Opis:: The aim of this paper is to examine Charles de Lint’s novel Widdershins(2006), whose main theme is an interspecies war for the American land. The paper demonstrates how, by exploring the themes of Indigenous suffering, belief in species interconnectedness, reverence for the natural world, and approach to trauma, the novel participates in the deconstruction of colonial structures present in the concept of the Anthropocene. The paper also engages de Lint’s novel in a dialogue with the studies on the Anthropocene to prove that, by providing its readers with alternative modes of thinking, fantasy fiction can contribute to the cognitive change required to save our planet from human-wrought destruction.

Tytuł:: PHENOMENOLOGY OF RELIGION AND THE STUDY OF MODERN FANTASY LITERATURE
Autorzy:: Łaszkiewicz, Weronika
Powiązania:: https://bibliotekanauki.pl/articles/444403.pdf
Data publikacji:: 2014-06-01
Wydawca:: Uniwersytet Warmińsko-Mazurski w Olsztynie
Tematy:: fantasy literature
phenomenology of religion
Opis:: The aim of the following paper is to prove that the tools applied by phenomenology of religion to the study of sacrum, i.e. various religious phenomena and manifestations appearing in our world, can be successfully applied to the study of sacrum present in the secondary worlds of modern fantasy fi ction. When applied, the phenomenological approach will contribute to a better understanding of the imaginary world and of the spiritual dimension of the heroes’ adventures, and reveal the author’s inspiration with particular religions/mythologies. The following paper, fi rst of all, provides a brief summary of phenomenology of religion as a discipline; secondly, discusses this discipline’s applicability to fantasy literature, and fi nally provides a sample study of a fantastic religion present in Guy Gavriel Kay’s Fionavar Tapestry.

Tytuł:: Religious Conflicts and Their Impact on King Arthur’s Reign in Marion Zimmer Bradley’s The Mists of Avalon
Autorzy:: Łaszkiewicz, Weronika
Powiązania:: https://bibliotekanauki.pl/articles/444825.pdf
Data publikacji:: 2017-12-01
Wydawca:: Uniwersytet Warmińsko-Mazurski w Olsztynie
Tematy:: Marion Zimmer Bradley

Morgaine

Christianity
fantasy fiction
Opis:: The aim of the following paper is to examine the conflict between the cult of the Mother Goddess and Christianity, which affects King Arthur’s reign in Marion Zimmer Bradley’s original retelling of Arthurian legends – The Mists of Avalon (1983). The religious conflict presented in the novel is inextricably linked with representations of femininity and the figures of Morgaine (Morgan le Fay) and Queen Gwenhwyfar, who are dedicated, respectively, to Avalon and the Church. By investigating both women’s beliefs, actions, and relationship with Arthur, this paper will demonstrate how in Bradley’s retelling the transition from the worship of the Goddess to Christianity conditions King Arthur’s reign and ultimately contributes to his downfall.
