Hey all, So before I get to it, just wanted to say hi to everyone, nice to see a thriving community of Sanderson fans. I’m about to undertake my bachelor’s degree dissertation, in Religious Studies. I wondered if any of you could help, give feedback or simply point me in the direction of useful material. Overview: I will explore the idea that – Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere universe, has rediscovered nuance in modern myth-making; combing with a post-modernist deconstructivism. Using techniques, that although prevalent in ancient myth, have been all but absent in modern myth-making i.e. fantasy literature. This combing of ancient knowledge/techniques and post-modernist questioning has led to a unique product of contemporary meaning. What I am looking for: So general feedback or overall comments (but please include feedback of clear points of why for or against). Any academic work that has already been done on Sanderson and pertaining to my question (please include a link). I would also like to hear if you feel there is other fantasy series that are rivals to this. Bit of a serious post for my first one, but that’s my life right now, all about my dissertation. Much appreciated to any constructive comments you can add.
