This volume is co-edited by the director of the Freiburg graduate school
"Factual and Fictional Narration" (GRK 1767, Freiburg/Germany) and the
director of the Aarhus Centre for Fictionality Studies (University of
Aarhus, DK). The collection of essays re-examines the much discussed
fact―fiction distinction in light of the current burgeoning of research
on fictionality. It provides a forum for ongoing work on fictionality
from France, Germany and Denmark and Sweden. By placing discussions of
the notion of fictionality in one volume, the editors hope to initiate
exchange between the different traditions represented in the essays und
to help the task of translating the available concepts and terminologies
so they can travel between different models and theoretical frameworks.
