Der Band führt in 22 Artikeln in Grundprobleme der Fiktionalität ein. Behandelt werden mit pragmatischen, rezeptions- und kontextbezogenen Theorien die wichtigsten Ansätze zur Abgrenzung fiktionaler und nicht-fiktionaler Medien. Kernfragen der Philosophie und Rezeptionspsychologie sowie Funktionen der Fiktionalität werden ebenso erläutert wie die Geschichte der Fiktionalitätsinstitution seit der Antike. Neben fiktionaler Literatur wird auch die Fiktionalität weiterer Medien (u.a. Film und bildende Kunst) sowie die Rolle von Fiktionalität und Fiktionalitätstheorie in Film- und Medienwissenschaften, Kunst- und Bildwissenschaften, Philosophie und Geschichtswissenschaft behandelt.

Counterfactuality is currently a hotly debated topic. While for some disciplines such as linguistics, cognitive science, or psychology counterfactual scenarios have been an important object of study for quite a while, counterfactual thinking has in recent years emerged as a method of study for other disciplines, most notably the social sciences. This volume provides an overview of the current definitions and uses of the concept of counterfactuality in philosophy, historiography, political sciences, psychology, linguistics, physics, and literary studies. The individual contributions not only engage the controversies that the deployment of counterfactual thinking as a method still generates, they also highlight the concept's potential to promote interdisciplinary exchange without neglecting the limitations and pitfalls of such a project. Moreover, the essays from literary studies, which make up about half of the volume, provide both a historical and a systematic perspective on the manifold ways in which counterfactual scenarios can be incorporated into and deployed in literary texts.
