Ep 16: Heroines, Witchers, Dragons and Heists - Beyond the Monomyth
Manage episode 330730096 series 3263611
In this episode, we finally dive into the massive fantasy genre. We explore the ideas in Gail Carriger's book The Heroine's Journey as an alternative story structure to the more well known hero's journey, and how that works in different fiction formats
We also look at Farah Mendelson's four different types of fantasy - portal quests, immersion, intrusion and liminal - and we also speculate on what the future of fantasy will be in the current dark times. Plus Nick declares that The Epic Is Dead. What do you think?
For detailed show notes and more information about the books, tv shows, movies, roleplaying games and computer games we discuss in this episode, check out the podcast website, podcultureoz.com.
