▼ Establishing the literary genre of fantasy, as it is currently known, is largely credited to J. R. R. Tolkien in the mid-twentieth century, though in a broader sense fantastical storytelling has existed for as long as humans have been telling stories. Since its rise to popularity as a contemporary genre, many scholars have studied fantasy in various dimensions, but such study has tended to emphasize genre taxonomy, remaining otherwise generally limited in scope and narrow in focus. This dissertation seeks to complicate an understanding of the term “fantasy,” particularly as it differs from commodified, market-driven genre conventions. It argues that the fantastic represents departure, transformation, and alternative modes of thinking. The project examines major writings on fantasy and the fantastic, including works by writers such as Tzvetan Todorov, Farah Mendlesohn, Ursula K. Le Guin, and Tolkien. It also examines how the fantastic manifests in works not usually thought of as fantasy, as in the writings of Gloria Anzaldúa, and draws upon rhetorical thinkers, such as Wayne Booth and William Covino, while borrowing Kenneth Burke’s dramatistic pentad as a central device to establish a “fantastical pentad.” Part One of this dissertation examines three major capacities of this fantastical pentad: action, object, and experience. As action, the fantastic has the power to complicate, to reimagine—what Tolkien called “sub-creation” and what Paulo Freire called “re-creation.” This produces a fantastical object, or fantasy, that embodies the transformative power of the fantastical act, allowing others to experience it. In turn, experiencing a transformative fantasy offers the opportunity for questioning, evaluating what that fantasy is, how it may or may not be plausible within one’s worldview, and to understand why it is fantastical—that is, what it seeks to transform. Part Two applies these ideas to three sites of inquiry: the composition classroom, games and play, and popular fiction. The project concludes that the fantastic offers, as its primary function, not escapism or mere “flight of fancy,” as has often been claimed in the past, but transformation. This transformation may work in many ways: it may be transformative for the fantasist, who enacts the fantastic; it can be transformative for the audience, who experience the fantasy that the fantasist creates; or, it can be transformative within the object, itself, by reimagining some convention within the writing. This compositional transformation may be a narrative element of fiction such as in the works of Le Guin, where the fantasy is transformative within its genre, or in the writing of Anzaldúa, which blend the fantastic with non-fiction for very material, real-world purposes. This illustrates a cultural significance that reaches far beyond the realm of idle entertainment, providing inspiration and impetus to enact change in the material world.

▼ This project explores what I have categorized as "speculative fiction" in Latin America. I consider all fiction related to irrational or inexplicable events within the framework of "speculative/fantastic fiction." In short, I propose that the most appropriate term for all the narrative analyzed in this Dissertation should be “speculative fiction.” In the first chapter, I analyze a series of narrative texts inside and outside of Colombia and Mexico that have multiple Modernist attributes, and it is precisely their Modernist characteristics (the unrealistic) that construct their fantastic content. I trust that this proposal – to see correspondences between Modernist Fiction and the fantastic – is one of the most original ideas of this project. In the second chapter, I analyze a very similar phenomenon in Colombia. Starting from the literary father of the Modernist novel in Colombia, José Félix Fuenmayor and ending with Philip Potdevin, I examine texts that contain numerous characteristics of the speculative/fantastic. In the third chapter, I analyze a series of texts from the Mexican avant-garde of the twenties that can be considered speculative/fantastic. I note the parallels between the first attempts to write a Modernist narrative during the avant-garde period and the fact that it is also the time in which we are seeing the first efforts to write a narrative of speculative/fantastic nature. These factors contribute to my basic approach that the Modernist novel and the speculative/fantastic novel are a noteworthy parallel. In the conclusion, I address my main interest of storytelling. Brian Boyd, Jonathan Gottschall and other scientists, such as Michael Kosfeld and Markus Heinrichs, who have studied storytelling propose that storytelling, from the first homo sapiens, has not only been important in cultural terms, but also in biological evolution. Our bodies – and especially the brain – need stories. This project proposes that it is productive and healthy to tell stories, especially those that deal with movement. For example, scientists have proven that the movement (physical or spiritually) has allowed the brain to evolve. By telling stories, we reproduce our primordial need for movement. When reading stories, of course, we are immobile, but the act of reading stories and narratives allows us to recreate that primordial need for movement. Some very recent post-Boyd scientists have shown that telling stories produces certain chemicals in the brain, such as the hormone oxytocin. This hormone produces a feeling of well-being when produced by the brain. Scientists have also shown that the brain does not distinguish between real physical movement and reading a story in which we have the cerebral sensation of moving.

