The Sociology of Science Fiction and Fantasy: Monitoring Within Science Fiction and Fantasy Studies Classes at Lomonosov Moscow State University
Abstract
In the previous parts of the article published in Stephanos No 1 and No 4, 2019 we discussed understanding of the term “science fiction and fantasy” by the students as well as their preferences in this field and also abstracted their perception of “ideal” science fiction and fantasy text. In this part of our publication we’ll comment the students’ speech about the most interesting for them fantastic ideas and about who, why and for what create and read science fiction and fantasy books. We’ll also try to learn by which criteria the students select texts in science fiction and fantasy and under what circumstances their hobby to read science fiction and fantasy books begin.
