From Science to Science Fiction (Damir Feigl's Science Fiction)

Abstract

In science fiction it is essential to distinguish between its primary stage, in which the features of the world of the science and their reworking into science fiction were the purpose of the composition, and a developed genre form, where these elements become only a means to open up new thematic groupings. The present paper is an attempt to define more precisely the science fiction of Damir Feigel and to present a model of the structure of his textual world. The nalysis encompasses the writer's process of translating science fact into their literary derivative as well as a quantitative analysis of the presence of genre elemets in texts.
