        <description><![CDATA[In terms of magical realism and creative projects, one thing you could do is pass out a passage or two from the works on the link I've provided. Then you could present a few basic questions that they must answer through essay form. After reading what their responses are, you could then have them create their own piece of magical realism. Their creation could be a painting, poems, a story, a sculpture, or even perhaps music or a play they act...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Both magic realism and urban fantasy (as in &quot;urban legend&quot;) focus on the merging of probabilities. Urban fantasy combines common, natural probability (as in Balzac, Dickens, Mann, and Chekov) with hypothetical probability, which posits an extraordinary but not impossible condition and draws conclusions from it. Many short stories of Horatio Alger exemplify this tendency. Magic realism, by contrast, goes much further, conjoining...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Magic realism refers to literature that fuses both physical realities and psychological ones.  It is &quot;real&quot; because it takes place in the real world.  It is &quot;magic&quot; because it incorporates dreams, fantasies, and emotions as part of the real world.Urban fantasy deals with stories that more specifically reflect elements of traditional fantasy novels - imaginary situations that are not scientifically probable, but that take...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[While some disagreement exists about the definition of magic realism, it is generally agreed that this kind of writing in one in which &quot;elements of the marvelous, mythical, or dreamlike are injected into an otherwise realistic story without breaking the narrative flow,&quot; according to enotes. Postmodernism, it seems to me, can be considered as a complementary kind of writing. This approach also rejects typical rational, historical, and...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Couldn't Man Ray's work be considered a variation on magical realism?  He certainly took everyday objects and infused them with mystery.  Also, a more modern link might be to the videographer Bill Viola.  If you are not familiar with his work, you must check it out!!  http://www.billviola.com ]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[One way to approach this would be to focus on what photography as a medium means, rather then looking for photographers whose work is specifically similar to the magical realist genre.For example, the images found on the site linked below, from South America in the years 1840-1920 could almost be seen as analogous to the characters in 100 Years of Solitude. While they were not created to be magic realist works of art, what is more magical then...]]></description>
