Данный магистерский проект посвящен разработке серии романов «Неправильные попаданцы» в жанре фэнтези, публикуемых автором проекта под псевдонимом Таша Танари. В процессе создания авторского проекта учитываются теоретические положения понятий «массовая литература» и «словесность» с опорой на труды ученых, занимающихся изучением феномена массовой культуры. Также ключевым для проекта является представление о многообразии жанра фэнтези и его жанроспецифических особенностях. Результат проекта: изданный в 2023 году роман «Попаданец наоборот, или Эльф в деле»; подготовленный к изданию роман «Попаданка с пропиской, или Эльфийские каникулы»; перспективные планы по продолжению серии романов «Неправильные попаданцы». / This master’s project aims at developing a novel series “The Irregular Popadantsy” in the fantasy genre, published by the author of the project under the pseudonym Tasha Tanari. Within creating the project, the theoretical concepts of “mass literature” and “verbal art” are taken into account, based on the works of scientists engaged in the study of the phenomenon of mass culture. One more key idea is the diversity of the fantasy genre and its genre-specific features. The result of the project: the novel “Popadanets on the Contrary, or an Elf in Action” published in 2023; the novel “Popadanka with a Residence Permit, or Elven Holidays” prepared for publication; long-term plans for the continuation of the series of novels “The Irregular Popadantsy”.

<p dir="ltr">Since the late 1980s, various authors from the US, UK, Australia, and elsewhere have contributed to a literary archive of climate change’s impacts, and charting these impacts has led to a proliferation of both realistic and speculative climate solutions. Because climate change cannot be “solved,” these climate solutions account for both pragmatic answers and considerations of both immediate and future problems. <i>Climate Solutions and Genre Politics in Contemporary Fiction</i> catalogues these climate solutions and their circulation in contemporary fiction. Literary representations of climate solutions enable ethical considerations of different climate solutions in different contexts while thinking through the unfolding impacts of climate change. Literary representations of climate solutions also prompt the formulation of genre politics as an analytical framework because they draw on conventions from climate fiction, science fiction, utopian fiction, and realism to engage readers. Conceiving of genre as a spectrum, <i>Climate Solutions and Genre Politics in Contemporary Fiction</i> identifies four categories (climate engineering, biodiversity work, care futures, and creative work) of climate solutions that speak to different elements of the climate, biodiversity, and care crises. Putting these crises into conversation through different climate solutions, the dissertation<i> </i>delineates new modes of engagement with literary representations of climate change, shifts conceptions of genre in literary studies, and provides insights into the future of climate justice efforts. The complexities of climate solutions, and the genre politics required to assess them, make them a compelling object of inquiry for literary studies, ecocriticism, and environmental humanities more broadly.</p>
