In this anthology, scholars from a range of disciplines engage with — and problematize — the rhetorical approach to fictionality. Analyses of literature, commercials, graphic memoirs, political speeches, and a public municipality provide testing grounds for the concept, and the volume’s organization facilitates discussion and reflection among its contributors. The analyses are bookended by an opening chapter with a primarily theoretical focus and two closing chapters which critically engage with one another on theoretical issues while offering reflections on the analyses from a rhetorical perspective. Together, the contributions in this volume conceptualize, discuss, and test the concept of fictionality through a range of scholarly perspectives.
