Based on a corpus comprising online bank advertisements shown in the UK and Serbia, this paper aims at describing the most frequent ways of creating puns and classifying them based on their predominant structure. The function of puns in advertising is explained from the perspective of Sperber and Wilson’s relevance theory (1995) and the behavioural AIDA model. This paper also tries to reveal whether the formal and semantic aspects of lexical units are exploited in British and Serbian bank offers, and whether there are any language- and culture-specific features in terms of punning.
本文以一个包含英国和塞尔维亚网上银行广告的语料库为基础,旨在描述最常见的双关语创造方式,并根据其主要结构对其进行分类。从Sperber和Wilson的关联理论(1995)和行为AIDA模型的角度来解释双关语在广告中的作用。本文还试图揭示英国和塞尔维亚银行报价中词汇单位的形式和语义方面是否得到了利用,以及双关语方面是否存在语言和文化特征。

Sci-fi, Cli-fi or Speculative Fiction: Genre and Discourse in Margaret Atwood’s “Three Novels I Won’t Write Soon” 科幻、气候变化小说还是投机小说:玛格丽特·阿特伍德《我不会马上写的三部小说》的体裁与话语

Margaret Atwood’s short prose piece, “Three Novels I Won’t Write Soon,” poses a conundrum for anyone seeking to place it within a genre. With features of science fiction, speculative fiction and a postmodern prose poem, the text addresses the topic of climate change and its concomitant fiction without offering closure. After examining and attempting to resolve the issue of genre, the paper aligns Atwood’s discourse of indeterminacy with the parallel discourse of climate change as expressed in science writing, in order to account for this text’s unusual structural and stylistic features.
玛格丽特·阿特伍德(Margaret Atwood)的短篇散文《我不会很快写的三部小说》(Three novel I Won’t Won Soon Write)给任何想把它归入某种体裁的人提出了一个难题。具有科幻小说,投机小说和后现代散文诗的特点,文本解决了气候变化及其相关小说的主题,但没有提供结尾。在研究并试图解决体裁问题之后,本文将阿特伍德的不确定性话语与科学写作中表达的气候变化平行话语结合起来,以解释这篇文章不同寻常的结构和风格特征。

Gaiman, Banks and Miéville – Hybrid Space and Genre Gaiman, Banks和misamuville -混合空间和类型
Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2018-06-25 DOI: 10.4312/elope.15.1.99-110
Urša Vogrinc Javoršek
The analysis of three recent British novels: Neil Gaiman’s Neverwhere (1996), Iain Banks’ Transition (2009) and China Miéville’s The City & the City (2009) strives to uncover structural parallelisms and the inherent evolution in their development, plot structuring and presentation. It is centred on the exhibited relation to the structure and general mechanics of space. The interpretations of space are based on Foucault’s heterotopias, the rhizome of Deleuze and Guattari, and Certeau’s absent space, which show how the active force of space and the complexity of the genre identity are interconnected, and how they interact with the social and political engagement of the works and their wider cultural and social context. These seminal works of the British Boom provide a rich source material for an outline of the process of interplay of genre identity and political engagement, and an overview of how this interplay affects their plot, style and the protagonists.
本文通过对尼尔·盖曼的《Neverwhere》(1996)、伊恩·班克斯的《Transition》(2009)和中国·米姆萨维尔的《City & The City》(2009)这三部英国小说的分析,试图揭示结构上的相似性以及它们在发展、情节结构和表现上的内在演变。它集中于展示与空间结构和一般力学的关系。对空间的解读以福柯的异托位、德勒兹和瓜塔里的根茎、塞托的缺席空间为基础,展示了空间的积极力量和类型认同的复杂性是如何相互联系的,以及它们如何与作品的社会和政治参与及其更广泛的文化和社会背景相互作用。这些英国繁荣时期的开创性作品为流派认同和政治参与相互作用的过程提供了丰富的素材,并概述了这种相互作用如何影响它们的情节、风格和主角。

Dystopias Go Global: The Transnational Reorganization of Territories and Societies in Elysium 反乌托邦走向全球:极乐空间中领土和社会的跨国重组
Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2018-06-25 DOI: 10.4312/elope.15.1.111-125
Pablo Gómez Muñoz
This article argues that at the turn of the twenty-first century science fiction (SF) cinema has begun to show particular interest in transnational interactions and cosmopolitan concerns. The article focuses on one of the most representative groups of this trend: dystopias that explore the transnational systems that shape deeply unequal societies. The first part of the article provides an overview of the different transnational issues that contemporary dystopias deal with. The article then presents the film Elysium (Neill Blomkamp, 2013) as a representative example of this trend. The analysis of Elysium sheds light on several socioeconomic and territorial processes that are shaping the development of neoliberal globalization in the twenty-first century: extraterritorial operations, market incorporation, and the reorganization and superposition of borders. The article concludes that Elysium and similar films at first appear to criticize a set of structures and practices that prevent large numbers of people from living in decent conditions, but eventually reproduce the same circumstances and hierarchies that they appear to denounce.
本文认为,在21世纪之交,科幻电影开始对跨国互动和世界性的关注表现出特别的兴趣。本文关注的是这一趋势中最具代表性的群体之一:反乌托邦,他们探索塑造了严重不平等社会的跨国体系。文章的第一部分概述了当代反乌托邦所涉及的不同跨国问题。文章然后提出了电影极乐空间(尼尔布洛姆坎普,2013)作为这一趋势的代表性例子。对极乐空间的分析揭示了塑造21世纪新自由主义全球化发展的几个社会经济和领土进程:域外运作、市场整合以及边界的重组和叠加。这篇文章的结论是,《极乐空间》和类似的电影起初似乎批评了一套阻止大量人生活在体面条件下的结构和做法,但最终再现了它们所谴责的同样的环境和等级制度。

