Magic Realism and World Literature

The term magic(al) realism originated some one hundred years ago. Since then, it has been used to cover sometimes widely divergent literary productions.

Abstract

The term magic(al) realism originated some one hundred years ago. Since then, it has been used to cover sometimes widely divergent literary productions. My argument will be that the success of magic(al) realism results from how it resonates with a set of literary-critical dispensations changing over time. I will discuss four of these.
