Kommentar/Beschreibung

When we hear fictionality, we tend to think of novels, feature films, comic books, and TV series; when we hear non-fictionality, we tend to think of politics, journalism, documentary films, and scientific communication. Recent research, especially in the field of rhetorical theory, has troubled the clarity of these distinctions, inviting us to consider fictionality and non-fictionality as modes of communication that cut across discourses, genre, and media. Moreover, this work asks us to understand both fictionality and non-fictionality as resources whose functions vary depending on context-specific use and historical circumstances. In the seminar, we are going to explore uses and combinations of fictionality and non-fictionality in a range of texts and contexts including the early novel, contemporary fiction, the documentary film, and non-literary discourses.

Participants are kindly asked to buy two novels: Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey (1818) and Ben Lerner's Leaving the Atocha Station (2011). All other course material is available on Stud.IP.
