A major question in studies of aesthetic expression is how we can
understand and explain similarities and differences among different
forms of representation. In the current volume, this question is
addressed through the lens of make-believe theory, a philosophical
theory broadly introduced by two seminal works - Kendall Walton's
Mimesis as Make-Believe and Gregory Currie's The Nature of Fiction,
both published 1990. Since then, make-believe theory has become
central in the philosphical discussion of representation. As a
first of its kind, the current volume comprises 17 detailed studies
of highly different forms of representation, such as novels, plays,
TV-series, role games, computer games, lamentation poetry and
memoirs. The collection contributes to establishing make-believe
theory as a powerful theoretical tool for a wide array of studies
traditionally falling under the humanities umbrella.