Entre 1950 et 1971, Matheson publie 89 nouvelles dont plusieurs ont constitué des jalons de la culture populaire, par exemple «Born of Man and Woman», «Nightmare at 20,000 Feet», «Steel» ou encore «Duel».Très versatile, il s'imprègne des attentes des magazines de science-fiction et de fantastique américains qui sont en plein bouleversement dans les années 1950. Cette thèse se propose d'étudier les caractéristiques génériques des nouvelles, qui se comprennent également au prisme de la société américaine d'après-guerre : traumatisme de l'utilisation de la bombe sur Hiroshima et Nagasaki, peurs liées à la menace nucléaire, rhétorique paranoïaque du Maccarthysme, développement des banlieues et de leur espace conformiste et attentes de la société vis-à-vis des hommes blancs de la classe moyenne. Les structures et thématiques de la littérature de l'imaginaire, l'aliénation, l'altérité (les monstres, les extraterrestres, les robots), la mécanisation et la robotisation du travail, les objets hantés, la possession, permettent de mettre en évidence les tendances de l'imaginaire mathesonien. Écrivain de la solitude, Matheson excelle à faire partager le point de vue du paranoïaque, du monstre, du robot, et plus largement du marginal qui ne parvient pas à donner un sens au monde qui l'entoure, et dont les interrogations ontologiques et métaphysiques représentent autant de mise-enabyme de récits de création du monde. Le solitaire trouve son paroxysme dans la figure du survivant, qui devient le paradigme de l'imaginaire de Matheson.

Between 1950 and 1971, Matheson published 89 short stories, among which several proved essential in popular culture, such as "Born of Man and Woman", "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet", "Steel", or "Duel". As a very versatile author, Matheson was also a pragmatic and he understood what the science fiction and fantasy magazines expected, especially in the 1950s when such magazines were undergoing deep changes. This study is an attempt to analyze the generic characteristics of Matheson's short fiction, also to be understood from a cultural point of view and through the main features of American society after the second world war: traumas after the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, fears of nuclear annihilation, paranoid style in politics and Maccarthyism, development of the suburbs and conformism, as well as social expectations for middleclass white males.Structures such as alienation, alterity (monsters, aliens, robots), mechanization of work, haunted objects, possession, that all highlight Matheson's recurrent themes.Matheson specialized in the writing of loneliness, excelling in making the reader share the character's point of view, that of the paranoid, the monster, the robot or more generally speaking, of the marginal who cannot make sense of their environment. Their metaphysical and ontological questioning create mise-en-abyme of narratives of world building and creation. The solitary character culminate into the character of the survivor, paradigmatic of Matheson's fiction.

En 1957, Julio Cortázar rédigea une lettre à Roger Caillois encore inédite à ce jour. Il y fait l’analyse critique de L’incertitude qui vient des rêves, essai de Caillois publié en 1956. L’objet de cette thèse est de contextualiser la rédaction de cette lettre ainsi que la théorie onirique qui y est exposée par Cortázar. Adoptant une méthodologie génétique et intertextuelle, on propose une première analyse de ce document, qui peut être défini comme une « lettre-essai », afin de lui accorder la place qui doit être la sienne au sein de l’œuvre cortazarienne. On démontre ensuite que cette lettre peut être lue comme la synthèse d’une théorie et d’une pratique des rêves clés dans les premiers textes cortazariens, notamment à travers le personnage alter ego et récurrent de Gabriel Medrano, et qu’elle est l’avant-texte d’un rêve de ce personnage dans Los premios. La mise au jour de points de convergence et de passages parallèles entre la « lettre-essai » et ces premiers textes révèle que le complexe onirique cortazarien s’associe à un complexe de l’Autre, à travers les images de la main tendue et du double nocturne. Enfin, le désaccord qui oppose Cortázar à Caillois sur la question des rêves est replacé au sein d’une relation personnelle et professionnelle complexe et dans le contexte d’une opposition intellectuelle plus large autour des concepts de raison, de fantastique et de langage. On se demandera ainsi dans quelle mesure l’œuvre de Cortázar a pu se construire à l’épreuve du dissentiment qui l’opposa à Caillois sur ces différents sujets.

