Magical Realism: Theory and History :: Magical Realism Literature Papers

magical Realism supposition and HistoryWhile reading Franz Roh, Angel Flores, Amaryll Chanady, and Luis Leal, I have well-educated many things round witching(prenominal) naive realism. I alike wise to(p) that in that respect are many contrary definitions for magical realism. I have larn that magical realism is not considered a fairy tale. Amaryll Chanady facial expressions that magical realism is focused more toward reality. However, Luis Leal feels that magical realism is used to stockpile emotions. While reading these essays and finding some research on magical realism, I constitute that many people have many different views on what magical realism is. By doing research, I have found that it can mean many different things, and it is exciting to learn round something as interesting as magical realism is. Learning about magical realism has been very interesting for me. When reading Franz Roh, I in condition(p) a lot about Post- Expressionism and Expressionism. Express ionism involved a photo. It involved animals move in the sky, and it also showed heated heads popped like corks from overflowing bottles, while Post- Expressionism dealt with painting and pictures with frames (Roh 16-17). On the other hand, Angel Flores was a little hard fro me to extrapolate at first. I found myself asking questions such as go away I understand what I am reading? Is this going to bump off sense to me? What am I suppose to see in this American Fiction? I did learn that magical realism has to deal with fantasies indite in Spanish (Flores 110-111). Then looking at Amaryll Chanady, I learned that Flores stated that, practitioners of magical realism clings to reality as if to prevent their apologue from flying off, as in fairy tales, to supernatural realism. Luis Leal also has many different opinions toward magical realism. However, I did not agree with a few of them. I did understand and agreed with a few, though. In Luis Leals essay, I learned that Roh explaine d the origin of the term by saying that with the word magical, as opposed to mystical, he wanted to emphasize that the mystery does not lessen to the represented world, but rather hides and palpitates behind it (120-121). I agreed with what he wanted to emphasize. It was also mentioned that magical realism is not magic literature. Magical realism is used to express emotions not to pull them (120-121). I feel that magical realism is definitely used to express emotions, not to evoke them.
