Fictionality Fighting Superstition—Early Danish Novelists’ Engagement with Science
This article investigates the role of early Danish fiction in negotiating the epistemological shift from superstition to scientific rationality during the Enlightenment. Focusing primarily on Ludvig Holberg’s Niels Klim (1741) and Erik Pontoppidan’s Menoza (1742–43), it argues that eighteenth-century Danish novelists mobilized fictionality as a rhetorical strategy to promote science and contest irrational belief. Drawing on rhetorical fictionalit…

By examining the prefaces to the eighteenth-century Danish no…

En Seriøs Sprogteoretisk Fiktionalitetsdefinition
A SERIOUS LINGUISTIC DEFINITION OF FICTIONALITY | Fiction is often defined in terms of “something which does not exist” or “something related to art”. Richard Walsh, however, uses the term “fictionality” to describe a phenomenon which is not just seen as opposed to reality and not limited to generic genres such as movies, novels and short-stories. Fictionality is a feature which is not only ascribed to what we normally categorize as fiction, but …
