Abstract:
In a secondary analysis applied to longitudinal data obtained from a panel survey, the authors established how violent and nonviolent television program types were related to three fantasy styles: a positive-intense, aggressive-heroic, and a dysphoric fantasy style. A sample of Dutch children ( N = 354) was surveyed when they were in Grades 2 and 4, and resurveyed two years later. Results indicated that children's fantasy styles in Year 1 did not affect their television viewing in Year 3. However, children's viewing frequency in Year 1 did influence their fantasy styles in Year 3. The longitud

Abstract:
The dimensional structure of Dutch versions of the Imaginal Processes Inventory for Children (IPI-C) was investigated with children in Grades 3–6. According to Study 1, the reliabilities of the nine subscales distinguished within the American instrument were not satisfactory. A principal components analysis (PCA) performed on the subscales resulted in three factors that paralleled the three fantasy styles found previously in a similar analysis of the American IPI-C. However, two of the three factors found were defined by subscales that had a number of items in common. When these shared items w

Abstract:
The article deals with the problem of interpreting the phenomenon of fantasy in modern science. Fantasy has spawned many discussions related to the definition of its sources and genre nature, the relationship with the myth-folklore tradition, the problems of classification, the specifics of extra-literary functions and many others. We consider fantasy to be one of the branches of speculative fiction, which naturally formed into an independent industry in the second half of the twentieth century. Initially having appeared as a genre, fantasy subsequently has outgrown this category. Today we can

The present study is concerned with the relationship between The Faerie Queene and modern fantasy literature; Spenser's poem, a "continued Allegory, or darke conceit", repeatedly alludes to historical, political and religious issues that were objects of controversy at the time when it was written. Initially conceived as a twelve-book epic poem, it is set in the magical Faerie Land, where the Faerie Queene has sent her knights on various quests. More specifically, the issue addressed is whether, and to what extent, The Faerie Queene can be considered an ancestor of fully-developed modern fanta

Based on the analysis of selected examples of power metal song lyrics, she shows how metal bands refer to heroic fantasy and how it helps with placing the theme of bravery in their songs.
