20.500.12556/DKUM-98342 Fictive epigraphs as a tool for world-building in epic fantasy master's thesis Fiktivni epigrafi kot orodje za gradnjo sveta v epski fantastiki Contemporary epic fantasy novels contain fictive epigraphs – small units of text that contribute to shaping the fictive world by adding important layers of information, such as descriptive detail, names of fictive personae, places, and events. They appear in various genres and contribute substantially to world-building. The world-building function of fictive epigraphs interconnects with the plot of the novel on various levels. The authorship of fictive epigraphs is fictive, since these texts deliberately give an impression of having been written by fictive personae from the fictive world. This feature contributes to the crucial world-building element in fantasy, and with it, the narrative function of the original author can transpose to the fictive author. Sodobna epska fantastika vsebuje fiktivne epigrafe – majhne tekstovne enote, ki prispevajo k oblikovanju fiktivnega sveta z dodajanjem pomembnih slojev informacij, in sicer deskriptivnih podrobnosti ter imen fiktivnih oseb, krajev in dogodkov. Pojavljajo se v raznih zvrsteh, ki same po sebi prav tako prispevajo h gradnji sveta. Funkcija gradnje sveta fiktivnih epigrafov se povezuje s fabulo romana na različnih nivojih. Avtorstvo fiktivnih epigrafov je fiktivno, saj namenoma dajejo vtis, da jih je zapisala fiktivna oseba iz fiktivnega sveta. Ta lastnost sama prispeva h gradnji sveta in z njo se pripovedovalna funkcija izvirnega avtorja prenaša na fiktivnega.
