The Power of Fantasy (With special reference to the literature of E.T.A. Hoffmann, the Brothers Grimm and Michael Ende)

以下是我从2002年到2005年的研究结果。（2002-2003）基于我之前对E.T.A.霍夫曼、迈克尔·恩德和格林兄弟童话文学的研究结果，我试图通过添加泽维坦·托多罗夫在他的《文学幻想导论》（1970）中给出的传统定义和布莱恩·阿特贝利最近在《幻想策略》（1992）中给出的定义来定义幻想文学（FL）的概念。我从以下五个角度来审视这些问题：词源学（FL使无意识和不可见可见）。2.功能。3.内容。4.（FL的第一部作品霍夫曼的《幻想曲》（1814-15），以及18世纪末的英国哥特小说）。5.的长度。（2004）从我的研究结果和对Hoffmann和Ende作品的深入分析，我可以得出幻想文学的两个重要特征是它具有童话的内容，但具有小说或中篇小说的长度。格林兄弟的童话不被认为是奇幻文学，因为他们太短，即使他们的内容是幻想（2005）童话的幻想反映了一个微观世界，这是清楚地显示在他们的历史。最后，笔者对奇幻文学的功能提出了三点建议：它通过描写超自然或无意识来扬弃现实；它让人类为未来的焦虑做好准备；它产生了一种对抗焦虑的顺势疗法，这种疾病直至死亡。

The following is the result of my research from 2002 to 2005.(2002-2003) Based on the results of my previous research on the literature of E.T.A. Hoffmann, Michael Ende and the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm I tried to define the concept of fantasy literature (FL) by adding to the traditional definition given by Tzevetan Todorov in his Introduction a la litterature fantastique (1970) and Brian Attebery's recent definition in Strategies of Fantasy (1992). I examined these from the following five viewpoints : 1.etymology (FL makes the unconscious and the invisible visible). 2.function. 3.content. 4.origin (the first FL work Hoffman's Fantasiestuecke (1814-15), and late 18^<th> century British Gothic novels). 5.length.(2004) From the results of my research and thorough analysis of the works of Hoffmann and Ende, I can conclude that the two important characteristics of fantasy literature are that it has the contents of a fairy tale but the length of a novel or a novella. The fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm are not considered fantasy literature, because they are too short, even though their content is fantasy(2005) The fantasy of fairy tales reflects a microcosm, as is clearly shown throughout their history. Finally I presented three proposals on the function of fantasy literature : it sublates reality by describing the supernatural or the unconscious ; it allows mankind to prepare for future anxiety ; and it gives birth to a homeopathic resistance for overcoming anxiety, the sickness unto death.
