Descrierea
disciplinei
(tradus
n limba englez)
Employing writers and works from various historical periods and literary movements, the course theorizes and analyses the
ideas of fictional worlds and imaginary worlds, chronotope and worldmaking. Starting from ancient and medieval maps as
well as from historical and fabulous narratives, the course conceptualizes areas such as symbolic history and geography,
mimetic geographies and fantastic geographies, mythodology and semantic pools (G. Durand). The body of works
proposed for analysis includes a series of initiating travels, each depending on a particular worldview, and conveying a
specific imaginary representation of the terrestrial globe: Alexandre's novel written by Pseudo-Calistene and his medieval
translations, including Romanian; Gulliver's Travels by J. Swift; E. A. Poe's "sea" stories, Manuscript Found in a Bottle, A
Descent into the Maelstrm, The Adventures of Arthur Gordon Pim; Friday, or the Other Island by M. Tournier; The
Neverending Story by Michael Ende; the postmodern novels of U. Eco i H. Murakami, Baudolino, The Island of the Day
Before and Hard-boiled Wonderland and the End of the World.
