Conclusions. 001359271 506__ $$aAccess limited to authorized users. 001359271 520__ $$aThis book offers a definition of the fantastic that establishes it as a discourse in constant intertextual relation with the construct of reality. In establishing the definition of the fantastic, leading scholar David Roas selects four central concepts that allow him to chart a fairly clear map of this terrain: reality, the impossible, fear, and language. These four concepts underscore the fundamental issues and problems that articulate any theoretical reflection on the fantastic: its necessary relationship to an idea of the real, its limits, its emotional and psychological effects on the receiver and the transgression of language that is undertaken when attempting to express what is, by definition, inexpressible as it is beyond the realms of the conceivable. By examining such concepts, the book explores multiple perspectives that are clearly interrelated: from literary and comparative theory to linguistics, via philosophy, science and cyberculture. 001359271 650_0 $$aCulture$$xStudy and teaching. 001359271 650_0 $$aCulture. 001359271 650_0 $$aPostmodernism (Literature) 001359271 650_0 $$aEthnology$$zEurope. 001359271 650_0 $$aPopular culture. 001359271 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001359271 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9783319737324 001359271 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9783319737348 001359271 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9783030088460 001359271 852__ $$bebk 001359271 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-73733-1$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001359271 887__ $$aHM623 001359271 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1359271$$pGLOBAL_SET 001359271 980__ $$aBIB 001359271 980__ $$aEBOOK 001359271 982__ $$aEbook 001359271 983__ $$aOnline 001359271 994__ $$a92$$bISE
