- W577698881 abstract "Although habitually ignored by ‘serious’ scholars, Terry Pratchett’s enormously successful novels centred on the discworld floating on the back of a giant turtle through the multiverse do provide serious comment on a variety of aspects of past and contemporary culture and mediate, often satirically but thoughtfully, between concepts of high and popular culture. In several of his novels Pratchett engages explicitly with the phenomenon of fundamentalism, dissecting and explaining it and suggesting ways of confronting it – most directly in Small Gods (1992) which, it is suggested, is an early literary response to the so-called Rushdie affair (1989). This article analyses and discusse Pratchett’s literary negotiations of fundamentalism and their impact on popular culture. In addition, it explores the intrinsic challenge to any kind of fundamentalism inherent in the very conception of Pratchett’s multi(!)-verse and its un-Newtonian physics which, paradoxically, is based on popular notions of ‘the’ medieval world view and a number of creation myths as well as the literal interpretation of language and the world(s) created through language. It is argued that the tension between these frequently mutually exclusive elements, expanded through a host of intertextual and intermedial references, is not only a literary expression of cultural relativism but an imaginative and systematic attempt at writing back at fundamentalism." @default.
