One of the basic insights of the book is that there is a notion of
non-relational linguistic representation which can fruitfully be
employed in a systematic approach to literary fiction. This notion
allows us to develop an improved understanding of the ontological
nature of fictional entities. A related insight is that the
customary distinction between extra-fictional and intra-fictional
contexts has only a secondary theoretical importance. This
distinction plays a central role in nearly all contemporary
theories of literary fiction. There is a tendency among researchers
to take it as obvious that the contrast between these two types of
contexts is crucial for understanding the boundary that divides
fiction from non-fiction. Seen from the perspective of
non-relational representation, the key question is rather how
representational networks come into being and how consumers of
literary texts can, and do, engage with these networks. As a whole,
the book provides, for the first time, a comprehensive
artefactualist account of the nature of fictional entities.
