AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'This chapter discusses the issue of aboriginal fantasy. It theorizes that the basic perceptions of time and space are culturally inflected and, thus, the very notion of fantasy is inextricably embedded in the consensus reality of its time and place. By showing how aboriginal reality may appear as fantastic when filtered through the prism of Western narrative conventions, the chapter is a fitting introduction to the wealth of fantasy’s cultural diversity we spotlight in the second Part of the Reader.' (Publication abstract)

While most academic studies of fantasy follow the well-trodden path of focusing on Tolkien, Rowling, and others, our collection spotlights rich and unique fantasy literatures in India, Australia, Italy, Greece, Poland, Russia, China, and many other areas of Europe, Asia, and the global South. The first part focuses on the theoretical aspects of fantasy, broadening and modifying existing definitions to accommodate the global reach of the genre. The second part contains essays illuminating specific cultures, countries, and religious or ethnic traditions. From Aboriginal myths to (self)-representation of Tibet, from the appropriation of the Polish Witcher by the American pop culture to modern Greek fantasy that does not rely on stories of Olympian deities, and from Israeli vampires to Talmudic sages, this collection is an indispensable reading for anyone interested in fantasy fiction and global literature.'
