Behind the Frontiers of the Real
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.
Batman and the Shadows of Modernity
This book aims to study the Batman narrative, or Bat-narrative, from the point of view of its nodal relationship to modern narrative. To this end, it offers for the first time a new type of methodology adequate to the object, which delves both into materials scarcely studied in this context and well-known materials seen in a new light. This is a multidisciplinary work aimed at both the specialist and the global reader, bringing together comic studies, philosophical criticism, and literary criticism in a debate on the fate of our current global civilization.

Fakten, Fiktionen und Fact-Fictions
Eine der größten Herausforderungen des digitalen Zeitalters besteht womöglich darin, nicht zu resignieren angesichts der schieren Übermacht medial erzeugter „Fake News“ und anderer – politisch harmloserer – Sorten von Fact-Fictions, sondern Wege zu finden, mit den Verunsicherungen, Uneindeutigkeiten und auch mit bewussten Strategien der Irreführung informiert und differenziert umzugehen. Insbesondere die aufmerksame Beschäftigung mit ästhetischen Medien, die schon immer die Unterscheidung zwischen Fakten und Fiktionen bzw. die Überschreitung von deren Grenzen und darüber hinaus ihr Zirkulieren in Produktions-, Distributions- und Rezeptionskontexten zum Gegenstand hatten, kan...
