Description

Explore the complex nature of world-building with Mark J.P. Wolf's Building Imaginary Worlds: The Theory and History of Subcreation. Published by Routledge, this study moves beyond traditional focus on single narratives or specific genres to examine imaginary worlds as dynamic, independent entities. Wolf analyzes how these worlds function across various media, including literature, film, comics, video games, and the Internet. By treating imaginary worlds as transnarrative and transmedial objects, this work provides a fresh perspective for Media Studies. It offers a deep look into how these environments exist across different platforms and authors, making it a significant resource for understanding modern storytelling and media evolution.

Key Features

The text covers a wide range of media including literature, film, radio, television, and board games.

This book examines how worlds function across digital platforms like video games and the Internet.