In 1957, Julio Cortázar wrote to Roger Caillois a letter still unpublished to date. He conducts a critical review of L’incertitude qui vient des rêves, an essay by Caillois published in 1956. The subject of this thesis is to contextualise the writing of this letter as well as the oneiric theory which is exposed by Cortázar in this letter. An initial analysis of this document, which can be defined as a “letter-essay”, is proposed by adopting a genetic and intertextual methodology, in order to give this letter its rightful place in Cortázar’s works. It is then demonstrated that this letter can be read as the synthesis of a theory and a practice of the key dreams in the first cortazarian texts, particularly through Gabriel Medrano's alter ego and recurrent character, and that it constitutes the “avant-texte” of a dream of this character in Los premios. The coming to light of areas of convergence and parallel passage between the “letter-essay” and these first texts reveals that the cortazarian oneiric complex echoes a complex of the Other through the figures of the helping hand and of the nocturnal alter. Finally, the disagreement between Cortázar and Caillois over the issue of dreams is placed within the context of a personal, professional and complex relationship, and of a larger intellectual opposition about the concepts of reason, fantastic and language. It will then be pondered to which extent Cortázar’s works was built in the test of the dissent between him and Caillois over these…

[pt] Esta tese busca relacionar mística cristã, que é o fundamento da própria teologia, e literatura fantástica compreendendo esta como lugar tanto da teologia como da experiência mística. Afirmamos, portanto, que a literatura fantástica constitui uma forma de expressão da mística cristã. O que há em comum entre as definições desses conceitos é a dimensão do mistério que ambos compartilham. Pois, por um lado, a mística nos lembra da inefabilidade divina, diante da qual toda expressão da linguagem, embora necessária à sistematização da fé, revela-se insuficiente, uma vez que a experiência de Deus ultrapassa os limites do conhecimento racional-lógico da realidade. Por outro lado, a literatura fantástica introduz no mundo cotidiano a dimensão do insólito, do fantástico, do maravilhoso que enriquece a própria vida. Ambas traduzem experiências que são inquietantes e fundamentais à vida humana. Estas experiências inquietantes estão intimamente vinculadas à dimensão teológica e mística da existência. Por isso, a literatura fantástica é capaz de transmitir experiências profundamente humanas, incluindo as experiências teológicas e místicas. A partir dessa relação, o objetivo é investigar a experiência pessoal e algumas obras ficcionais do escritor irlandês C. S. Lewis a fim de perceber como, seja em sua vida, seja em sua produção literária, Lewis aborda questões vinculadas à mística cristã e à teologia por meio do uso da literatura fantástica.

[en] This thesis seeks to relate Christian mystique, which is the foundation of theology itself, and fantastic literature comprising this as a place of both theology and mystical experience. We affirm, therefore, that the fantastic literature constitutes a form of expression of the Christian mystique. What is common in the definitions of these concepts is the dimension of the mystery they both share. For, on the one hand, mystique reminds us of the divine ineffability, in the face of which every expression of language, though necessary to the systematization of faith, is insufficient, since the experience of God goes beyond the limits of rational-logical knowledge reality. On the other hand, fantastic literature introduces into the everyday world the dimension of the unusual, the fantastic, the wonderful that enriches life itself. Both translate experiences that are disturbing and fundamental to human life. These disturbing experiences are intimately linked to the theological and mystical dimension of existence. That is why fantastic literature is able to convey profoundly human experiences, including theological and mystical experiences. From this relationship, the aim is to investigate the personal experience and some fictional works of the Irish writer C. S. Lewis in order to realize how, in his life or in his literary production, Lewis addresses issues related to Christian mystique and theology through the use of fantastic literature.

