- Definition(s)
- 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
- Example sentence(s)
- At five to twenty-five cents an issue, pulp fiction was a literature accessible to Americans at every income level—often sold at newsstands and drugstores. Until the mid-1950s, pulp fiction was the literature of choice for the reading public, before it was supplanted by comic books and paperbacks. - The Library of Congress-American Memory
by - The pulp fiction era provided a breeding ground for creative talent which would influence all forms of entertainment for decades to come. The hardboiled detective and science fiction genres were created by the freedom that the pulp fiction magazines provided. - Vintage New Media, inc.
by - Pulp fiction was a great avenue to escape the mundane and escape into a world of gangsters and good guys, cowboys and cattlemen, spaceships and star travelers. For a thin dime one could read from the pens of some of the best writers of the era: the era of pulp fiction. - Robert Wheadon

- Definition(s)
- Trivialliteratur ist eine Form literarischer Unterhaltung. Mit dem Begriff wird seit den 20er Jahren des 20. Jahrhunderts der Bereich der populären, häufig als minderwertig angesehenen Massenliteratur bezeichnet. Wikipedia, - by Anke McElligott
- Example sentence(s)
- Die Trivialliteratur widmet sich in einer vereinfachenden, klischeehaften und oftmals eine „heile Welt” vorspiegelnden Weise Themen wie Liebe, Tod, Abenteuer, Verbrechen, Krieg usw. (Kitsch, Schundliteratur). In Sprache, Verständlichkeit und Emotionalität ist sie so strukturiert, dass sie den Erwartungen eines großen Massenpublikums gerecht wird (indem sie diesem eine schöne Welt mit einer klaren Unterscheidung zwischen Gut und Böse vorstellt). Das wesentliche Merkmal ist in diesem Sinne, dass sie den Erwartungshorizont des Lesers nicht durchbricht. Dadurch kommt es zu einer Bestätigung (Affirmation) bestehender Meinungen, Gesellschaftsbilder usw., während dagegen die Hochliteratur eine Auseinandersetzung mit gängigen Vorstellungen und Denkweisen anstrebt. Deshalb existiert als weiteres Synonym für Trivialliteratur auch der Begriff affirmative Literatur (als Gegensatz zu kritischer Literatur). - Wikipedia

- Definition(s)
- La literatura popular, tantas veces rendida ante la crítica culta, abre necesariamente un espacio a la considerada literatura pulp. El término, antiguo como él solo, cobra vigor con la película de Tarantino: su culto a lo presuntamente cutre acaba convertido en reivindicación histórica de los olvidados, a veces no tan buenos, a veces magníficos. Elpais.com - by Sandra Leoni
- Example sentence(s)
- Esta página está dedicada al archivo y difusión de las tapas de diversas publicaciones de literatura popular hispánica de los siglos XIX y XX, con énfasis en los ejemplos argentinos. Coloridas y apasionantes, fueron a menudo obra de grandes artistas como Palau, Macaya, Longoria y Albistur. Bienvenidos a este variopinto y nostálgico desfile de revistas, libros y folletines. - Museo de Literatura Popular.
by Sandra Leoni - Literatura popular norteamericana pretendidamente "undergound", que se difundió a principios del siglo XX en determinadas revistas como "Weird tales", "All-story", "Amazing Stories", o "Black Mask Magazine". Lo "pulp" se caracteriza por su culto a la acción, y participa tanto de la novela negra, de la gótica y de la ciencia ficción en igual medida. El director de cine Quentin Tarantino, consagró el término en el título de su película "Pulp Fiction" (1994) - Diccionario Literario
by Sandra Leoni - Las aventuras de los personajes citados conforman un corpus narrativo enérgico y primordial, de entre los más notables de la delirante literatura popular (pulp fiction) que alcanzase su esplendor en Estados Unidos durante la Gran Depresión. - Revista Comic Digital

- Šund - djelo (tekst, film, glazba, slika) bez umjetničkih i moralnih vrijednosti
Izvor: Rječnik hrvatskoga jezika Own research - by eleonora_r
- Example sentence(s)
- Iza pseudonima najčešće se skrivaju pisci koji se boje da bi šund literatura ili trivijalni žanrovi mogli “potrošiti” njihovo autorsko ime. - Moderna vremena info
by eleonora_r - U svom prijedlogu Gavran je šundom proglasio cijele žanrove i to »ljubiće, krimiće, porno-časopise i slično«. Tako bi porez na šund bio prilijepljen i krimićima koji spadaju gotovo u klasike svjetske književnosti, a možda bi se pod »i slično« ugurala i znanstvenofantastična književnost, detektivski i avanturistički romani. Recimo, Goranu Tribusonu bi neka njegova djela konkurirala za društveno priznate nagrade, kao što je nedavno dobio nagradu Fonda Miroslav Krleža, dok bi mu dogodovštine inspektora Banića priskrbile porez na šund - monitor.hr
by eleonora_r - ŠTO JE ŠUND, A ŠTO VRIJEDNA KNJIGA: Neizbježno je pitanje kojim bi se općim kriterijima određivalo što jest šund, a što nije, te tko bi određivao koji će naslovi izazvati sreću ili jad njihovim autorima i izdavačima?

daarvan afgeleid: pulpromans Wiki - by Roel Verschueren
- Example sentence(s)
- Pulpromans vormen een literair genre dat niet zozeer uitblinkt door een sterk plot of personage, maar vanwege de sociale functie die zij vervullen. Een pulproman is doorgaans vrij omvangrijk en kent een snelle aaneenschakeling van acties, intriges of avontuur en treft men voornamelijk aan in kiosken van treinstations en luchthavens, hoewel ze in het Nederlands taalgebied ook in de reguliere boekhandel te verkrijgen zijn. - Wiki
by Roel Verschueren - Een pulproman moet noodzakelijkerwijs oppervlakkig, innemend en toegankelijk zijn zonder dat zij noodzakelijkerwijs over een bijzonder diepgaande of filosofische inhoud beschikt, of althans voor zover deze inhoud noodzakelijk is voor het uiteindelijke genot van het boek. - Wiki
