Stylistic Approaches to Global Speculative Fiction

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.

Vernieuwing is het wonder van jezelf

Soms, in de drukte van het dagelijks leven, kun je de behoefte voelen om een pas op de plaats te doen. Even afstand nemen van alles, om ruimte te maken voor reflectie en, indien gewenst, verandering. Dit moment van rust kan je helpen om oude patronen los te laten en om nieuwe keuzes te maken. Het kan een kans zijn om weer in contact te komen met wie je werkelijk bent en wat je diep van binnen verlangt. In een wereld die voortdurend in beweging is, biedt deze vernieuwing de mogelijkheid om je eigen koers te bepalen en daarmee weer in harmonie te leven met jezelf en met de mensen om je heen. Vernieuwing is niet alleen een verandering van omgeving, maar een innerlijke reis die je sterker, wijzer en authentieker maakt. Het is het wonder van jezelf opnieuw uitvinden, telkens weer, wanneer jij dit wenst.
