    “From mid-70s we see a steady increase of interest in fantastic fiction. Its extraordinary popularity is visible both on the market and media, as well as academic discourse. […] During our conference, we want to look not only at the fantastic literature and the phenomenon, but also the fantasy in wider sense. Both in the occasion of mapping the literature in this field, and in determining the rules of the creation of the world presented. Fantastic worlds may be, as well, fabulous, mythical or legendary. […]

    We will also reflect on the creation of multi-dimensionality of fantastic worlds, seeking their literary reflections of. We will look at the reception of fantastic fiction at the turn of the twenty-first century,  and we will  discuss  methodological problems of the wider interpretation of selected works. Invitation to participate in our conference is directed not only to literary scholars but also to the representatives of other disciplines who are interested in the issues proposed by our research.”
