Abstract: This article aims to conceptually delimit secondary worlds, by referring to the preferred topos. Fantasy narratives, however, present positive and negative spaces that are in a mythical conflict. The secondary world is usually composed of a eutopia (as a paradisiacal space) and a dystopia (as an infernal space), but neither eutopia of this type nor dystopia are topologies according to classical definitions.
