		Reality is seen as something which has to be attained and this attainment is a continuous process that never allows the concept to stabilize or the word to offer a convenient mould of meaning.
		While swift gave reality to pygmies, giants and the most impossible situations (as easily as if he were writing facts), Defoe at that period was known for recreating natural real adventure in reader’s mind.

		Redrawing the Boundaries of Poetic Realism in Margaret Hollingsworth’s Drama
		Magic realism is often used by postcolonial or minority writers – marginalized, artists as it were – to express a reaction against the centre, against hegemonic society.
		Magic realism thus reinforces the postmodern concept of the “ex-centric.” Magic realism serves to designate a “fracture in the real,” a sense of crisis.

		Poetic Realism in fiction can be described as a form of prosodic disclosure that uses techniques of poetic construction to emphasize the multidimensionality of the perception of realistic dramatic works.

		The poetic quality is also evident in the way that basically ordinary and unimportant characters (a deserter, a streetwalker, a petty hoodlum, a drunk) are momentarily given transcendent poetic stature by grand operatic events that briefly grip their lives.

		Poetic realism emerged as a way of exploring the inherently romantic yet frequently tragic poetry of everyday life.
		Often focusing upon working-class characters caught in their world-weary milieus, the films of poetic realism created surreal settings which contained a tangible note of optimism but were ultimately fatalistic.
		Perhaps a precursor to the Italian neorealist movement of the 1940's, poetic realism characterized many of the French films of the latter 1930's, the commencing years for what is now considered the Golden Age of French cinema.

	Education: Ethical and Beautiful / The Right of Aesthetic Realism to Be Known (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		The effort to undo public education is, really, as reactionary as an effort to have this nation ruled again by a king.
		The first thing Aesthetic Realism says about education is that it’s a making one of that which God or evolution has given and what a teacher may give, or oneself may give.
		When you really respect the world, you respect what you begin with and you respect what can be done with it.

		But Donne created a poetic language of thought, a mode of expression which so took for granted the intellectual tone and preoccupations of his time that it made of them, as it were, the stage on which the intimate give-and-take of personal poetry was played.
		I simply want to replace the stress on the element of realism in Donne, the skill by which he created a poetic language in which technique was at the service of a fullness of the intelligence.
		Nowadays `realism' usually means a certain wilful harping on the facts of life, an insistence on the short, frank word and the daringly, or drearily, sordid detail.

	STAR WARS Fans and Metaphysical Realism
		This practice, which I call metaphysical realism, is in a broad sense the same practice on which the entirety of human civilization is built.
		"Realism" because of the notion that those things that "are" belong to a set of things that are "real." Metaphysical non-realism would not assume that anything actually is "real" and would say instead that things are, well, something else, such as ideas we construct or accept in order to make living our lives easier.
		Indeed, one of the problems with metaphysical realism is that it tends to require logical consistency.

	Electric Shadows - Enfants du Paradis, Les
		Directed by Marcel Carne and written by the poet, Jacques Prevert, this is one of the masterpieces of what film historians have called "poetic realism", the poetically heightened and intensified sense of the real world.
		"Reality" in this case is the back streets and "low life" of Paris in the 1840s, especially the world of the legendary Boulevard du Crime, and the excitement of popular Parisian theatre in the mid-19th century.
		The work of the poetic realists, specifically Carne and Prevert, is acknowledged by Jean-Pierre Jeunet as an inspiration for the vision of Paris represented in AMELIE, and so I thought it a good time to re-visit Carne and Prevert's greatest achievement, particularly now that a superb 35mm print is available for screening.

		In effect he treated the fortuitous homology between his extraordinary responsiveness to the particularities of actors and the reigning cult of the performer as a pretext or justification that allowed him to push the theatrical idiom beyond the nostalgic decadence in which it was mired.

		The poetic aspect will be immediately apparent to contemporary viewers, although the genre’s claim to realism may be a bit more difficult to fathom.
		What made it realistic was its scorn for happy endings and bucolic settings; even if it amounted to another sort of fantasy, it was at least a fantasy that was congruent with working-class lives.
		Similarly, Port of Shadows and the other examples of poetic realism in the cinema owe little to Émile Zola, but neither do they have anything to do with dinner jackets, cruise ships, or independent incomes.

		The non-linearity of Ukrainian culture has affected Ukrainian artistic mentality, producing a way of thinking that often defies the logic of "Western music." It is the dream state, the passive resistance, of a person in a vulnerable position.

		As a leftist, Renoir would use the tools of poetic realism to construct defenses of the proletariat and critiques of the bourgeois and aristocratic insolation and arrogance.

	The anti-canonical realism of Elizabeth Barrett Browning's `Lord Walter's Wife'.
		Domestic realism is the genre of nineteenth-century novels written mainly for and by middle-class women about the realities of daily life for women of their own class and the working classes.
		Insofar as they conform to the principles of literary realism, Barrett Browning's late works, including Aurora Leigh and the ballads she wrote during her last years, take part in a vexed relationship between literary realism and feminism as a cultural and political movement.
		The layering of plots ties Aurora Leigh to the genres of domestic realism, autobiographical realism, and slum naturalism, which was to become a dominant mode later in the century.

	DVD Verdict Review - Port Of Shadows: Criterion Collection
		The poetic realism of French cinema is an odd combination of the high romanticism we associate with Hollywood's golden era and a bleak fatalism born of France's hard slog during the war.
		Casablanca into a work of poetic realism, for instance, would only require tweaking the finale so Victor Laszlo is gunned down on the tarmac by Nazis, Rick Blaine is arrested by the Vichy authorities, and Ilsa Lund is left to the carnal mercies of the nefarious Captain Renault.
		Port of Shadows's pessimism, coupled with its attachment to a Nazi-run studio (an unavoidable reality for French filmmakers during the war), resulted in a cool reception by French audiences nearly on par with that of Henri-George Clouzot's Le Corbeau.

		Although Carné worked with other screenwriters, and Prévert wrote scripts for other directors, it was their collaborations that were most celebrated—some would argue that the filmmakers individually lacked some essential component that had made their team efforts so potent.
		Their years of collaboration coincided with the flourishing of the Poetic Realism movement, which combined visual lyricism and a dark, downbeat realism.
		Borne out of France’s literary and cultural fixation on the tragic side of life, Poetic Realism was as uniquely and essentially French as Expressionism was German.

	Double Exposures: Repetition and Realism in Nineteenth-Century German Fiction - Eric Downing
		“To write an engaging and entertaining study of German or poetic realism that offers insightful and differentiated readings of the novellas of Stifter, Storm, Keller, C.F. Meyer, and Raabe through the lenses—focused on repetition—of narratology, Critical Theory, and psychoanalysis and, to a leser extent gender studies, is without a doubt a daunting endeavor.
		Double Exposures aims not only to focus attention on competing meanings of realism and mimesis in nineteenth-century German narrative fiction, but also to supply a quite different account of how realism’s typically submerged structures allow readers to explore some of the basic phenomena and contradictions of their extra-literary, social existence.
		It challenges the currently dominant critical perspective on German poetic realism (and on literary realism in general), which considers this seemingly transparent mode of representation a deeply ideological and self-deceiving form of cultural discourse that reiterates, and so reinforces, powerful social constraints already at work in the extra-literary sphere.
