This article examines the literary series of Inquisitore Eymerich by Valerio Evangelisti, a variegated macronarrative, which, resisting generic classification, introduces innovation to the panorama of contemporary Italian fantasy. Departing from the analysis of the salient features of the series such as intertextuality, hybridization, storiographic metafiction, and transfictionality, the article examines closely the areas of postmodern narration and inquires into the role of the fantastic element in Italian literature. Evangelisti makes the most of postmodern narrative strategies and of fantasy’s ability to penetrate various media in order to provide a tool of critical reflection on human history with an emphasis on the phenomenology of power. By interweaving different literary genres and inviting readers to produce their own interpretations in form of fan fiction, Evangelisti creates a new type of committed narrative, post-fantasy, which presents a new conception of postmodern narrative, one that overcomes the barrier between the literary fiction and the genre fiction.

EDGAR ALLAN POE ET LA FICTION MEURTRIÈRE

In the 20th century, Edgar Allan Poe’ s poem, The Raven, was the starting point for many film adaptations. In 2012, director James McTeigue gave us one more, based on Hannah Shakespeare & Ben Livingstone’s script, with John Cusach in the role of Poe. In the latest production, Edgar Allen Poe himself is facing, in his real life, the atrocities that came out of his imagination. Our intention is to show the challenges of the film and the implications at the aesthetic level and at the level of reception.

The post-modern gothic simultaneously makes reference to already well-grounded experience, such as the repertoire of motifs and narrative prefigurations which have entered the artistic canon of the convention for good. A lot of figures and characters identified with horror become a part of the transfictional process of allocating them in new settings and re-designing their fictional biographies. Although in TV series reinterpretations of classical literary narratives quite often focus on instilling a positive image of erstwhile impersonation of numinosum, they do offer in return a construal of more contemporaneous fears, aligned with today’s socio-political-economic landscape. This article will include the following series based on literary prototypes representing the very canon of gothic fiction: Dracula, Penny Dreadful, Jekyll and Hyde, Second Chance and Sleepy Hollow as well as elements of productions connected with literary narrations of horror, such as Once Upon a Time.

The article Facets of Transfictionality delivers a concise analysis of the newly-introduced narratological concept of “transfictionality” (put forward by Richard Saint-Gelais in the early 2000s). The author discusses the phenomenon as emerging on the border between the text-centred poetics of classical narratology and the world-centred poetics of postclassical narratology by use of Jan-Noël Thon’s and Marie-Laure Ryan’s project of “media-conscious narratology”. Defined as such, transfictionality allows the contemporary phenomena of retelling or cross-over to be described without the necessity of reproducing fan-made concepts and terms of such ilk, and instead rooting them in established theoretical constructs, such as narrative metalepsis. Consequently, the article illustrates the postclassical theory of narrative and the theory of literature with examples more common to media studies, with the aim being to emphasise Ryan’s thesis that transmediality is only a specific case of transfictionality, and that the latter is a far older and better acknowledged concept what is generally understood as the theory of fiction. Moreover, the text follows up on Saint-Gelais’ inspirations derived from Umberto Eco’s cultural semiotics and proposes to introduce an Eco-inspired concept of “xeno-encyclopaedic competence” in order to determine a specific recipient’s competence that allows them to move across not only media or texts but also imaginary worlds, which consequently become their fictional habitats.

The article tackles the problem of fictional (constructed) literature termed by Paweł Dunin-Wąsowicz ‘spectral’. Reading through Arturo Pérez-Reverte’s The Club Dumas, Susanna Clarke’s Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norell, and J.K. Rowling’s three works alluding to the Harry Potter cycle, the author proceeds with describing a tendency observed in postmodern fiction, namely, (1) creating fictional artefacts transgressing the borders of fictional world, and (2) constructing libraries within this very world which collect fictional texts imitating the factual ones.

This article attempts to introduce and explain the concept of transfictionality. The scholarship in this area developed in francophone literary studies. The main reason for its formation appears to have been the need for a new concept that would develop and supplement the theory of intertextuality. In that theory’s collision with certain literary phenomena (though all domains of art can be taken into consideration here) the intellectual perspective exhausted itself and its tools ceased to be effective.  The text focuses on the book Fictions transfuges by Richard Saint-Gelais, and attempts to sketch out and discuss such procedures as expansion, versions, crossings and incorporations. Not only the examples provided by the Canadian theorist, but also their substance and heft, are outlined. The author of this article has initiated the active use of a new terminological constellation in Polish literary studies.

Artykuł jest próbą wprowadzenia i wyjaśnienia pojęcia transfikcjonalności. Badania w tej dziedzinie rozwinęły się w literaturoznawstwie francuskojęzycznym. Główną przyczyną ich zapoczątkowania wydaje się być potrzeba nowej koncepcji, która stanowiłaby rozwinięcie i uzupełnienie teorii międzystekstowych. W zderzeniu z niektórymi zjawiskami literackimi (brane pod uwagę mogą być wszelkie domeny sztuki) perspektywa intertekstualna wypaliła się – jej narzędzia przestały być efektywne. Tekst opiera się na książce Richarda Saint-Gelais, Fictions transfuges i w szkicowy sposób próbuje omówić takie zabiegi jak expansion (rozszerzanie), versions (wersje) czy croisement et annexions (skrzyżowania i przyłączenia). Przybliżona została nie tylko egzemplifikacja kanadyjskiego badacza. Autor artykułu aktywował nową siatkę terminologiczną na gruncie polskiej literatury.

Theatre practitioners’ statements relating to the notion of truth lead to the category of post-truth. Stage of discursive truth and post-truth article discusses theatre practice of engaging feelings, impressions and emotions to take precedence over interpretations, assessments and descriptions of facts. The article critically approaches using of media discourses in theatre in order to produce the imitation of truth. The author refers to Agnieszka Jakimiak’s and Weronika Szczawińska’s play Wojny, których nie przeżyłam [Wars I have not experienced] and other selected recent Polish plays and performances. The thesis connects the media-shaped image of Polish theatre art institution seen as an area of provocation with an experience of a viewer and an ontological status of an actor. This allows drawing a conclusion that theatre uses the category of truth instrumentally, as one of its repertoire’s tools to provoke emotional reactions in the audience. Theatre performances allow one to explore the world, but also to co-create it. The theatre is a performative and cognitive sieve provoking and shaping experience that affects reality.