On the Apocalypse that No One Noticed 没人注意到的天启
Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2018-06-25 DOI: 10.4312/ELOPE.15.1.9-16
Mojca Krevel
“[W]hat if they gave an apocalypse and nobody noticed?” was the question that Brooks Landon (1991, 239) proposed as the central thematic concern of the 1980s cyberpunk – a movement which today represents a landmark in the development of the science fiction genre. Diverse as they are in their focus and scope, the contributions to this issue of ELOPE, dedicated to the position and role of speculative fiction, and especially science fiction, in a world which is increasingly becoming speculative and science fictional, invariably demonstrate that an apocalypse did indeed take place and went by largely unnoticed.
“如果他们给了一个世界末日,而没有人注意到呢?”这是布鲁克斯·兰登(1991,239)提出的问题,是20世纪80年代赛博朋克运动的核心主题——赛博朋克运动在今天代表着科幻小说类型发展的一个里程碑。尽管它们的焦点和范围各不相同,但对这期《私奔》的贡献,致力于投机小说,尤其是科幻小说,在一个越来越投机和科幻的世界里的地位和作用,无一例外地表明,世界末日确实发生了,而且在很大程度上被忽视了。

The (Ir)Relevance of Science Fiction to Non-Binary and Genderqueer Readers 科幻小说与非二元和性别酷儿读者的相关性
Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2018-06-25 DOI: 10.4312/ELOPE.15.1.51-67
Anamarija Šporčič
As an example of jean Baudrillard’s third order of simulacra, contemporary science fiction represents a convenient literary platform for the exploration of our current and future understanding of gender, gender variants and gender fluidity. The genre should, in theory, have the advantage of being able to avoid the limitations posed by cultural conventions and transcend them in new and original ways. In practice, however, literary works of science fiction that are not subject to the dictations of the binary understanding of gender are few and far between, as authors overwhelmingly use the binary gender division as a binding element between the fictional world and that of the reader. The reversal of gender roles, merging of gender traits, androgynous characters and genderless societies nevertheless began to appear in the 1960s and 1970s. This paper briefly examines the history of attempts at transcending the gender binary in science fiction, and explores the possibility of such writing empowering non-binary/genderqueer individuals.
作为让·鲍德里亚第三阶拟像的一个例子,当代科幻小说为探索我们当前和未来对性别、性别变异和性别流动性的理解提供了一个方便的文学平台。从理论上讲,这种类型应该具有能够避免文化习俗所带来的限制,并以新颖和原创的方式超越它们的优势。然而,在实践中,不受性别二元理解支配的科幻文学作品寥寥无几,因为作者绝大多数都将二元性别划分作为虚构世界与读者世界之间的约束因素。然而,在20世纪60年代和70年代,性别角色的逆转、性别特征的融合、雌雄同体的角色和无性别社会开始出现。本文简要考察了科幻小说中试图超越性别二元的历史,并探讨了这种写作赋予非二元/性别酷儿个体权力的可能性。

Human “ish”: Voices from Beyond the Grave in Contemporary Narratives 人类的“ish”:当代叙事中坟墓之外的声音
Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2018-06-11 DOI: 10.4312/ELOPE.15.1.83-97
Heather Duncan
This essay examines three contemporary genre narratives that explore the concept of life after death: an amateur digital “creepypasta” posted on Reddit, an episode of the television series Black Mirror, and Paul La Farge’s 2017 novel The Night Ocean. Using these narratives to explore nearfuture death rituals, transhumanist consciousness preservation, and the role of genre fiction in exposing the instability of narratives and the distributed nature of agency in digital environments, I argue that coping with the unprecedented complexity of life in the digital age requires a reevaluation of what constitutes the self, the human, and the extent to which the narratives that inform these boundaries are permeable and capable of acting with their own agency.
本文考察了三种探讨死后生命概念的当代类型叙事:Reddit上发布的一份业余数字“毛骨悚然的意大利面”,电视剧《黑镜》的一集,以及保罗·拉法奇2017年的小说《夜海》。通过这些叙事来探索不久的将来的死亡仪式,超人类主义意识的保存,以及类型小说在揭示数字环境中叙事的不稳定性和代理的分布式本质方面的作用,我认为,要应对数字时代前所未有的生活复杂性,需要重新评估什么构成了自我,人类,以及这些界限的叙述在多大程度上是可渗透的,能够以自己的代理发挥作用。

