| | Magical Realism: Definitions |
| | Magical realism is, more than anything else, an attitude toward reality that can be expressed in popular or cultured forms, in elaborate or rustic styles in closed or open structures¼.In magical realism the writer confronts reality and tries to untangle it, to discover what is mysterious in things, in life, in human acts. | | | The term magical realism was coined around 1924 or 1925 by a German art critic named Franz Roh what he called magical realism was simply painting where real forms are combined in a way that does not conform to daily reality. | | | Magical realism is truly postmodern in its rejection of the binarisms, rationalisms, and reductive materialisms of Western modernity. |

| | Realism in American Literature |
| | In its own time, realism was the subject of controversy; debates over the suitability of realism as a mode of representation led to a critical exchange known as the realism war. | | | Realism was a movement that encompassed the entire country, or at least the Midwest and South, although many of the writers and critics associated with realism (notably W. Howells) were based in New England. | | | As Donald Pizer notes in his introduction to The Cambridge Companion to American Realism and Naturalism: Howells to London, the term "realism" is difficult to define, in part because it is used differently in European contexts than in American literature. |

| | Realism is meant to be a riposte to magic and mystery, but it may well be a prime example of them. | | | The acme of world realism arrives with the Divine Comedy, whose elevated style can integrate the vulgar, humdrum, grotesque and repulsive in a language which Auerbach, a Dante scholar of great distinction, regards as 'a well-nigh incomprehensible miracle'. | | | If realism is bourgeois for Lukács, it is plebeian for Auerbach. |

| | Realism and Naturalism |
| | Realism is a recurrent theme in art which becomes a coherent movement only after 1850; and even then it struggles against the overwhelming popularity of Romanticism. | | | Realism has never entirely displaced the popular taste for Romantic art, as any number of hotel-room paintings, paperback book covers and calendars testify. | | | As intellectual and artistic movements 19th-Century Realism and Naturalism are both responses to Romanticism but are not really comparable to it in scope or influence. |

| | Contemporary American Realism |
| | Realism came closest to being an organized movement in France, inspiring artists such as Corot and Millet, and engendering the Barbizon School of landscape painting. | | | Realism is an approach to art in which subjects are portrayed in as straightforward manner as possible, without idealizing them and without following the rules of formal theory. | | | At this moment in time a virtually endless range of materials is available to select from to suit the gamut of expressive language, but in the realm of Realism those simple, uncontrived materials which have faithfully served the ineffables of illusionism still stand." |

| | Realism |
| | The antiliterary thrust of realism can be taken either as an assertion of the power of the real over the imagined, and hence of a determined world, or as an assertion of the variety and energy against the enclosing and determining forms of art. | | | [The best introductory study of realism as a movement in nineteenth-century painting, though it holds to a conservative art-historical view that places French art at the center of the universe.] | | | Realism, which emphasizes the importance of the ordinarythe ordinary person and the ordinary situation, tends to reject the heroic and the aristocratic and embrace the pedestrian, the comic, and the middle class. |

| | Meaning realism without determination would not be a minimal meaning realism. | | | Therefore, some sort of minimal meaning realism with determination of meanings in combination with considering truth values also as determinate properties could be true without being true that, for any statement, there are "facts of the matter" as to whether it is true by virtue of its meaning. | | | That was, for instance, the main point of Acero (1993) in his commentaries to Boghossian (1993)'s arguments against the compatibility of meaning realism with the Quinean rejection of the A/S distinction. |
