Therapy Through Fa¿rie

Autor Anna Cholewa-Purgal
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 25 ian 2017

This book argues that the fantasy fiction rooted in J. R. R. Tolkien's concept of Faёrie, as represented by the fantasy works of the Inklings and of U. K. Le Guin, has certain psychotherapeutic properties. Faёrie's generic 'ethos' seems to draw on 'moral imagination' and on logos (meaning and word), which informs its secondary worlds and encourages a search for an unconditional sense of life, against the postmodern neo-nihilistic aporia. The book postulates an applicability of logotherapy ('therapy through meaning', developed after WW2 by Victor Frankl, ) to the workings of Faёrie, whose bibliotherapeutic potential rests on its generic marks, identified by Tolkien as Fantasy, Recovery, Escape (breaking free from incarcerating meaninglessness), Consolation, and (cathartic) Eucatastrophe.

Descriere

The book views fantasy fiction rooted in J. R. R. Tolkien's concept of Fa rie in terms of its psychotherapeutic properties, akin to Victor Frankl's logotherapy. Therapy through Fa rie in the works of the Inklings and of U.K. Le Guin seems to rest on the genre's embedment in logos, 'moral imagination' and cathartic Eucatastrophe.
