Presentation transcript:

Fantasy-Theme Criticism The fantasy-theme method of rhetorical criticism, created by Ernest G. Bormann, is designed to provide insights into the shared worldview of groups.

Symbolic Convergence Theory Communication creates reality. Symbols not only create a shared reality for individuals but that individuals’ meanings for symbols converge to create a shared reality or community consensus.

Fantasy theme is the basic unit of analysis Fantasy is the creative and imaginative interpretation of events. A fantasy theme is the means through which the interpretation is accomplished in communication.

A fantasy theme is a word, phrase, or statement that interprets events in the past, envisions events in the future, or depicts current events that are removed in time and/or space from the actualities of the group. Fantasy themes tell a story about a group’s experience that constitutes a constructed reality for the participants.

A fantasy theme depicts characters, actions, and settings that are moved from an actual current group situation in time and place. Fantasies are characterized by their artistic and organized quality.
