Full Description

This edited book engages with key concerns in contemporary stylistics, including mind style, text-worlds, deixis, metaphor, immersion, and readerly effects, while also exploring intersections with narratology, translation studies, and multimodality. Moving beyond Anglo-American canons, it brings together scholars from across the globe to examine speculative fiction within diverse cultural contexts, genres, languages, and media. Adopting a broadly inclusive understanding of the term speculative fiction as encompassing narrative modes that depart from consensus reality, the volume shifts the emphasis from predominantly thematic approaches towards the linguistic artistry of such altered worlds and minds, while remaining attentive to ideological tensions embedded within such stories. Interest in speculative fiction, its narrative strategies, its movement across languages and cultures, and the stylistic choices that shape readerly experience, has grown considerably across disciplines such as stylistics, narratology, translation studies, telecinematic and media studies, literary criticism, and genre theory. This book offers a comprehensive resource for academics working within these and related fields.
