Figure 3
Analytical model of the relationship between fiction, politics, and democracy
Comments: The figure depicts our model for analysing the relationships between fiction, politics, and democracy, where the audience “doubles” as the people in a democracy and the political is conceptualised as both the arena for deliberation of political issues and a system for decision-making and governing of the people and aspects of cultural production.
