What if we could, instead, come up with an affirmative approach that takes stories seriously in their capacity to bring forth a ?substance? of their own? Iconic texts such as Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and its numerous adaptations stubbornly resist our attempts to classify them as mere representations of reality. Friederike Danebrock shows how these texts insist that we take them seriously as agents and interlocutors in our world- and culture-making activities. Drawing on this analysis, she develops a theory of narrative fiction as a generative practice. 606 $aLITERARY CRITICISM / Semiotics & Theory$2bisacsh 610 $aActor-Network-Theory. 610 $aBody. 610 $aBritish Studies. 610 $aFilm. 610 $aLiterary Studies. 610 $aLiterature. 610 $aNarrative. 610 $aNew Materialism. 610 $aOntology. 610 $aTheory of Literature. 615 7$aLITERARY CRITICISM / Semiotics & Theory. 676 $a741.5973 700 $aDanebrock$b Friederike, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01350533 712 02$aHeinrich-Heine Universität Düsseldorf$4fnd$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fnd 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910648571103321 996 $aOn Making Fiction$93088755 997 $aUNINA
