- W1176292703 abstract "FASTITOCALON: STUDIES IN FANTASTICISM ANCIENT TO MODERN. 4.1/2 (2014). Editors in Chief Thomas Honegger and Fanfan Chen. ISBN 9783868215588; ISSN 1869-960X. 18.50 [euro]. TOLKIEN STUDIES XI (2014). Editors: Michael D.C. Drout, Verlyn Flieger, and David Bratman. ISBN 9781949425337; ISSN 1547-3155. $60.00. For this special issue of Fastitocalon on Crime and Fantastic, guest editors Marek Oziewicz (winner of Mythopoeic Society Award in General Myth and Fantasy Studies, 2010) and Daniel Hade have collected an absorbing group of essays. They note fantastic's engagement with criminal in sources like Shelly's Frankenstein and back through Arthurian romances and beyond, tracing a central concern with issues: desert and punishment, social inequality and class oppression, poverty, abuse, and violence, exclusion and power over others and questions right and wrong asked on an individual and societal level (3). Fantasy, they claim, is a place for experimental thinking, fulfilling the need to imagine a more just world before one can even begin to bring it about (6). On Adventure Time, animated TV series, there is a central tension between laws promulgated by ruling monarch Princess Bubblegum and Finn's role as hero and champion. Katarzyna Wasylak notes that Adventure Time exposes weakness of laws created on basis of ideal transcendental theory of (11)--that is, rift between idealized laws and actual behavior. Several episodes are analyzed in light of a Capabilities Approach to justice, where greatest good is supporting what each individual is able to do and become (15). This is especially interesting when applied to episodes All Little People and Belly of Beast (16-17). Wasylak praises show for placing protagonists in ethically complex situations, in which systems based on pre-established codes of values fail to offer a satisfying solution (20), requiring sophisticated thinking justice in opposition to simply reinforcing idealized laws. In Burning Bridges: How Dragons Challenge Justifications of Humanity, Emily Midkiff identifies ways in which stories featuring dragons explore assumption of human righteousness (23), challenging human/monster divide. She examines Fafnir and dragon in Beowulf, where a doubling of dragon and dragon-slayer underlines ambiguity of hero's morality, in some ways making the hero and dragon indistinguishable (29). Kenneth Grahame's reluctant dragon and J.R.R. Tolkien's Smaug also exhibit this doubling structure; more lightheartedly in Grahame's case, and with many of dragonish qualities distributed through societies of Middle-earth rather than concentrated in Bilbo or Bard in Tolkien. Ursula K. Le Guin and Anne McCaffrey, in their more contemporary interpretations, tie dragons directly to humans, challenging human rationales of animal othering as justifications for their actions (33); in Earthsea books, they are kin to humans, and in Pern books, partners in a symbiotic relationship. Fantasy can be a tool for education in social justice and character development, according to Nicholas Emmanuele's Questing for Justice in Multicultural Secondary World Fantasy for Young Readers, and can be particularly useful for developing thinking issues of race and multiculturalism. Using classificatory theories fantasy, particularly those of Farah Mendlesohn and Marek Oziewicz, Emmanuele finds that stories he is interested in are usually portal or immersive that take place in a world not connected to primary world of reader. These stories may be culturally-specific touchstone fantasies (44), dealing with a single non-white ethnic group or culture; culturally and racially inclusive fantasies (47), in which fantasy world is inhabited by multiple races living more or less in harmony; or critical race fantasies (49), where tensions and conflicts like prejudice and colonialism among multiple races are major drivers of story. …" @default.
