Sinopse

World Logic explores the crucial art of crafting believable fictional worlds, vital for both creators and audiences of Film & Television and Language Arts. The book emphasizes the importance of internal logic – the consistent set of rules that govern a fictional universe – illustrating how adherence to these self-imposed rules enhances narrative impact. A key insight is that successful world-building isn't about mimicking reality but about establishing believable parameters and consistently operating within them, ensuring audience engagement and preventing the shattering of disbelief.

 
The book progresses systematically, dissecting successful and unsuccessful examples of world-building across various media and genres. It examines core elements such as history, geography, societal structures, and technology, demonstrating how their consistent interaction shapes immersive narratives.

 
By integrating theoretical frameworks from narratology, semiotics, and insights from cognitive science and game theory, World Logic offers a unique perspective on narrative design and audience perception. Written in an accessible style, the book avoids technical jargon while providing practical insights for writers, filmmakers, and game designers. It offers case studies and exercises to apply these principles, focusing on the underlying mechanics of world-building rather than marketing strategies.

 
Ultimately, World Logic equips readers with the tools to create resonant and enduring fictional worlds, improving not only entertainment but also the development of serious games and educational tools.

Speaking in Tongues

J.M. Coetzee, Mariana Dimópulos

Language, historically speaking, has always been slippery. Two dictionaries provide two different maps of the universe: which one is true, or are both false? Speaking in Tongues—taking the form of a dialogue between Nobel laureate novelist J. M. Coetzee and eminent translator Mariana Dimópulos—examines some of the most pressing linguistic issues that plague writers and translators well into the twenty-first century. 
 
 
 
The authors inquire if one can truly love an acquired language, and they question why certain languages, like Spanish, have gender differences built into them. They examine the threat of monolingualism and ask how we can counter, if at all, the global spread of the English language, which seems to maraud like a colonial power. They question whether it should be the duty of the translator to remove morally objectionable language. And in the conclusion, Coetzee even speculates whether it's only mathematics that can tell the truth about everything. 
 
 
 
Drawing from decades of experience in the craft of language, both Dimópulos and Coetzee face the reality that when it comes to self-expression, some things will always get lost in translation. Speaking in Tongues finally emerges as an engaging and accessible work of philosophy, shining a light on some of the most important linguistic and philological issues of our time.
