- Title
Supragenological Types of Fiction versus Contemporary Non-Mimetic Literature.
- Authors
Trębicki, Grzegorz
- Abstract
This article elaborates on a model of supragenological types of fiction originally proposed by Andrzej Zgorzelski in the article "Is Science Fiction a Genre of Fantastic Literature?" (SFS 6.3 [Nov. 1979]: 296-303). It attempts to apply his model as a tool of taxonomical description to contemporary non-mimetic ("fantastic") fiction in all of its richness and diversity. In the initial part of the essay, Zgorzelski's theoretical assumptions are briefly summarized and explained. In the remainder of the essay, four non-mimetic supragenological categories--exomimetic literature, fantastic literature, antimimetic literature, and paramimetic literature--are discussed at some length and used as a source of reference for a preliminary analysis of a large group of texts.
