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

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

Stigmata cadges selections from the Gospel of Thomas together to create this gospel, which is a version of the Hollywood gospel hallowing the heroic individual above all things and empowering the fantasy of the subjective, expressive individual.

Obviously, the legacy of antiquity is a permanent feature of Western literature and visual arts; yet, its contemporary manifestation has taken a novel form, that of a retelling. It is a new trend in which a well-known text belonging to the canon is given an unorthodox interpretation, which exposes the ethnic, class, and gender prejudices present in the original. Mythological retellings are often written in an accessible manner containing features of genre fiction, which makes the revised

In the Renaissance period, melancholia emerged as a dramatic cultural phenomenon among the intellectual and artistic elites, with a locus in elegy it gave form to the Renaissance poetics of loss, pain and shedding of tears, expressing essentially the fantasy about death as a prerequisite for revival. The possibilities of confronting the threats of death were being found in its very nature whose inherent ambiguity was determined by the principles of Thanatos and Eros. The creative act of the troping of elegy proved to be an effective literary and musical strategy for the transcendence of death

Abstract:

Mass literature can be analyzed not only as sociological material or as a background for firsttier literature, but also as an independent phenomenon of the aesthetic sphere. Authors of commercially successful literature create more complex texts than their less successful competitors. However, the complexity of the structure of mass works lies not in the philosophical premise, not in the motive system and other aspects of the text that are important for classical literature, but in how specific techniques aimed at keeping the reader’s attention at every moment of time become more complex.

Abstract:

En este artículo propongo el concepto de caballero de frontera para definir el prototipo heroico que surge de la conversión de dos géneros narrativos: el space-western y la fantasía épica o heroica. Este concepto se aporta tras la re-visitación del héroe de frontera en la serie The Mandalorian (Disney+, 2019-2020), de acuerdo con algunos rasgos propios del concepto medieval de caballero andante. El arquetipo del héroe de frontera se adscribe al subgénero de space-western, donde recibe su condición de outlaw; sin embargo, gracias a los elementos de fantasía épica que hereda de su pertenencia al

The title, as one of the most important elements of any publication, has a dual nature. The aim of the article is to evaluate the correlation of advertising and pragmatic functions in the titles of modern mass literature publications. The study was conducted on the basis of an experiment. Thirty-four titles of fiction publications were the material for it; these are books by the Eksmo Publishing House, published in the first half of February 2022. Respondents were asked to choose no more than five titles of books that they would like to read. After that, they had to briefly describe what they

El objetivo de este ensayo es definir el arquetipo nuclear del protagonista prototípico de la fantasía épica contemporánea. Para ello, se tomará como base la teoría de los arquetipos de Jung, a la que se suman una visión actualizada del concepto de héroe en la sociedad actual, el concepto de mitologema, el de monomito y el ciclo solar heroico de Sellier, así como diversas observaciones extraídas de ejemplos de fantasía épica. Una vez dibujado el arquetipo que aquí se plantea, llamado héroe crepuscular, se analiza el personaje Geralt de Rivia para demostrar la aplicabilidad de estas teorías.

This essay examines a number of Filipino superhero films (Captain Barbell, Darna and Lastikman) and how a uniquely American creation was “Filipinized,” taking into account the cultural and social aspects of the Pinoy superhero as demonstrated in the films. For the first time in Filipino film history, three superhero films were included in the 2003 Metro Manila Film Festival. While the producers were most likely following the popular trend in Hollywood, the films Fantastic Man, Captain Barbell, and Gagamboy, still reflect the Filipino longing for a hero to look up to. All films were big box-off

O presente artigo reflete sobre a fascinação pela morte e pela queda do heroi na dramaturgia romântica brasileira. Por meio de uma comparação com outros gêneros, como o épico e o lírico, de acordo com as contribuições teóricas de Hegel (2014; 2001), buscamos analisar o drama histórico Bartolomeu de Gusmão, publicado em 1865. Na obra de Agrário de Menezes, como também na de outros dramaturgos do romantismo brasileiro, as dificuldades impostas à ação heróica e a perspectiva de falha formam parte integrante da configuração da ação. O drama tem como assunto a vida – e a morte – de Bartolomeu Loure

Abstract:

In this paper, I argue that the idealisation of the market economy has perverted the spirit of competition, rendering it uncontained, without boundary, and devoid of superego. I refer to this idealised state as the dark side of competition. It is underpinned by a culture of rationalism untempered by reflexivity, which has occurred by stealth, gradually enveloping parts of western capitalist society in a belief system and behaviours which are regressive and which have seen an increasing split between reality and fantasy. Narrow success indicators have rewarded an adolescent notion of masculinit

Abstract:

The New Wave of British Heavy Metal is a remarkable phenomenon in British cultural history of the 1980s. Trying to identify themselves and to indicate their reaction to the social and political context in the UK, young musicians turned to the representation of fantastic worlds. The language of the “fantastic” in early British heavy metal was primarily associated with themes of mechanization, heroics, epics, mythology, fantasy and science fiction. The musical form was often emphatically epic and majestic, designed to create an audio picture to the lyrics. Visual representations — large-scale, s

Específicamente rastrea en el texto el terror del encuentro con la mujer. De acuerdo con Lezra, el concepto de Mujer es pivote para comprender cómo los conceptos (débiles) emergen. Repetidamente en su obra, el encuentro con la mujer corroe la fantasía del concepto fuerte y del soberano, y surge otra lógica republicana, no escatológica, no heroica, no sacrificial.
