Opis:
This article analyses the nature of urban fantasy by aggregating the claims, suggestions, and observations made by several different accounts of what urban fantasy is. These accounts comprise six scholarly sources and four sources written by people who are producers and purveyors of urban fantasy. An eleventh “account” is made up of the impressions conveyed by a vast number of book covers identified through Google Image Search. These eleven accounts are analysed with regard to their views on worlds and settings, cities and urbanity, central characters, and the sources of fantastic elements. Finally, the article presents how three major threads in the accounts reveal that urban fantasy has a central, thematic concern with the Unseen. This Unseen is largely related to a social Other that portrays unpleasant aspects of urban life, such as criminality, homelessness, addiction, prostitution, and physical and sexual abuse.

The article Reading It Still Again. A Few Words on Fairy Tales in the World of the Witcher discusses selected issues related to short stories from the volume The Last Wish by Andrzej Sapkowski, featuring the famous character of the Witcher, Geralt of Rivia. Offering a comparative close reading of The Lesser Evil and The Grain of Truth, Karolina Zastępska proceeds with contextualising the terms of, respectively, a fairy tale and a fantasy. By doing so, the author (re)approaches the narrative device of retelling, understood as here as a renarration of fairy tales, legends, themes and threads both from literary and cultural texts.

Opis:
Fantasy literature in the 1980s underwent a revisionist change, which resulted in the emergence of a number of subgenres that challenged the dominant Tolkien model of fantasy writing. One such subgenre, which continues in popularity today, is urban fantasy. Urban fantasy is distinguished by real-world urban settings unsettled by the presence of the supernatural and the non-rational. The classification of the subgenre has predominantly been commercial or industry-based, with little critical or theoretical evaluation undertaken to define or establish its parameters. Within a limited frame of reference the article Theorizing the Emergent Subgenre of Urban Fantasy aims at offering a classificatory framework that identifies the distinctive elements of urban fantasy to further the generic understanding of unique fantasy subgenres.

Adam Przechrzta
Charlie Fletcher
Opis:
It is not a coincidence that urban fantasy is being identified with modern, futuristic metropolises. On its streets, two worlds are juxtaposed: the real and the magical. Unlike the first one, the latter is concealed in shadows, hiding elves, vampires, and other magical creatures from the watchful eyes of ordinary citizens. Only a handful of informed humans have the right to step into this world, which is presented only to the select few. The author of the article Guns and Hats, or a Drowner on a Bicycle: On the (Retro)Industrial Adaptation of Urban Fantasy Subgenre distinguishes between three main tropes of the eponymous convention: a presence of the city, a coexistence of magical and empirical world, and an influence of organisations guarding the secret of the otherworld. All three mentioned tropes are exemplified in two contemporary fantasy novels—Adam Przechrzta’s Adept (The Adept) and Charlie Fletcher’s The Oversight, both set in the nineteenth-century fictionalised reality, which bears resemblance to urban fantasy subgenre. In the end, nineteenth-century city turns out to be the best locale to set a fantasy story that addresses the primary sense of urbanization.

Opis:
The paper entitled How to rule in times of Victorian postapocalypse? Issue of power in the „Frostpunk” video game attempts to characterize power in a fictitious world of Victorian postapocalypse. The text has been divided into four thematic sub-chapters. Part one, a Victorian postapocalypse, explains the use of the term Victorian postapo in modern fantasy, and the short genesis of the post-apocalyptic convention. It was derived from classic horror novels such as Marry Shelley's The Last Man, Herbert's G. Wells's The war of the Worlds. These novels can be called the first works of the Victorian postapocalypse. The next subsection, Frostpunk, is an introduction to the world of the game, its mechanics and the presented story. The next part entitled „The government of souls” contains the characteristics of the Polish video game „Frostpunk”. This game is one of the latest steampunk convention works. It has been discussed in the context of the issue of power. The presented characteristics of the system, the prevailing rules and communication at the level of the overseer-society bear the marks of the „state of emergency” (Agamben). Existing force in the game is one of the most powerful weapons in the arsenal of the overseer, and that gives him full control. The reference to Foucalt's term of biopolitics is important the context of postapocaliptic society (Nijakowski). The survival of humanity is the priority of the survivors. Deprived of rules, power and self-organization, people strive to create a new system, even if it brings with it the necessity of getting rid of one's own personality. Frostpunk, which is a steampunk game, appeals not only to the stylistics, but also to the ideological assumptions characteristic of its first wave of this convention. It appeals primarily to „punk” rebellion. The old model of power proves unable to function in postsociety and falls, replaced by a new one, still imperfect but flexible and constantly evolving, which is described in the postapocalyptic reflection part. Frostpunk read in this way is a reflection on the possible development of events in times after extermination, as well as on the methods and means that human beings can reach in order to survive.

Opis:
on-existent before the late 1980s, in recent years urban fantasy / paranormal romance has become the prevailing form of the monstrous Gothic in popular culture. In little more than two decades, urban fantasy has evolved from striking new genre innovations, coming to constitute a set of nowfamiliar genre conventions. Yet while urban fantasy has risen meteorically in popularity, especially in the last decade, it remains surprisingly understudied as a coherent genre. McLennon in the article Defining Urban Fantasy and Paranormal Romance: Crossing Boundaries of Genre, Media, Self and Other in New Supernatural Worlds provides a clear definition and history of urban fantasy / paranormal romance as a genre. She argues that this genre is both formally and thematically concerned with destabilising new Gothic boundaries—boundaries of genre, of media, of self and Other. Finally, McLennon suggests that these formal and thematic challenges to boundaries offer one explanation for this genre’s broad popularity. The article thus seeks to provide a platform from which we can better analyse and understand both this genre as a whole, and its individual texts, across a variety of media.

