With its inherent transgressive moment the fantastic allows for an ideal space of the cultural negotiation of political, social and physical boundaries, which should place it at the center of popular cultural research, not as is the case, at its periphery. But the commencing boom of fantastic themes in contemporary media production has facilitated a paradigmatic change in research, prompting a wide interest in the fantastic in all its forms, from fantasy to horror, from fairy tale to science fiction. This volume addresses this growing interest by reviewing the status of research on the fantastic in Europe so far and by providing a necessary outlook for the future. In the essays current trends, such as the liminality debate, as well as established discourses, as for example on genre theory, are brought together to show interested researchers a network of interdisciplinary (from literary, media and social studies) approaches towards the fantastic. 606 $aFantastic, The, in literature 606 $aLiterature and society$zEurope 606 $aFantasy fiction$xHistory and criticism 606 $aScience fiction$xHistory and criticism 610 $aFantasy. 610 $aScience Fiction. 615 0$aFantastic, The, in literature. 615 0$aLiterature and society 615 0$aFantasy fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aScience fiction$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a809.3/8766 686 $aEC 6805$2rvk 701 $aSchmeink$b Lars$0975069 701 $aBo?ger$b Astrid$f1967-$01496138 712 02$aGesellschaft fu?r Fantastikforschung. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790492803321 996 $aCollision of realities$93720645 997 $aUNINA
