Fantastique
''Fantastique'' is a French term for a literary and cinematic genre and mode that is characterized by the intrusion of supernatural elements into the realistic framework of a story, accompanied by uncertainty about their existence. The concept comes from the French literary and critical tradition, and is distinguished from the word "fantastic", which is associated with the broader term of fantasy in the English literary tradition. According to the literary theorist Tzvetan Todorov (''Introduction à la littérature fantastique''), the ''fantastique'' is distinguished from the marvellous by the hesitation it produces between the supernatural and the natural, the possible and the impossible, and sometimes between the logical and the illogical.

The genre emerged in the 18th century and knew a go ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
