- W4256409953 abstract "Fantasy is a genre of popular fiction that is set in imaginary worlds that differ from the modern world in ways that science can't explain, imaginary worlds of magical and supernatural beings and events. Indeed, fantasy can be thought of as the genre of the impossible , as it typically expresses the yearning for an idealized premodern and rural past before the advent of industrial capitalism, before science and reason superseded superstition and faith. Fantasy has been recognized for its utopian possibilities, but most often described by scholars as consolatory and escapist, praised or dismissed as a genre that mystifies historical conditions. Moreover, scholars usually characterize fantasy by contrasting it with science fiction, the genre of the not yet possible . Science fiction often looks to a future of technology more advanced than our own, but with the laws of physics intact or somewhat reimagined and explained via pseudo‐science. However, recent developments in fantasy have begun to alter perceptions about its nature and function. Fantasy now appears able to reveal rather than to conceal the historical conditions of its existence, representing the unreal and the real, the irrational and the rational. Fantasy can sometimes subvert ossified norms regarding genre and regarding reality, while also proposing itself as a way of linking to reality with the intent of imagining how we might in fact alter reality with the assistance of fantasy." @default.
