The article focuses on the selected examples of the blurring of a book’s genre status by means of specifi c editorial solutions, such as the use of a spatial layout of the text, the differentiation of fonts, the selection of printing paper, the cover design etc. This mechanism is discussed on the example of six experimental works of contemporary Polish non-fi ction literature. Books by Filip Springer and Jarosław Mikołajewski, bordering upon literary reportage, show how the use of typography enhances the formal hybridity or even amorphousness of the text. In turn, Mariusz Szczygieł and Wojciech Tochman, their documentary narratives, emphasize the mutual synergy between the physical components of the book, which undermines the standard genre classifi cation.

Translated into dozens of foreign languages, the works by L.E. Ulitskaya are very popular and have become the object of literary studies. This article aims at the linguo-ideological research of the writer’s works. As the source of the material, three collections were selected including fiction and non-fiction works of the writer. The direct object of the study is represented by the concepts of social significance in their textual axiological modality. Their combination shows the writer's vision of life in Soviet and contemporary Russia. The research methodology includes conceptual analysis with the technology of discursive-interpretational analysis, the traditional analytical-descriptive method, the method of metaphorical modeling, the elements of component and content analysis, field methods. The analysis revealed a totally negative assessment vector related to the Soviet, contemporary, and also future existence of the country and the state. The types of negativity are reflected by the category of subjective modality. The results of the study give the right to assert the presence in the writer’s works the signs / symptoms of information-psychological war, which means the need for careful selection of her texts when recommending them for inclusion into the educational programme.

Chapter Five examines how the law is represented and deployed in Cyprian Ekwensi’s Jagua Nana and People of the City and in a selection of Nigerian market fiction. The law and its transgression permeated a range of publications in the years immediately preceding and after independence. Fiction and non-fiction alike repeatedly engaged with questions of crime and punishment, and even invoked legal paradigms to explore sexual and emotional relationships. This chapter demonstrates how market literature sought to generate through its own imagined communities discussion about and regulation of the apparent lawlessness of modern urban life. In attending to the larger presence of the law in both high- and lowbrow literature of the period, this chapter shows how the law was shaped in the popular imagination at independence.

The success of semi-solid metal forming is dependent on a globular solid grain formation within a liquid phase. This paper presents experimental works concerning semi-solid metal processing of aluminium 7075 feedstock billets which were produced by direct thermal method. The flowability of feedstock billets was evaluated by an injection test processing unit. The feedstock billets were heated to a temperature of 620 °C by using a box furnace before transferred into a forming die. The formed feedstock billet was removed from the forming die after it was cooled to ambient temperature. Several analyses were conducted on the formed feedstock billets including dimensional measurement and microstructure analysis. The results show that the feedstock billets which contained highest amount of free secondary phase were most successfully formed. Microstructure analysis results also revealed the formation of more globular and larger α–Al solid grains in the same feedstock billets. In this experimental work, the feedstock billets with higher secondary (liquid) phase gives a significant effect to formability. It can be concluded that in order to get successful formability of direct thermal method feedstock billets, the billets need to have higher secondary phase content. Thus, the selection of proper feedstock billets is important to determine the success of the SSM processing.

Las formas basadas en la colaboración y la participación de colectivos amplios y diversos, no necesariamente especializados, en los procesos creativos, como es el caso del cine colaborativo, se han erigido en uno de los principales fuentes de experimentación formal, temática y metodológica en la producción cultural contemporánea. En este artículo, me propongo explorar algunas de las principales características del cine colaborativo, partiendo de una discusión sobre la noción de participación basada en los estudios sobre democracia. A través de dos casos ejemplo me propongo identificar algunas discrepancias entre los discursos y la implementación de procesos reales de participación, así como diferencias y continuidades entre las metodologías de creación colaborativa cinematográfica en el campo de la ficción y la no-ficción.Collaborative cinema, between discourses, experimentation and control:participatory methodologies in fiction and non-fictionAbstractFactual narratives are based on an assumed referential veracity in regard to their stories. Within this vast field of reality, we describe three specific forms of expression: audiovisual, interactive andtransmedia. Over recent years, each of these forms of expression has developed its own strategies and mechanisms to encourage collaboration, participation and involvement of audiences. Whetherthrough advertising, community programs, participative projects or platforms that empower users, the possibilities of these factual projects seem to go on and on, being reinvented in each new formof expression. In this paper, we analyze how these three forms have influenced the field of non-fiction, on the basis of a selection of key genres and formats such as documentaries, journalism, museums and essays.Keywords: Factual narrative, participation, collaboration, documentary, journalism, museum, essaypp. 13-25

To contribute to commercial classification, this work sought to evaluate correlations between fruit mass and other physical characteristics of blackberry fruit, indicating direct and indirect effects of morphology and physical characteristics on blackberry fruit mass. The variables evaluated were the total mass of the blackberry fruit along with its physical components: fruit length, greater transverse diameter, smaller transverse diameter, fruit area, fruit perimeter, and fruit volume. Results of our analyses show that an increase in fruit length, fruit perimeter, and fruit volume reflects an increase in the total mass of the blackberry fruit. Indirectly, greater values of fruit length, greater transverse diameter, and smaller transverse diameter reflect an increase in the perimeter and volume of the blackberry fruit, thus contributing to larger, more attractive fruit.

The present research address contemporary non-fiction films based on rules, restrictions or very specific devices. Radical video pieces in the form and its approach to “the real” that challenge the conventions of documentary film and are linked to other contemporary art practices. Our research focuses on those non-fiction works made in the last twenty years, a minor cinema with a minimalist vocation, linked to the avant-garde documentary, video art and video amateur, based on very precise patterns, not as a anecdotal fact, but as a basic element that determines the construction of them. The selection of the films will be made analysing the qualities they have to allow us to establish typologies of study and to define the basis of theoretical models of analysis. According to the technique or mechanism used, the qualities of the films we analyse can be constructed based on the seriality of their elements, the restriction of space-time, the technical-mechanical device used or the use of techniques or self-imposed patterns that serve to organise and give sense to the images of these films far from the narrative resources of conventional documentary. However, our purpose is not so much to carry out a classification exercise as to analyse and understand these innovative formulas that open up new ways in the film of the real.

Margaret Atwood is the only Canadian author whose 80th birthday in 2019 was celebrated by the global academic community. This is not surprising, as she is the most famous Canadian writer, popular also outside literary circles. On this occasion, Slovene Canadianists organized a literary event at the Maribor University Library, which presented an outline of Atwood’s oeuvre and a selection of translated poems and excerpts of prose texts; some of these were translated especially for the event. Of Atwood’s rich and varied oeuvre, only eight novels, a few short fiction pieces and some thirty poems have been translated into Slovene. This article thus aims at presenting those aspects of Atwood’s work which are less know to Slovene readers. It is no secret that Atwood is often labelled a feminist writer, mostly on account of The Handmaid’s Tale and the TV series based on the novel. However, many Slovene readers may not know that she also writes poetry, short fiction, non-fiction and children’s literature, that she is a committed environmentalist, and that she discussed the problem of “Debt and the Shadow Side of Wealth” in a prestigious lecture series. There are not many authors who master as many genres as Atwood and who are so well-received by readers and critics alike. The latter is true of Atwood also in Slovenia, and we can only hope that Slovene publishers will make more of Atwood’s work available to Slovene readers. All the more so since Atwood has no plans to end her career: just before her 80th birthday she was on a tour in Europe promoting her latest novel, The Testaments, and she would have continued touring in 2020 were it not for the COVID pandemic.
