This book offers a definition of the fantastic that establishes it
as a discourse in constant intertextual relation with the construct
of reality. In establishing the definition of the fantastic,
leading scholar David Roas selects four central concepts that allow
him to chart a fairly clear map of this terrain: reality, the
impossible, fear, and language. These four concepts underscore the
fundamental issues and problems that articulate any theoretical
reflection on the fantastic: its necessary relationship to an idea
of the real, its limits, its emotional and psychological effects on
the receiver and the transgression of language that is undertaken
when attempting to express what is, by definition, inexpressible as
it is beyond the realms of the conceivable. By examining such
concepts, the book explores multiple perspectives that are clearly
interrelated: from literary and comparative theory to linguistics,
via philosophy, science and cyberculture.
