- Novels written for the mass market, intended to be "a good read,"--often exciting, titillating, thrilling. Historically they have been very popular but critically sneered at as being of sub-literary quality. The earliest ones were the dime novels of the nineteenth century, printed on newsprint (hence "pulp" fiction) and sold for ten cents. Westerns, stories of adventure, even the Horatio Alger novels, all were forms of pulp fiction. Robert Harris - VirtualSalt

- Régebben a köznép szórakoztatására szánt, vásári ponyván árult irodalmi alkotások. ÁImoskönyvek, mondák, mesék, betyártörténetek mellett remekművek is kerültek ponyvára (pl.: Petőfi Sándor versei).
Művészileg igénytelen, alacsony színvonalú alkotások, legtöbbször ponyvairodalomregények. Témájuk főleg a bűnüldözés, a kémkedés, valamilyen szentimentális kaland stb. Célja kizárólag a figyelem lekötése izgalmas v. annak szánt cselekménnyel. Káros társ. jelenséggé akkor válik, ha sikerűl kiszorítania az olvasmányok köréből az értékes irodalmat. http://www.kislexikon.hu/ponyvairodalom. - by Attila Kosik

- בשנות התיכון והקולג' המשכתי לקרוא מדע בדיוני, אך תסכולי, כאמור, גבר והלך. עידן הספרות הזולה השתלט על התחום, ורוב הסיפורים עסקו בגיבורים עם שמות כ"בריק מלוי", שנשלח להילחם בשודדי חלל, פולשים מעולמות אחרים, חרקי ענק, וכל שאר הזבל המופק בהוליווד גם בימינו. - חלומות באספמיה by Etty Shmuelly

- Palp fikšn (pulp fiction), uobičajeno prevodimo kao petparačke priče, i to je lep izraz koji ništa lepog ne govori o onome što označava. Petparačke, dakle jeftine priče, s pravom bismo mogli osloviti i neotesanima Blic - dodatak - by itchi

- Additional fields of expertise
- Definition(s)
- Letërsia masive/masovike është një narracion tepër popullor që ka lindur që në shekullin XIX si fenomen social i qendrave të urbanizuara në kulturat paramoderniste. Kryesisht me zhanrin e romanit, kjo letërsi etiketohet si romani dedektiv; romani shkencor (science-fiction) dhe joshkencor (fantasy) ose fantastik; romani western dhe romani dashuror (romani i damave, romani rozë, i grave); fotoromanet dhe kinoromanet, romani mistik, historik. Emërtimet e njohura si “letërsi e verdhë”, “bulevardeske”, “konjukturale”, “ideologjike” etj, janë pjesë e orbitës së kësaj letërsie. Ndaj të gjithë këtyre zhanreve zbatohet gjithashtu termi literaturë triviale, argëtuese, eskapite, e tregut apo “e lirë“, - zhanër paraletërsi, beletristikë, më së mbrami dhe etiketimi vlerësues i vrazhdë “limonadë” - në të përkundërt me “elitaren”, “oborrtaren”, “aristokraten”, “dijetaren“; apo ndryshe letërsia e “ulët”, në të përkundërt me letërsinë e “lartë”. Gazeta Start - Agron Tufa - by Ledja
- Example sentence(s)
- Letërsia masive është një literaturë jo vetëm e imitimit, jetëgjasmimit, por edhe optimiste. Kjo është e lidhur si me kriticizmin social të zhanreve masive, ashtu dhe me “strukturën e mbyllur” të rrë fimit të një tipologjie të tillë, të të gjithë botës letrare dhe të imazhit të njeriut në letërsinë masive. - Fakulteti Filologjik, Univ. i Tetovës by Ledja
