Toposuri și heterotopii discursive în literatura lumilor secundare

This article aims to conceptually delimit secondary worlds, by referring to the preferred topos. Fantasy narratives, however, present positive and negative spaces that are in a mythical conflict. The secondary world is usually composed of a eutopia (as a paradisiacal space) and a dystopia (as an infernal space), but neither eutopia of this type nor dystopia are topologies according to classical definitions.