▼ My thesis begins with an overview of sensibility (chuvstvitel'nost') and passion (strast') in Russian Sentimentalism, with a focus on the prose fiction of Nikolai Karamzin. After describing the correlation between passion and madness (a commonplace of eighteenth- and early-nineteenth-century discourse) and the emergence of a positive Romantic model of madness (featured in the works of E.T.A. Hoffmann and Vladimir Odoevskii, among others), I go on to show that Aleksandr Pushkin and Nikolai Gogol—the most celebrated poet and prose writer of the Romantic era in Russia—both depict madness in a rather un-Romantic light. In the second chapter, I discuss Pushkin’s eclectic treatments of madness, identifying classic tropes of literary madness and several likely sources. I use peripeteia and anagnorisis (concepts from Aristotelian poetics) to address the intersection of madness and plot, and I examine Pushkin’s use of the fantastic in, and the influence of early French psychiatry on, his depictions of madness. The remainder of the text is devoted to three of Gogol’s Petersburg tales, linked by their mad protagonists and the influence of the Künstlerroman: “Nevskii Prospect,” “The Portrait,” and “Diary of a Madman.” I suggest that Piskarev’s story in “Nevskii Prospect” functions as a parody of Karamzin’s fiction, with which it shares a narratorial mode (Dorrit Cohn’s “consonant thought report”). I also maintain that poshlost' plays an important role in the story, and is itself connected to Sentimentalism and ‘sentimentality.’ Next, I outline three types of passion in “The Portrait”—divine, demonic, and petty—and argue that although Chartkov’s downfall has supernatural (satanic) origins, it is also a product of poshlost'. Rather than the either/or of the fantastic, I contend that in “The Portrait,” evil—and, by extension, madness—is both individual and social. Subsequently, I show that in both “Nevskii Prospect” and “The Portrait,” the passions are depicted in terms of physiognomy, which relates to Gogol’s (negative) treatment of balls, fashion, and comme il faut in the Petersburg haute monde. I begin my reading of “Diary of a Madman” by discussing the depiction of madness in texts with first-person character narrators (which do not allow for thought report) and the interpretive difficulties posed by Poprishchin’s radical narratorial unreliability. Taking seriously Robert Maguire’s suggestion that “we could very well … read Gogol’s [“Diary of a Madman”] as a case study,” I read “Diary” through a Freudian lens, tracing the progression of Poprishchin’s madness from hallucination and paranoia to schizophrenic megalomania (65). Ultimately, I argue that Gogol’s treatment of madness is a profoundly negative response to Hoffmann and Odoevskii. Unlike the mad artistic geniuses of the positive Romantic model—who experience creative inspiration and metaphysical insight—Gogol’s madmen are misled by the irrational (dreams, imagination, passions), and it is precisely the revelation of truth that drives them mad. I contend that… Advisors/Committee Members: Kaganovsky, Lilya (advisor), Cooper, David (committee member), Randolph, John (committee member).

