  • Affective Reading in Margery Kempe, Petrarch, Chaucer, and Modern Fan Communities
    Immature Pleasures: Affective Reading in Margery Kempe, Petrarch, Chaucer, and Modern Fan Communities by Anna Patricia Wilson A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of PhD in Medieval Studies Centre for Medieval Studies University of Toronto © Copyright by Anna Wilson 2015 ii Immature Pleasures: Affective Reading in Margery Kempe, Petrarch, Chaucer, and Modern Fan Communities Anna Patricia Wilson PhD Medieval Studies Centre for Medieval Studies University of Toronto 2015 Abstract This thesis explores the ideological significance of immaturity to several late medieval texts that focus on the conjunction between reading and feeling. Using examples from modern fanfiction to help theorize affective reception (that is, reading and response that privileges feeling), this thesis argues that approaching medieval texts with a ‘fannish hermeneutics’ highlights how ideas of age and temporality structure relationships between reader and text across late medieval reading communities. In particular it examines how Margery Kempe, Petrarch, and Chaucer performed, resisted and played with the idea of immature reading in their texts. For each author, an immature relationship with texts becomes a space of inappropriate desires and emotional excess, ambivalence, anxiety, and subversive power. Although these authors moved in different intellectual communities, all interacted with a shared cultural ideology of immaturity and reading that emerged primarily from monastic theories of reading and worship from the twelfth to fourteenth centuries. This study argues for the centrality of a ‘fannish hermeneutics’ to this reading tradition in Chapters One and Two, and in Chapters Three and Four further argues Petrarch’s debt to this same tradition of affective piety.

Sanchez University of Pennsylvania Follow this and additional works at: https://repository.upenn.edu/anthro_seniortheses Part of the Anthropology Commons Recommended Citation Sanchez, Julie R., "Liminality, Marginality, Futurity: Case Studies in Contemporary Science Fiction" (2014). Anthropology Senior Theses. Paper 154. This paper is posted at ScholarlyCommons. https://repository.upenn.edu/anthro_seniortheses/154 For more information, please contact [email protected]. Liminality, Marginality, Futurity: Case Studies in Contemporary Science Fiction Abstract This thesis analyzes the relationship between science fiction worlds and the worlds in which they are imagined. While this study is interdisciplinary, the central concept employed is Victor Turner’s theory of liminality. Science fiction worlds are liminal spaces; though they are cognitively or existentially linked to objective reality, the points of divergence reveal the boundaries of dominant cultural paradigms. The liminal worlds of science fiction are particularly hospitable to marginalized groups, such as racial, ethnic, and sexual minorities. Engaging with other worlds is method for theorizing alternate structures of reality. Drawing from Darko Suvin’s work on science fiction and utopia, I argue that imagining other worlds through science fiction world-building is a powerful tool for world-making. The thesis contains three case studies of 21st century American science fiction authors, all of whom eflectr trends in postmodern writing. John Scalzi’s critically acclaimed novels parody common science fiction tropes, simultaneously revealing and revising our understanding of the genre. His theory of Narrative in Redshirts is a powerful allegory for Bourdieu’s theory of doxa.

  • Speculative Fiction for the Future of Man and Civilization
    Speculative Fiction for the Future of Man and Civilization Bogdan Trocha1 Doctor of Science (Philology), Professor, University of Zielona Góra (Zielona Góra, Poland) E-mail: [email protected] https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2348-4813 The main thesis of the article is the comparison of speculative fiction with the challenges facing modern man. Introductory questions are two issues. How can fantasy become the subject of cultural reflection on the future of human civilization? Can contemporary speculative fistion act as an instructional story about the unknown? The author indicates several basic models of using speculative fiction. However, it limits itself to creating an introductory canon, which is associated with literary speculations regarding the impact of man and technology on the future of civilization. Keywords: myth, speculative fiction, political fiction, space opera, postapocalyptic fiction, ecological science fiction Received: September 11, 2019; accepted: October 5, 2019 Future Human Image, Volume 12, 2019: 104-114. https://doi.org/10.29202/fhi/12/9 In the face of the unknown — in search of model stories: myth, fantasy, speculative fiction The notion of speculative fiction has been firmly established in popular culture for many years. However, while it is very easy to point to the essential features of the poetics of this type of novel, it is much more difficult to point to the cultural paradigm from which both speculative fiction and the need to use this type of poetics stems. The foundations of this type of cognitive and creative procedures should be found in two aspects of the human condition. The first one is certainly the aspiration to discover the sense of everything that man experiences in various ways in the world around him.

  • THOUGHT EXPERIMENT & Paul Di Filippo PUSHING the WORLD in a CERTAIN DIRECTION and OTHER ACTS of SUBMISSION
    Alvaro Zinos-Amaro THOUGHT EXPERIMENT & Paul Di Filippo PUSHING THE WORLD IN A CERTAIN DIRECTION AND OTHER ACTS OF SUBMISSION George Orwell, in his oft-quoted essay “Why I Write” (1946), asserts that in every writer there “exist in different degrees” four motives for writing: sheer egoism, aes- thetic enthusiasm, historical impulse, and political purpose. Elaborating on this last one, he notes: “using the word ‘political’ in the widest possible sense. Desire to push the world in a certain direction, to alter other people’s idea of the kind of society that they should strive after. Once again, no book is genuinely free from political bias. The opinion that art should have nothing to do with politics is itself a political attitude.” Literary and cultural theory from the 1960s onward has emphasized this political dimension of writing, often compressing it into the dictum that “all writing is politi- cal,” or even more generally, “all art is political.” These words have been used in the science fiction community, too: for a recent example, consider Kameron Hurley’s thought-provoking essay “The Status Quo Is Not a Neutral Position: Fiction and Pol- itics” (Locus Magazine, October 2014). Other notable writers who have made a simi- lar point about politics in art include Vandana Singh, Catherynne M. Valente, Rachel Swirsky, Gareth L. Powell, and Samuel Delany (specifically but not exclusively in his 1990 interview in Science Fiction Studies). Books that appear to be non-political, the argument goes, probably appear so be- cause they’re written from a perspective that agrees with predominant contemporary values, whatever those might be.
