Fantasy as Antifantasy (11) Postmodernist Strategy of Antifantasy: The Ridiculous in The Last Unicorn,

https://www.academia.edu/96008591/Fantasy_as_Antifantasy_11_Postmodernist_Strategy_of_Antifantasy_The_Ridiculous_in_The_Last_Unicorn

This is the translation of the chapter 11 of the study of fantasy literature Fantasy as Antifantasy (2005), in which the inception of the genre and ironical transformation of it is discussed, focusing on the two outstanding masterpieces Peter and Wendy and The Last Unicorn. This is the part leading to the conclusion that estimates the value of ridiculous element in the postmodern fantasy.

Cosmological Implication of Fictionality and Consciousness

I shared "Cosmological Implication of Fictionality and Consciousness" on Academia.

This is a selection of the first and last chapters of Fantasy as Antifantasy 2, the comprehensive study of The Last Unicorn. These parts were originally conceived as an argument on the implication of fictionality, against the cosmology based on the idea of oneness supported by post quantum mechanics.

Finding italicized parts are not correctly shown in the previously shared files, and some of the cited parts are corrupted, I reedited the papers modifying the font and text format. As the first and the last chapters of the comprehensive study of The Last Unicorn were originally written in one as a study of the influence of the quantum mechanics on fantasy literature, I decided to share them as in one file under the title of “Cosmological Implication of Fictionality and Consciousness”.

Study Note on Kokkoku

I shared my manga study of kokkoku on Academia in the link below.

This work is an outstanding example how a fictional work effectively delves into metaphysical speculation on the function of psyche.

Bisque Doll Amalthea

I asked the Bisque Doll Maker Ishihara Rie-san to make a doll in the image of Lady Amalthea. This is the second time she made the character from the The Last Unicorn. Her previous work was the Pirate Cat, or the Autumn Cat. I was very much impressed in her imaginative way of fulfilling the request of her customers. Images of these dolls are shared on Twitter in the link below.
