> Literary terms such as "magical realism" and "socialist realism"
problematize the concept of the real as it is portrayed in novels, short
stories, plays, and poems, particularly in cross-cultural studies.
Virtual reality and surrounding philosophies grow in importance in the
information age. Kathryn Hume, in her text Fantasy and Mimesis, contends
that both fantasy and mimesis are responses to reality, rather than
direct representations of it. Anne Swinfen provides a raison d'être for
fantasy, saying:
>
>  All serious fantasy is deeply rooted in human experience and is relevant
> to
> human living. Its major difference from the realist novel is that it
takes account of areas of experience - imaginative, subconscious,
visionary - which free the human spirit to range beyond the limits of
empirical primary
> world reality. (In Defense of Fantasy 231)

> This conference will provide a forum for the discussion of British,
American
> and Polish fictional texts which provide definitions of what is real and
what is imaginary. Papers may be delivered in Polish or in English, and
sessions will be arranged by language. Joint papers (with two
presenters) are welcome. Selected conference proceedings will be
published.
