Abstract

The article is an attempt to outline various ways of constructing worlds in selected literary and film works. Roger Caillois and – a little later – Stanisław Lem made a rather detailed distinction between the ways of creating literary worlds, due to their genre differentiation. The rules governing reality in criminal fiction are constructed differently, as well as they are constructed
differently in horror literature and other than in science fiction works. These „ontological strategies” may also be dictated by reasons other than genres differentiation (the so-called practical ontology will be discussed in more detai.
