Literatúra omylu: O interdiskurzívnej analýze negatívneho a liminálneho poznania (s príkladmi z fikcie Teda Chianga)
Literature of the mistake: On the interdiscursive analysis of negative and liminal knowledge (with examples from Ted Chiang’s fiction)

Summary/Abstract: The main goal of the study is to present the basic theoretical and methodological apparatus for the interdiscursive analysis of the use of negative and liminal knowledge in literature with the focus on speculative fiction. For this purpose, we use the original literary statements of the American writer Ted Chiang, in whose work the regularity of metadiscursive thematization of forms of constructing knowledge is manifested. We operate in the marked methodological vectors of constructivism, but with emphasis on its cognitive branch. The conceptual integration theory and research on counterfactual thinking is applied to connections of multiple special discourses in speculative fiction. Three distinct forms of knowledge (propositional, procedural and phenomenal) are covered in this research to understand the unique role of literature as interdiscourse where knowledge can be communicated by what is untrue or unknown in science.
