The Worm and the Ecologist: Experiencing Planetarity with Frank Herbert’s Dune by Pierre-Louis Patoine

“…This article explores how Frank Herbert’s 1965 novel Dune offers occasions for the development of an ecological, Gaian sensitivity, pushing the human sensorium towards the planetary (in relation to, and contradistinction to, the global, colonial, and imperial imaginaries) by using tools typical of fantasy and science fiction, such as world-building, immersion, sensationalism, terrain navigation, non-modern epistemologies, oneiric possession, geological actants, dragon-like giant sandworms, and human-eating birds. …”

À mourir de peur/rire : The Great God Pan d’Arthur Machen (1894) by Sophie Mantrant

“…The Great God Pan, Machen’s first major success, is a dark tale that exploits late Victorian anxieties about scientific progress, especially the post-Darwinian fear/fantasy of regression to bestial levels. The text seems intent on making the reader’s flesh creep, and yet many early reviewers stated that it failed to do so, some going as far as claiming that the novella made one shake with laughter rather than with dread. …”

Uczenie się demokracji od dzieciństwa – kaprys czy potrzeba współczesności? by Agnieszka Olczak

“…Thus, the article raises the question of whether teaching children democracy, liberation behaviour, participation, but also responsibility, is a fantasy, a fiction, or a whim, which teachers and researchers who seek, and parents who reject authoritarianism are often accused of, or whether it is a necessity of the modern times and an expression of an awareness that it is essential wisely to prepare the younger generation for life in contemporary society. …”

Apocalypse Now? Kate Atkinson Reads Ovid’s Metamorphoses by Barbara Weiden Boyd

“…Atkinson uses the Latin poet’s interest in change and its often strange permutations as a way of interrogating contemporary concerns about consumerism, environmental degradation, and cultural forgetfulness, against a backdrop of post-apocalyptic fantasy.
