Popular culture is resplendent with fantastical narratives populated by mythical creatures of infinite variety. Very often these narratives have spiritual overtones, plumbing commonalities with various religious traditions and offering an alternative and accessible portal into a spiritual life. Kirby’s Fantasy and Belief is an exploration of the nexus between these narratives, popular culture and spiritual belief, using the Otherkin as a particular case study. The Otherkin, those individuals who identify as non-human, believe themselves to have non-human souls, or at least not entirely human souls, that are spiritually oriented. Kirby distinguishes the Otherkin from other enthusiastic consumers of fan fiction.

丹妮尔·柯比:幻想与信仰:另类宗教、流行叙事和数字文化。谢菲尔德和布里斯托尔,康涅狄格州:Equinox,2013 年;第 ix + 194 页。

流行文化中充斥着各种各样的神话生物的奇幻叙事。很多时候,这些叙述都带有精神色彩,与各种宗教传统建立了共性,并提供了进入精神生活的替代和可访问的门户。柯比的幻想与信仰探索了这些叙事、流行文化和精神信仰之间的联系,并使用其他人作为一个特殊的案例研究。The Otherkin,那些认定为非人类的个体,相信自己拥有非人类的灵魂,或者至少不完全是人类的灵魂,它们以精神为导向。柯比将其他人与其他狂热的同人小说消费者区分开来。
