Superhuman Cognitions, Fourth Dimension and Speculative Comics Narrative : Panel Repetition in Watchmen and From Hell

2016

Abstract: This article investigates the use of repeating panels in relation to speculative fiction storytelling in graphic novels Watchmen and From Hell , written by Alan Moore and illustrated by Dave Gibbons and Eddie Campbell, respectively. Presenting the same panel several times over the course of the narrative is an expressive medium-specific narrative technique available only to comics. In the discussed graphic novels, panel repetition is used to represent the superhuman cognitions of the quantum powered superhero Dr. Manhattan, as well as the magical experiences of Sir William Gull, the homicidal madman behind the brutal Jack the Ripper murders in Victorian London. Both characters hav…

Engaging with film characters : Empirical study on the reception of characters in The Hobbit films

2017

Characters are important for the audience reception of films, but little empirical research on actual audiences has been conducted on the topic of character reception. Are characters important for all audiences, and if not, what are the possible reasons and implications? How do audiences construct their engagement with characters? I argue that in addition to elements in Murray Smith’s classic model, structure of sympathy, other elements should be included when studying character engagement. This article presents an empirical study on the reception of characters using the Nordic responses (4,879 total) drawn from the global audience survey on The Hobbit fantasy film trilogy (Jackson, An Unex…

Strange Tools and Dark Materials : Speculating Beyond Narratives with Philosophical Instruments

2022

Although Alva Noë’s Strange Tools: Art and Human Nature (2015) makes no direct reference to Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials trilogy (1995–2000), these otherwise dissimilar works share an astonishingly similar and current view of the mind: both Noë and Pullman construe cognition as embodied action that extends and reflects on its own possibilities through various instruments and technologies. For Noë, the key technology aiding this reaching of the mind is art; making and engaging with art is a self-reflexive endeavor that makes our activities available for closer examination and evaluation. By extension, works of speculative fiction could be read as illustrations of or investigations int…

Truth in Fiction Reconsidered

2018

Possible and narrative worlds are traditionally the most influential tools for explaining our understanding of fiction. One obvious implication of this is considering fiction as a matter of pretence. The theory I offer claims that it is a mistake to take truth as a substantial notion. This view rejects possible worlds and pretence as decisive features in dealing with fiction. Minimalist theory of fiction offers a solution that gives a way to combine a philosophical theory of meaning and views of literary theory. Narrative worlds approach saves its usefulness since its focus is more in the psychological process of reading. Minimalist theory of fiction is based on the minimal theory of truth …

Bionic Womanista Jessica Jonesiin : spekulatiivisen fiktion toimintasankarittaret ja representaation politiikka

2016

Arkirealismin ylittävä spekulatiivinen fiktio on viime vuosina vallannut alaa mediassa ja etenkin pohjoisamerikkalaisissa televisiosarjoissa, joissa seikkailee muiden muassa vampyyrejä, ihmissusia, zombeja, avaruusolentoja ja koneihmisiä. Spekulatiiviset sarjat kuuluvat usein seikkailu- ja toimintagenreen ja tarjoavat villejä taisteluita sekä tietenkin fantastisia sankareita. Lajityyppi on jo vuosikymmeniä avannut ovia useille toiminnallisille naissankareille, jotka ovat auttaneet kuvittelemaan naiseutta uudella tavalla ja ottaneet osaa naisten yhteiskunnallisen roolin muutokseen. peerReviewed
