- Title
HACIA UNA DEFINICIÓN MULTIMODAL DE LA FANTASÍA ÉPICA CONTEMPORÁNEA.
- Authors
CASTRO BALBUENA, Antonio
- Abstract
This essay offers a definition of contemporary epic fantasy as a multimodal genre. We will delve into the notion of "literary genre" as a system of elements linked by a common meaning, as well as into the terminological debate about epic fantasy of the last decades to accomplish our objective: to identify its nature. Next, we will explain our proposal for a multimodal genre, based on the three central pillars of epic fantasy (myth, heroes, secondary world), their evolution and how they appear in the new multimedia narratives, as illustrations or video games.
