Online resources: Summary: Although fictional characters have long dominated the reception of literature, films, television programs, comics, and other media products, only recently have they begun to attract their due attention in literary and media theory. The book systematically surveys today´s diverse and at times conflicting theoretical perspectives on fictional character, spanning research on topics such as the differences between fictional characters and real persons, the ontological status of characters, the strategies of their representation and characterization, the psychology of their reception, as well as their specific forms and constellations in - and across - different media, from the book to the internet.Summary: Trotz ihrer Dominanz für die Rezeption von Literatur, Film, Comic und anderen Medien haben Figuren in der literatur- und medientheoretischen Diskussion lange Zeit ein Schattendasein geführt. Der vorliegende Band führt die inzwischen deutlich intensivierte Diskussion in den verschiedenen Bereichen erstmals zusammen und behandelt systematisch die unterschiedlichen Problemaspekte des Begriffs Figur, z.B. das Verhältnis von Figuren- zur Personenwahrnehmung, den ontologischen Status der Figur, die Strategien der Charakterisierung, Figurenkonstellationen. Außerdem enthält er Beiträge zur Figur im Comic, Lyrik, Computerspiel und anderen Medien.
