Aims & Scope

Imagining the Impossible: International Journal for the Fantastic in Contemporary Media is dedicated to the interdisciplinary study of the fantastic in today’s entertainment media. The fantastic is widely understood as stories and genres that break with natural laws. We use the fantastic as a supergenre and an umbrella term for all genres that use fantastic elements - science fiction, fantasy, fairytale, supernatural horror, superheroes, and more. The focus is on fantastic fiction in entertainment media, including film, television, games, comic books, and animated films. Media forms such as haunted houses, theme parks, painting and online forums also fall within our scope. Approaches include genre theory and aesthetic analysis as well as theories of world building, design and production studies, transmedia developments, and cognitive, biocultural and evolutionary theories.
