The Palgrave Handbook of Global Fantasy
This handbook is the first-of-its-kind comprehensive overview of fantasy outside the Anglo-American hegemony. While most academic studies of fantasy follow the well-trodden path of focusing on Tolkien, Rowling, and others, our collection spotlights rich and unique fantasy literatures in India, Australia, Italy, Greece, Poland, Russia, China, and many other areas of Europe, Asia, and the global South. The first part focuses on the theoretical aspects of fantasy, broadening and modifying existing definitions to accommodate the global reach of the genre. The second part contains essays illuminating specific cultures, countries, and religious or ethnic traditions. From Aboriginal myths to (self)-representation of Tibet, from the appropriation of the Polish Witcher by the American pop culture to modern Greek fantasy that does not rely on stories of Olympian deities, and from Israeli vampires to Talmudic sages, this collection is an indispensable reading for anyone interested in fantasy fiction and global literature.

Critical Approaches to Horror Comic Books
This volume explores how horror comic books have negotiated with the social and cultural anxieties framing a specific era and geographical space. Paying attention to academic gaps in comics’ scholarship, these chapters engage with the study of comics from varying interdisciplinary perspectives, such as Marxism; posthumanism; and theories of adaptation, sociology, existentialism, and psychology. Without neglecting the classical era, the book presents case studies ranging from the mainstream comics to the independents, simultaneously offering new critical insights on zones of vacancy within the study of horror comic books while examining a global selection of horror comics from countries suc...

Figure da leggere
Figure da leggere è una raccolta di saggi articolata per generi e questioni: delinea gli aspetti più intriganti del fumetto italiano nell’età del graphic novel e insieme approfondisce alcuni snodi decisivi nello sviluppo della cultura fumettistica novecentesca. Il libro esplora, per casi e per scorci, un immaginario a lungo avvertito come periferico e proprio perciò fascinoso, aperto a inaudite sperimentazioni. Non si tratta però di navigare a vista: il percorso di lettura è regolato dalla modellistica dei generi e dal tentativo di rintracciarne lo sviluppo, così da rendere conto del nesso sempre cangiante tra innovazione e tradizione, tra attese e possibilità. La sottile mutevolezza interna di ambiti tematici come il comico, l’umoristico, il giallo, il nero, il rosa, il sexy si mostra complementare, non antitetica, all’insorgere di una rinnovata promiscuità romanzesca, i cui esiti di composito realismo sono posti sotto le insegne del graphic novel.
