Tim Berndtsson and Lisa Grahn (Doctoral students at the Department of Literature)

Attending to Fictional Characters: Imaginative Engagement and Metafictional Reflection

Tim Berndtsson and Lisa Grahn, doctoral students at the Department of Literature, introduce a discussion of Murray Smith’s article “On the Twofoldness of Characterâ€, New Literary History, Vol. 42, No. 2 (SPRING 2011), pp. 277–294. English is used throughout the seminar. A free copy of Smith’s article can be accessed at JSTOR by googling its title. This seminar inaugurates a new English-language series organized at the Department of Literature under the heading “Attending to Fictional Charactersâ€. Chaired by Torsten Pettersson, Professor of Literature, it will illuminate this question central to literary studies from a variety of vantage points. It will also consider other media, and indeed many of Smith’s examples are drawn from television and film. Participants in the seminar are invited to refer to examples of their own, literary or otherwise.