Opis:
The Lord of the Rings, ever since its publication, has been something of a nuisance to traditional literary critics and has been maligned often and with zest. The main reason for these strong—and often irrational—reactions are primarily due to the fact that The Lord of the Rings does not fit into the literary mainstream and challenges standard critical assumptions about what a work of twentieth-century fiction should be like. The standard tool-kit of the literary critic seems utterly inadequate. Mediaevalists, in contrast, have often taken a more sympathetic view of Tolkien’s work. Honegger’s article Tolkien Through the Eyes of a Mediaevalist will therefore present several ‘mediaeval’ approaches towards Tolkien, evaluate their critical value and discuss their contribution towards a more adequate understanding of Tolkien’s literary work.

Engine Summer
Opis:
The article John Crowley’s “Engine Summer”: A Postmodern Vision of the Processual Construction of Identity analyses the eponymous novel as pivoted around the narrative’s role in constructing both individual and collective identity. Drawing from Mieke Bal’s narrative theory, as well as a number of established (such as paratextuality) and emerging theoretical concepts (Piotr Kubiński’s emersion), Gancarczyk emphasises the multifacetedness of novelistic references, including the stereotypisation of the Other and top-down control of social relationships. Furthermore, Engine Summer is interpreted here as drawing the reader’s attention to the medium itself and to the embodied text which co-creates narrative identity, allowing for its inscription and transmission—an idea literally realised in a postapocalyptic world of the novel. Finally, Gancarczyk shows how Campbell’s concept of monomyth reverberates in Crowley’s narrative, proving pivotal for the overall interpretation, indicating the active role of the medium and narrative subjectivity in constructing the meaning.

Opis:
Croatian speculative fiction in the last quarter of the century has been dominated by the city of Zagreb. There are three anthologies depicting the capital of Croatia and visions of its future: Zagreb 2004 (1995), Zagreb 2014 (1998) and Zagreb 2094 (2004). Also, in Croatian dystopian fiction, the popularity of which has grown rapidly since 2010, the city becomes a metaphor for the problem of exclusion and deep inequalities between the centre and the periphery. The changes in the literary image of Zagreb over the last twenty-five years illustrate not only the changing perception of an urban space and different ways of experiencing the city by writers, but also depict the evolution of speculative fiction in Croatia by distinguishing its most important elements: the growth of the importance of local motifs and places, as well as blurring the rigid genre boundaries and the evolution towards the so-called slipstream fiction. Thanks to the analysis of literary images of Zagreb, questions about the attitude of fantasy literature of that time towards the main contemporary issues can be raised. The article finally offers a possibility to define either the subversive or conciliatory character of fantasy works in the context of the most dominant ideologies of that time.

Opis:
The article A Fantastic Crucible: Genological and Cultural Syncretism in Ben Aaronovitch Urban Fantasy Series “Rivers of London” explores generic and cultural syncretism in the eponymous cycle. Having defined urban fantasy, the author proceeds to place emphasis on the overwhelming heterogeneity adopted within the genre, which suggests its openness to various influences, transformations and modifications. In this particular case the elements of urban fantasy and the criminal novel have been successfully incorporated to create a harmonious whole. Examining the vision of a city of London as a melting pot, Borowska-Szerszun argues that the fantastic level of the text has been construed as just one more component of multicultural London, in which different cultures, nationalities and religions meet. Aaronovitch’s cycle is shown, therefore, as breaking the predominance of whiteness in the fantasy genre, and introducing, instead, social and cultural diversity, which reveals the potential of urban fantasy to deal with difficult issues of our times and provide a valid commentary about contemporary reality.

The article Extra-educational Bestiary? Transformation of Animal Paradise Motif in Polish Young Adult Fantastic Literature is an attempt to define a new argument for a possibility of animal immortality on the basis of fantasy literature for children and young adults. For this purpose, Ewelina Rąbkowska analyzes three examples of the theme of animal paradise in Polish animal fantasy novels for children and young adults. The main hypothesis of the article is that intuition of fantasy literature tells—in the same way as (defined in some previous papers) “poetical intuition”—stories about significant relationships between humans and non-humans, which last longer than single life. The author argues that contemporary fantasies for young adults are examples of crossing the borders of a traditional anthropocentric point of view. They show a new, post-humanist discourse about animals, change the language, narrative strategies and—what is most important—traditional didactic purposes of the text.

Opis:
The article „This Demonic Bosch”. In Four-Hundredth Anniversary of Painter’s Death by Ksenia Olkusz and Wiesław Olkusz concerns the reception of Hieronymus Bosch in contemporary popular literature. Bosch inspirations are traced in Michael Connelly’s or Jeffrey Lindsay’s crime fiction, as well as in fantasy genre, represented here by Polish writer Jarosław Grzędowicz. Many writers exhibit interests in Bosch’s biography which, in turn, becomes interwoven in their storytelling. These tendencies come not only from the long-observed liaisons between literature and visual arts, but are also a consequence of the increasing popularity of mysterious works of art following Dan Brown’s bestselling novel The Da Vinci Code. In at least a decade after the premiere of Brown’s work, many subsequent books has already proved to be clearly inspired by his concept. This type of novel requires to recall paintings we do not know much about or biographies of painters that are still incomplete or lack precise account of their lives. Accordingly, the oeuvre of Hieronymus Bosch—an enigmatic figure and author of disturbing artworks alike—is presented as a prodigious source of story ideas.
