[...]it also exemplifies the critical capacities of Australian cosy crime fiction, in particular its attention to what has been termed \"eco-crime,\" alongside a commentary on the economic and social impacts of global capitalism on local communities. In The World in Which We Occur (2007), Neil W. Browne uses the term \"ecological writing\" for the literary understanding of the interaction between human and natural worlds that is evident in Becke's South Pacific work. Here Becke observes and discusses not only animals (particularly fish and birds), as well as flora and fauna of various Pacific Islands and the Australian east coast littoral, but also human participation in those environments and ecologies that includes the Islanders' sustainable management of their natural resources. At the turn of the nineteenth century, at a time when Europeans and settler Australians alike knew very little about the South Pacific, Becke articulated in his ecological writing the complex interactions between the region's human culture and natural world within his own literary ecosystem of the imagination in which writer, reader, text, landforms, creatures, and humans were vitally entwined.

II—Fictional, Metafictional, Parafictional
Abstract
Fictional uses of fictional proper names are the uses one finds in the fiction in which the names in question are introduced. Such uses are not genuinely referential: they rest on pretence. Metafictional uses of proper names (‘Sherlock Holmes was created by Doyle in 1887’) are genuinely referential: they refer to a cultural artefact. In the paper I discuss a third type of use of fictional names: parafictional uses, illustrated by ‘In the story, Holmes is a clever detective’. I try to steer a middle course between two approaches, one that assimilates them to metafictional uses, and another one that assimilates them to fictional uses.

Fictional names and individual concepts
This paper defends a version of the realist view that fictional characters exist. It argues for an instance of abstract realist views, according to which fictional characters are roles, constituted by sets of properties. It is argued that fictional names denote individual concepts, functions from worlds to individuals. It is shown that a dynamic framework for understanding the evolution of discourse information can be used to understand how roles are created and develop along with story content. Taking fictional names to denote individual concepts provides accounts of a number of uses of fictional names. These include non-fictional uses, fictional uses, metafictional uses, interfictional uses, counterfictional uses, and negative existentials. It is argued that this account is not open to objections that have been raised in the literature.

A Poetics of Postmodernism
Neither a defense nor a denunciation of the postmodern, it continues Hutcheon's previous projects in studying formal self-consciousness in art, but adds to this both a historical and ideological dimension.
