Keserű József - Lehetnek sárkányaid is

The creation of fantasy worlds is not a new phenomenon, but nowadays there is a greater demand for them than ever before. Why do we have such a strong urge to imaginatively create and inhabit worlds? What is the relationship between language and world building? Can today's fantasy and science fiction narratives be considered myths of our time? And last but not least: what do fantasy worlds reveal about our real world and what do they reveal about us? Your Possible Dragons also tries to answer these questions, among others. He sees fantasy and sci-fi not simply as genres of popular literature, but as cultural phenomena that enable different practices. Mapping, immersion, or even sharing are such practices. Fantasy worlds are not without political aspects either, as they give us the opportunity to look at the usual in a different way. Moreover, when we see our world through them, it also means that we have already transformed it in some way.
