Surveying a wide-ranging scope of literary texts, this book covers the gothic, fantasy, the Weird, and other forms of speculative fiction to argue that \u003ci\u003eFantastika \u003c\/i\u003epositions entanglement as an ethical imperative that transforms our imaginative relationship with materiality. In so doing, it synthesizes perspectives from a similarly diverse range of areas, including ecology, physics, anthropology, and literary studies, to examine the storied matter of children's \u003ci\u003eFantastika\u003c\/i\u003e as ground from which we might begin to imagine an as-yet-unrealised future that addresses the problems of our present.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chloe Germaine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350167010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350167018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/19\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.11lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d","brand":"Chloe Germaine","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44491528798463,"sku":"9781350167018","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3350468d-bdf1-43f3-85b3-4b8dcc3b2f53.jpg?v=1699451717","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-dark-matter-of-childrens-chloe-germaine-9781350167018","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
