• W839923794 abstract "Illger, Daniel, Jacek Rzeszotnik, and Lars Schmeink, eds. Zeitschrift fur Fantastikforschung 1. Berlin: LIT Verlag, 2011. 146 pp. Paperback. ISBN 978-3-643-99899-6. 14.90 [euro]. This is the first issue of the German-language membership journal (ZFF) from the recently formed Gesellschaft fur Fantastikforschung (GFF) [Association for Research in the Fantastic]. ZFF is a peer-reviewed journal from LIT Verlag, a prestigious publisher of academic studies and peer-reviewed journals in the human and social sciences with offices throughout the German-speaking realm. On the GFF Web site, the journal describes itself as the first academic association in the German-speaking world committed to furthering research on the fantastic in art, literature and culture. (1) Of the journal's three editors, Daniel Illger, Jacek Rzeszotnik, and Lars Schmeink, the latter is well known as a contributing member of the fantastic/sf community in the USA. ZFF is an interdisciplinary journal, currently based in Hamburg and appearing twice a year. It strives to broaden scholarly and cultural insights in this area, and its notion of the fantastic as an umbrella term includes horror, Gothic, fables, myths, and sf, to mention some of the many variations of the fantastic. Besides original essays examining the fantastic across the disciplines, the editors also intend to publish translations of texts from the international canon of research into the fantastic in order to promote and stimulate this research in the German language. In their introduction to the first volume, Illger, Rzeszotnik, and Schmeink elaborate on the vision statement posted on the ZFF. (2) Their goal is to transport research in and discussion of the fantastic beyond the organization's membership and thus to facilitate entrance of German-speaking scholars and fans into a true international fantastic community. The first call for papers was in keeping with their broad definition of the fantastic and, consequently, so are the contents of the journal's first issue. It contains new essays on genre-definition, queer reading The Lord of the Rings, the films of Christian Petzold, and a German TV-series [The Rebellion of the Elderly]. The translation in this volume is an extract from Robin Wood's canonical text Hollywood from Vietnam to Reagan ... and Beyond (revised 2003). Seven book reviews then follow, and the volume closes with notes about the contributors. The footnotes are true footnotes; i.e., at the bottom of the appropriate page, a welcome touch missing from most US journals. Each German essay is preceded by an abstract written in English, presumably to whet the appetite of English-speaking readers. The translation from English into German, however, has a German abstract by the translator. As well as being broad and inclusive in its definition of the fantastic, this first volume of ZFF goes into depth, offering the reader a sampling of media through which the fantastic is exercised--TV, cinema, and literature. The four essays are all of very good quality, well written and each with their own clear foci and methodologies. The leading article, entitled Fantasy--The Heroic Epic of Our Time: An Attempt to Differentiate between Genres by Hans-Heino Ewers, is exactly that: a cogent and thought-provoking search for a definition of the fantastic. By way of Tolkien's Lord of the Rings and examples from German young adult fantasies, particularly Kirsten Boie's Skogland trilogy, Ewers maintains that fantasy deals with the struggle for world order; that is, fantastic writing is political writing that focuses on power, dominion, oppression, property, and riches. He criticizes the traditional juxtaposition of the epic and the novel, affirming that fantasy gives the epic a place in modernity--as a narrative (10)--and that it is a parodic genre or subset of the historical heroic epic. I can already hear the clamor of protest from traditional medievalists as Ewers's legitimization of the much-maligned fantasy reaches their ears. …" @default.
