From The Brothers Karamazov to Star Trek to Twin Peaks, this
collection explores a variety of different imaginary worlds both
historic and contemporary. Featuring contributions from an
interdisciplinary and international group of scholars, each essay
looks at a particular imaginary world in-depth, and world-building
issues associated with that world. Together, the essays explore the
relationship between the worlds and the media in which they appear
as they examine imaginary worlds in literature, television, film,
computer games, and theatre, with many existing across multiple
media simultaneously. The book argues that the media incarnation of
a world affects world structure and poses unique obstacles to the
act of world-building. The worlds discussed include Nazar,
Barsetshire, Skotopogonievsk, the Vorkosigan Universe, Grover's
Corners, Gormenghast, Collinsport, Daventry, Dune, the Death Gate
Cycle universe, Twin Peaks, and the Star Trek galaxy. A follow-up
to Mark J. P. Wolf 's field-defining book Building Imaginary
Worlds, this collection will be of critical interest to students
and scholars of popular culture, subcreation studies, transmedia
studies, literature, and beyond.
