Minor handling wear, book is clean and bright with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Straight spine free of creases. -- The volume explores the complexities of world-building in fantastic literature, examining how creators construct imaginary realms and the various ways these worlds resonate with readers. It delves into the concept of "subcreation," a term popularised by J.R.R. Tolkien, to describe the crafting of secondary worlds that operate with their own internal logic and rules. In this collection, contributors investigate the power of these constructed worlds to comment on real-world issues, foster imaginative engagement, and provide readers with new lenses to interpret their realities. -- "The seventh volume of Fastitocalon comprises articles which study the creation of imaginary worlds in works of the fantastic. Some of the contributions focus on the analysis of literary texts from different cultural backgrounds, showing us, among other things, how successful worldbuilding can induce readers to new understandings of the real world. Intertextuality is presented as an important topic as well, as it serves as the base for the correct reading and interpretation of many texts. The authors also research the possibilities of created universes beyond literature, reflecting on the potential limits of transmedial narratives, on the particular characteristics of fanfiction, on the meaning of maps as more than a paratext, or on the role of language in fantasticism." -- Contents: Editors' in Chief Preface; Introduction; -- Articles: -- No limits?

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Inspired by a universal, cross-cultural vision, this book provides a comparative analysis of the rhetorical and stylistic features in fantastic literature effortlessly crossing the boundaries of cultures, languages and epochs to explore their literary manifestations of the unknown.
