FANTASY LANGUAGE AS A MANIFESTATION OF IDEOLOGIES

Summary/Abstract: The genre of fantasy literature has gained ground in the fields of arts, being included in the making of film art and visual electronic game designs. There is that influence of myths, legends whose presence is evident in the concept of fantasy. Initially, this type of fiction was synonymously associated with children's literature and seen as a way to escape from reality. The presence of magical elements and supernatural phenomena were considered standard points for highlighting the juvenile side of fiction. The fantastic was a distant realm even if in a certain way connected with the real world and the characters drawn into magical and imaginary events and happenings. Wizards, witches, dragons, monsters, castles and caves, swords and dark magic, talking animals and men turning into beasts, undiscovered mysteries, impossible journeys, epic battles with supernatural beings, deities and demons: an endless list of to those popular elements with fantastic content. An analysis of the modern dimension of fantasy fiction can be carried out along three dimensions: realism, audience and classification. While the main concern of literature is that detailed study of human life, fantasy writing is somewhat neglected for inventing its own realms instead of mirroring reality as we know it. For those who perceive literature as a mirroring of the world subject to human senses, stories that break from reality and are based only on the imagination of the writer, they become secondary literature, that pleasant form of enjoyment that often also exposes literary depth, and thus, condemned to remain in the sphere of popular culture.
