VI International Congress of Fantasy Narrative 2019, Lima Peru

Abstract

The VI International Congress of Fantastic Narrative 2019 was held in the capital of Peru from October 23 to 25, 2019. It was organized by the Antonio Cornejo Polar Literary Studies Center and sponsored by the Raúl Porras Barrenechea Institute. Elton Honores took over the lead role for event administration. The call considered the proposals of the fantastic subgenre, from the artistic creations of Borges, Poe and Oesterheld. Also, the fantastic was interrelated with related concepts such as science fiction and horror. His intention was to forge an interdisciplinary link, due to the integration of analyzes of film and literary productions worldwide, as well as efforts to implement with surrounding paradigms such as marvelous realism, magical realism, mythical traditions, minifiction, comic strip and comic. The ideal organization of the congress was successfully completed, in such a way that the bases were corroborated in the investigations. The papers were accepted for corresponding with the suggested topics and a distribution of fourteen tables was made for the more than forty contributions. In these, Latin American and North American researchers were involved in person. Likewise, the Amatto and Honors lectures were held. However, I will return to five works that synthesize the objective and the topics developed in this congress. These address the notion of terror from the cinematographic, science fiction from the literary, the epistemology carried out around Latin American authors and the extrapolation of terror from Poe and Lovecraft.
