Mark J. P. Wolf's study of imaginary worlds theorizes world-building within and across media, including literature, comics, film, radio, television, board games, video games, the Internet, and more. Building Imaginary Worldsdeparts from prior approaches to imaginary worlds that focused mainly on narrative, medium, or genre, and instead considers imaginary worlds as dynamic entities in and of themselves. Wolf argues that imaginary worlds-which are often transnarrative, transmedial, and transauthorial in nature-are compelling objects of inquiry for Media Studies. Chapters touch on:a theoretical analysis of how world-building extends beyond storytelling, the engagement of the audience, and the way worlds are conceptualized and experienceda history of imaginary worlds that follows their development over three millennia from the fictional islands of Homer'sOdysseyto the presentinternarrative theory examining how narratives set in the same world can interact and relate to one anotheran examination of transmedial growth and adaptation, and what happens when worlds make the jump between mediaan analysis of the transauthorial nature of imaginary worlds, the resulting concentric circles of authorship, and related topics of canonicity, participatory worlds, and subcreation's relationship with divine CreationBuilding Imaginary Worldsalso provides the scholar of imaginary worlds with a glossary of terms and a detailed timeline that spans three millennia and more than 1, 400 imaginary worlds, listing their names, creators, and the works in which they first appeared. | Building Imaginary Worlds by Mark J. p.
