The seventh volume of "Fastitocalon" comprises articles which study the creation of imaginary worlds in works of the fantastic. Some of the contributions focus on the analysis of literary texts from different cultural backgrounds, showing us, among other things, how successful worldbuilding can induce readers to new understandings of the real world. Intertextuality is presented as an important topic as well, as it serves as the base for the correct reading and interpretation of many texts. The authors also research the possibilities of created universes beyond literature, reflecting on the potential limits of transmedial narratives, on the particular characteristics of fanfiction, on the meaning of maps as more than a paratext, or on the role of language in fantasticism.
