AB This thesis focuses on the representation of human subjectivity, and of marginalized identitiesin particular, through fantasy fiction. The main objective is to discern how, if at all, fantasy’sparticular affordances enhance or make possible the representation of an other (a marginalidentity who has been denied a functional subjectivity) as a subject within the fiction.To do so, the dissertation reviews philosophical and critical theories focused on identityand its relationship to narrative, which are linked through the running image of the mirror, inorder to explain the importance of fictional representations for the process of individual identityconstruction. This theoretical framework supports the analysis of Nora K. Jemisin’s The BrokenEarth trilogy as an example of how fantasy can present alternatives to the ingrained primaryworldstructures and discourses of discrimination which shape individual identity.
