{"product_id":"fiction-and-representation-9783110646801","title":"Fiction and Representation","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne of the basic insights of the book is that there is a notion of non-relational linguistic representation which can fruitfully be employed in a systematic approach to literary fiction. This notion allows us to develop an improved understanding of the ontological nature of fictional entities. A related insight is that the customary distinction between extra-fictional and intra-fictional contexts has only a secondary theoretical importance. This distinction plays a central role in nearly all contemporary theories of literary fiction. There is a tendency among researchers to take it as obvious that the contrast between these two types of contexts is crucial for understanding the boundary that divides fiction from non-fiction. Seen from the perspective of non-relational representation, the key question is rather how representational networks come into being and how consumers of literary texts can, and do, engage with these networks. As a whole, the book provides, for the first time, a comprehensive artefactualist account of the nature of fictional entities. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zoltán Vecsey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48262397559035,"sku":"9783110646801","price":160.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_a329b87d-b5e2-43dd-b70a-905c0a20749d.jpg?v=1778452825","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/fiction-and-representation-9783110646801","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
