Making use of extended examples from both science fiction and fantasy fiction, as well as the living movement of steampunk, the reader is invited to an argument about how best to define imaginary worlds and approach them as social locations for qualitative research. It is suggested in this volume that increasing economic and existential forms of alienation fuel the contemporary surge of participation in imaginary worlds (from gaming worlds to young adult novels) and impel a search for more humane forms of social and cultural organization. Suggestions are made about the usefulness of imaginary worlds to social scientists as places for both testing out theoretical formulations and as tools for teaching in our classrooms. Wayne Fife is Professor of Anthropology at MemorialUniversity, Canada and the author of Doing Fieldwork and Counting as a Qualitative Method, as well as many journal articles on heritage and eco-tourism, economic inequality and education, play as politics, social alienation, ethnographic research methods, and implicit forms of religion. . 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in Literary Anthropology,$x2946-4226 606 $aAnthropology and the arts 606 $aPhilosophical anthropology 606 $aAnthropology 606 $aComparative literature 606 $aLiterature$xPhilosophy 606 $aAnthropology of the Arts 606 $aAnthropological Theory 606 $aComparative Literature 606 $aLiterary Theory 615 0$aAnthropology and the arts. 615 0$aPhilosophical anthropology. 615 0$aAnthropology. 615 0$aComparative literature. 615 0$aLiterature$xPhilosophy. 615 14$aAnthropology of the Arts. 615 24$aAnthropological Theory. 615 24$aComparative Literature. 615 24$aLiterary Theory. 676 $a605 676 $a300.72 700 $aFife$b Wayne$0963069 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910586581003321 996 $aImaginary Worlds$92905306 997 $aUNINA
