FINAL Current Developments at the Intersection of British Children ONLINE VERSION
1.2
Procedure The present study is divided into two main parts. In the shorter first section, the focus is on essential definitions, concepts and theoretical problems of central aspects of the field of fantasy for children. Subsequent to this introductory theoretical part, the second, practical one carries the main emphasis. Here, we will investigate the state of contemporary developments in children’s fantasy with the help of characteristic samples. The first chapter of part one is concerned with compiling and suggesting definitions of fundamental terms. The second chapter outlines the historical roots of British children’s fantasy, providing necessary background knowledge for the analysis of the modern texts. It is followed by the research report (chapter 3), which presents the current status of the object of out study. Linked to part one by the mediatory, stock-taking research report, the second part is practically oriented and subdivided into three main areas for analysis. Whereas the first section centres on traditional elements (chapter 4), the second one inquires into modern structures (chapter 5). The third section is concerned with formal innovations (chapter 6). This will enable us to trace the diachronic development of the selected aspects of modern fantasy for children in regard to their present as well as future development. In conclusion, a seventh chapter sums up the findings and theses, before proposing an outlook on the possible paths open to British fantasy for children in the 21 st century. 1.3 Methodology The procedure of this study is determined by its aim: Namely an analytical, empirical and hermeneutical one. A descriptive theoretical part provides the necessary definitions of working terms and traces the historical development of the genre. On this basis a cross-section of the inventory of British children’s fantasy, represented by the corpus novels, will be analysed. Traditional approaches, contents and forms are compared to current trends and developments. Starting from the specific and moving to the more general, differences and common interests, but also special cases of contemporary children’s fantasy shall be distilled in order to assemble them in an overall scheme. |