Iain M. Banks – Human, Posthuman and Beyond Human Iain M. Banks -人类,后人类和超越人类
Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2018-06-11 DOI: 10.4312/ELOPE.15.1.69-81
A. Leach
Iain M. Banks has been at the forefront of the space opera science fiction scene since the publication of the first Culture novel, Consider Phlebas, in 1987. Upon Banks’ death in 2013, the culture series became a complete body of work. Whilst some criticism has focused on the social and political implications of the culture universe, little has engaged with the philosophical concepts that underpin it in relation to the current debate regarding our posthuman future. This paper seeks to show how Banks problematises the relationship between the human and posthuman through an exploration of the representation of the posthuman body. Furthermore, it also seeks to address the implications of current concepts of what it means to be human by exploring the relationship between the posthuman and form of Artificial Intelligence that Banks presents. to illustrate these arguments, three culture texts will be discussed: The Player of Games (1988), Excession (1996), and “The State of the Art” (1989).
自从1987年第一部文化小说《考虑菲莱巴斯》出版以来,伊恩·m·班克斯一直站在太空歌剧科幻小说的最前沿。2013年班克斯去世后,这个文化系列成为了一个完整的作品。虽然一些批评集中在文化宇宙的社会和政治含义上,但很少涉及支撑文化宇宙的哲学概念,这些概念与当前关于我们后人类未来的辩论有关。本文试图通过探索后人类身体的表征来展示班克斯如何提出人类与后人类之间的关系问题。此外,它还试图通过探索后人类与班克斯提出的人工智能形式之间的关系来解决当前人类概念的含义。为了说明这些观点,我们将讨论三个文化文本:《游戏玩家》(1988)、《过度》(1996)和《艺术现状》(1989)。

The Gravity of Cartoon Physics; or, Schrödinger’s Coyote 论卡通物理的引力或者,Schrödinger的Coyote
Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2018-04-25 DOI: 10.4312/ELOPE.15.1.29-49
V. Kennedy
When Wile E. coyote goes off a cliff, instead of falling in a parabolic arc, he comes to a halt in mid-air, hangs there until he realizes that he is no longer on solid ground, then falls. Many critics and, indeed, the creators of the cartoons themselves, describe this as “cartoon physics,” which breaks the rules that appear to govern the real world, but several principles of modern physics are in fact depicted here. He is both falling and not falling; when he is able to observe his situation, the laws of quantum physics catch up with him. This, and the principle of relativity, govern the apparent paradoxes of the cartoon world. Although the coyote was, according to his creators, conceived as a parody of a modern scientist and played for laughs, he illustrates several paradoxes of modern science and the unease with which these are widely viewed. These cartoon physics have become a meme that has developed in later animated cartoons and live-action science fiction films, and is now even a part of modern-day science textbooks.
当Wile E.coyote从悬崖上掉下来时,他没有像抛物线一样摔倒,而是在半空中停了下来,一直悬在那里,直到他意识到自己不再在坚实的地面上,然后摔倒了。许多评论家,甚至是漫画的创作者,都将其描述为“漫画物理学”,它打破了似乎支配现实世界的规则,但事实上,这里描述了现代物理学的几个原则。他既在跌倒,也没有跌倒;当他能够观察到自己的处境时,量子物理定律就会跟上他的步伐。这一点,以及相对性原理,支配着卡通世界明显的悖论。尽管根据他的创作者的说法,这只郊狼被认为是对一位现代科学家的模仿,并被用来搞笑,但他展示了现代科学的几个悖论,以及人们对这些悖论的不安。这些卡通物理学已经成为一种模因,在后来的动画和真人科幻电影中发展起来,现在甚至成为现代科学教科书的一部分。

Australian Aboriginal SF – Blending Genre and Literary Fiction: A Review of Futuristic Worlds in Australian Aboriginal Fiction by Iva Polak 澳大利亚土著科幻小说——体裁与文学小说的融合:伊娃·波拉克对澳大利亚土著小说中未来世界的回顾
Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2018-04-18 DOI: 10.4312/ELOPE.15.1.129-131

The fact that Iva Polak’s monograph Futuristic Worlds in Australian Aboriginal Fiction is the first volume in Peter Lang’s World Science Fiction Studies series, edited by Sonja Fritzsche, is symbolic of the actual novelty and relevance of Polak’s work. It is, in fact, the first book-length study in English dedicated to the analysis of Australian Aboriginal fiction from the point of view of the theory of the fantastic.
