This volume is a long overdue contribution to the dynamic, but
unevenly distributed study of fantasy and J.R.R. Tolkien’s legacy
in Central Europe. The essays move between and across theories of
cultural and social history, reception, adaptation and audience
studies, and offer methodological reflections on the various
cultural perceptions of Tolkien’s oeuvre and its impact on
twenty-first century manifestations. They analyse how discourses
about fantasy are produced and mediated, and how processes of
re-mediation shape our understanding of the historical coordinates
and local peculiarities of fantasy in general, and Tolkien in
particular, all that in Central Europe in an age of global fandom.
The collection examines the entanglement of fantasy and Central
European political and cultural shifts across the past 50 years and
traces the ways in which its haunting legacy permeates and subverts
different modes and aesthetics across different domains from
communist times through today’s media-saturated culture.
