    Beskrivning

    Questing through the Riordanverse: Studying Religion with the Works of Rick Riordan examines the works of Rick Riordan and explores how these works relate to Religion and Theology. Despite the success and popularity of the works, scholars have not given the Riordanverse as much attention as other Young Adult and Middle Grade fantasy books published during the first part of the Twenty-First Century. This volume begins to address that vacuum, drawing from a number of fields, including Psychology, Media Studies, Queer Theory, and African American Studies, to offer an interdisciplinary interpretation of Riordan’s works and their impact on Religion and Theology. Contributors represent a diverse background, including perspectives from young scholars and students who grew up with the series to senior scholars considering where the series fits in the tradition of fantasy, religion, and literature.

    Recensioner i media

    A valuable collection of essays, not only because of its analysis of Religion and the Riordanverse, but also for its insights into classroom pedagogy and the ways in which fans interact with texts. Fleeson and Medine set a scholarly but engaging and inclusive tone in their introduction, conclusion, and individual chapters, and this tone is maintained throughout by the other chapter authors. It is particularly refreshing to see Tumblr posts discussed alongside Aristotle and Judith Butler, and student reflections included in an appendix: sources often overlooked in academic work but important to consider and include. The result of this approach is an excellent book that is both academic and accessible; focused and inclusive.
