Re-enchanting the World Miloš Urban, Hastrman; Alain Damasio, Les Furtifs

At the same time, these stories assert themselves as ecological fictions. This article examines the modalities of imaginary construction when it is linked to a gothic unreality by showing how it constitutes an effective literary tool to question how contemporary man stands in nature and toward nature.
