Produktbeschreibung

The guiding question of this study is how the theme of knowledge is realized in the genre of fantasy. Drawing from the research fields of literature and knowledge theory of fantasy narratology and memory orality studies CHINA MIÉVILLE TERRY PRATCHETT KAZUO ISHIGURO AND THE AMBIVALENCE OF KNOWING: AN ANALYTICAL MODEL FOR THE REPRESENTATION OF KNOWLEDGE IN FANTASY LITERATURE furthermore investigates how societal struggles over knowledge are negotiated in contemporary fantasy literature with specific foci on the depiction of technology and risk in China Miéville's The Scar culture and ide ntity in Terry Pratchett's Nation and memory and repression in Kazuo Ishiguro's The Buried Giant. The study finds that while the worldviews the novels espouse with regard to their attitude to knowledge differ considerably they all contain the general notion that knowledge can be dangerous in that the discovery or revelation of hitherto secret knowledge threatens the stability of the society itself or the personhood of individuals. Knowledge conflicts are staged by means of contrasting worldviews which are realized through the novels' character systems. This particularly pertains to the questions of whether it is better to remember or to forget and whether the old or the new society is to be preferred. TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. Introduction9 2.
