zombie-that appear frequently in fiction and anthropology, exploring how works by celebrated and popular authors reimagine these archetypes.
