The Frontiers between Fact and Fiction in the Light of Trimenditional Comparatism
Résumé
The defense of the borders of fiction does not mean that we should imprison ourselves behind these thresholds or believe in their impenetrability. I am advocating that we comprehend fiction by drawing attention to the different modalities of its hybridization with the factual. At the same time, we have to reflect on the frontiers of fiction in order to comprehend fictionʼs specific ontology. It is not possible to describe the practice of fiction without recognizing that which is specific to fiction. From a logical point of view, we are dealing with impossible possible worlds, that is to say paradoxical worlds. From an ontological point of view, the constitutive paradox of fiction is giving a form of existence to the non-existent. In addition, the population of fictional entities is heterogeneous, both from the point of view of their referential status and of their species. Finally, from a pragmatic and cognitive point of view, immersion in a fiction presumes the frustration of action and the suspension of a sensorial relation to the world, at once feared and desired.
