Surveying a wide-ranging scope of literary texts, this book covers the gothic, fantasy, the Weird, and other forms of speculative fiction to argue that \u003ci\u003eFantastika \u003c\/i\u003epositions entanglement as an ethical imperative that transforms our imaginative relationship with materiality. In so doing, it synthesizes perspectives from a similarly diverse range of areas, including ecology, physics, anthropology, and literary studies, to examine the storied matter of children’s \u003ci\u003eFantastika\u003c\/i\u003e as ground from which we might begin to imagine an as-yet-unrealised future that addresses the problems of our present.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55536208970102,"sku":"9781350167018","price":93.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_27250186.jpg?v=1745346564","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781350167018-the-dark-matter-of-childrens-fantastika-literature","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
