From Here to Hogwarts
McFarland & Co Inc (Verlag)
978-0-7864-9931-1 (ISBN)
The social relations, societal structures and existential conundrums in the world of the Harry Potter novels reflect our own. When the authoritarianism of Hogwarts falls upon Harry, it is an echo of disciplinary practices in real-world high schools. The economic inequities of the wizarding world mirror those of modern societies. The art, literature and mass media of wizard society reveal our own deep-rooted fears. Harry's world is our world. This collection presents new essays by contributors across a range of disciplines, bringing fresh perspectives on one of the most influential texts in modern history.
Christopher E. Bell is an assistant professor of communication and the director of the Center for Excellence in Communication at the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs, USA. He is the founding area chair of the Harry Potter Studies area in the Southwest/Texas Popular Culture Association.