V prvem delu magistrske naloge so predstavljene značilnosti fantastične pripovedi ter delitev zgodovinskega proznega žanra v mladinski književnosti. Zanimalo nas je, kako se v izbranih delih kažejo realni zgodovinski dogodki ter njihov vpliv na zgodbo. Izbrali smo dvajset del slovenskih avtorjev, in sicer: France Bevk: Peter Klepec (1956), Maja Brodschneider Kotnik: Čevljarček (2009), Dušan Čater: Veronika Deseniška (1995), Fran Levstik: Martin Krpan (2010), Helena Štefančič: Grad nesrečne ljubezni (2006), ljudska: Kralj Matjaž in sol (2003), Stanka Devjak: Agata, žlahtni cvet s Štraleka (2014), Maja Furman: Deček in Zajcklošter (2015), Žiga X Gombač: Živa in Prabled (2012), Živa, vitez in zmaj (2013), Živa in antični rojstni dan (2014), Dan, ko je izginil Ljubljanski grad (2014), Živa in stiška kneginja (2016), Niko Kupper: Kralj Samo (2008), Primož Trubar (2008), Modest Gosposvetski (2009), Skriti zaklad: Brižinski spomeniki (2009), Zgodba o čarobni prisegi: knežji kamen (2012), Miklova Zala in uporni kmetje (2016) in Andreja Vukmir: Kamniška Veronika (2009). V osrednjem delu naloge so izbrana dela natančno analizirana. Kriteriji, ki so se upoštevali pri izboru del, so bili naslednji: delo je napisal slovenski avtor in spada med mladinsko fantastično prozo, nadalje se je upoštevalo pri izboru del tudi to, da so v delo vključeni zgodovinski elementi. Pri izboru del smo se omejili na literarna dela, ki zajemajo prostor današnje Slovenije ali zgodovinske osebe, ki so živele na tem ozemlju ali imele vpliv nanj. Predstavljeni so splošni podatki o delu, zgodba, glavni in stranski literarni liki, snov, tema, motivi ter jezikovne značilnosti. V vsaki pripovedi so posebej izpostavljeni zgodovinski elementi ter primerjava z realnim zgodovinskim ozadjem. Ker se v delih navajajo resnični zgodovinski podatki, je izpostavljeno tudi medpredmetno povezovanje s predmetom zgodovina.

The first part of the master’s thesis presents the characteristics of a fantastic tales and the categorization of the historical prose genre in children literature.

Ce mémoire est centré sur les caractéristiques fantastiques dans le Spectre large de Gérard Prévot (1975) et par la suite, sur une comparaison avec les caractéristiques d’un autre recueil de Prévot, la Nuit du Nord (1974), étudié par Ricci en 1993. Notre analyse est basée sur la théorie du fantastique de Tzvetan Todorov qui met en avant l’hésitation à savoir si le phénomène énigmatique provient de l’étrange ou du merveilleux. L’étude de l’œuvre littéraire de Prévot est intéressante car, comparé aux autres fantastiqueurs belges comme Jean Ray ou Thomas Owen, Gérard Prévot reste relativement inconnu et peu étudié. Pour ce qui est du résultat, nous trouvons que les contes du recueil ont des qualités variées relativement à la théorie fantastique. Les principales caractéristiques fantastiques du Spectre large naissent surtout grâce à une narration à point de vue limité et au narrateur obscur, parfois inconnu. Le fantastique naît aussi grâce à l’intrigue qui fait venir la force perturbatrice, souvent à la toute dernière page. En comparant nos résultats avec l’étude de Ricci (1993), nous trouvons plusieurs points en commun mais aussi de divergence. Prévot a écrit les deux livres en utilisant un lexique similaire et les contes se déroulent souvent dans des lieux similaires, dans le Nord — un lieu ayant des connotations mystiques. Un fantastique dit « social » se trouve aussi dans les deux recueils. La principale différence entre les deux livres est la narration. Tandis que le narrateur de la Nuit du Nord possède un savoir absolu qui lui donne le statut omniscient, il est clairement limité dans son point de vue et parfois anonyme dans le Spectre large.

This thesis is centred on the fantastic features in Le Spectre Large by Gérard Prévot (1975) and subsequently on a comparison with the features from another collection by Prévot, La Nuit du Nord (1974), studied by Ricci in 1993. The analysis is based on Tzvetan Todorov’s theory of the fantastic, which puts its emphasis on the hesitation whether the enigmatic phenomena has its origins in the natural (uncanny) or the supernatural (marvellous) world. The research of Prévot’s literary work is interesting given that, compared to other Belgian fantastic writers such as Jean Ray or Thomas Owen, Gérard Prévot is still rather unknown and not much studied. With regard to the results, it is found that the stories have a mixed qualities in relation to fantastic theory. In the better tales, the fantastic is born out of a narration with a limited point of view and a vague and sometimes unknown narrator. It is also born out of the plot which introduces the disruptive elements at the very last page. When comparing the corpus with Ricci’s study (1993), several common features are found, but also a few differences. Prévot has written the two books using a similar vocabulary and the stories often take place in related environments…
