![]() ![]() ![]() Following Bernhard Waldenfels’ (1997, 2006) notes on the nature of otherworldliness and its liaisons with what I call ‘xenotopography’, I shall examine whether the typically fantastic trichotomic model of world (empirical world → symbolical gate → counterempirical world) is not nowadays being replaced with pre-established, immersive and imaginative storyworld (purum figmentum). "In herein paper I shall argue, whether Umberto Eco’s definition of allotopia (Il mondi della fantascienza, 1984) as another, alternate but still “more real than the real one” world should not be revised in the light of cognitive narratology (VR, immersion and storyworlds in Marie-Laure Ryan 1991, Hermann 2002), constructivism (‘reduction of complexity’ in Luhmann 1984), psychonarratology (immersion in Nell 1988, Gerrig 1993) and topography of literature. ![]()
