Fantastikforschung Then and Now – eine sehr subjektive Standortbestimmung

Contribution by Julia Gatermann in Zeitschrift für Fantastikforschung Forum (Open Library of the Humanities).

What are the particular affordances of the field of the fantastic - science fiction, fantasy, horror and other non-mimetic modes? What can these modes do for us that others maybe cannot? Why is research on the fantastic so important? And what are the challenges of working within this field? 

In her contribution, Julia Gatermann explores these questions, describes the stakes, and attempts to triangulate her own standpoint within it.
