Science Fiction Booklist Genre: Science Fiction Science fiction is a genre of fiction in which the stories often tell about the science and technology of the future. It is important to note that science fiction has a relationship with the principles of science - these stories involve partially true, partially fictitious laws or theories of science. Stories should not be completely unbelievable, because they then venture into the fantasy genre.

    Cecilia Mancuso [email protected] Office: One Bow Street #340 Office Hours: TBD and by appointment – please visit cecimancuso.youcanbook.me Contemporary Science Fiction and Critical Theory [COURSE DESCRIPTION] Science fiction (sf) has often been defined as a “literature of ideas” – everything from a vector for hard scientific knowledge to a soft-science thought experiment. But which “ideas” is sf particularly good at communicating, and why those ideas? In this course, students will familiarize themselves with a number of theoretical and literary-critical approaches to the study of literature through the lens of contemporary science fiction and its principal genres (dystopia, cyberpunk, space opera, afrofuturism, and hard sf). This course also takes a multimedia approach to sf as a genre, including novels, short stories, TV, and video games as primary texts. Students will leave the tutorial with a 20-25 page research-based junior essay which engages substantively with literary theory and a working methodology for how to approach producing extended-length scholarly papers.

The best part of the book, for me, was the epilogue that featured none of the main characters and focused on the cost of war in a harsher degree than the rest of the book. I'm not sure why there are so many proliferating the pages of fiction. Cordelia is witty, snarky, and tough, with an innate sense of right and wrong and true grace under fire. But the crimes they hope to prevent in that future are imaginary.

As such it is concerned with a historic problem ir pci tial :hearv, i.e., how to visualize a perfect human community. Since the turn of the 20th century, we have seen a decline in utopian ~i tera.ture. A variety of commentators, including Mannhein: and Mumford, noted and decried this trend. It seemed ironic to those observers that utopia~s demise would occur when humanity was closest to realizing material abundance for all. My research evaluates this irony. The primary data of my work are drawn from the genre of science fiction. The new locus for utopian thought seems natural enough. Science fiction is a speculative activity and, in its emphasis on science and technology, concerns itself with an area of human activity that has been intimately connected with the idea of progress since the European Enlightenment. A number of scholars including Mumford, Sargent, Suvin, and Williams, have asserted that contemporary utopian thought could be found in science fiction.

  • Dinosaurs and B.-E
    THE HISTORY OF SCIENCE FICTION: “Dinosaurs and B.-E. M.” Page One The Age of Enlightenment brought decisive steps toward modern science, giving birth to the Scientific Revolution. During the 19th Century, the practice of science became professionalized and institutionalized, which continues to today. So, upon this stage in the 19th Century strode the “Mother of Science Fiction,” Mary Shelley (1797- 1851), whose Frankenstein of 1818 electrified the world! The promotion of the 1931 film featured a supply of smelling salts in theatre lobbies for those who might swoon! The “Co-Father of Science Fiction” was H. G. Welles (1866-1946), whose War of the Worlds of 1898, as adapted on radio by Orson Wells on Halloween, 1938, sparked a mini-panic of alien invasion terror! His The Time Machine of 1895 and The Invisible Man of 1897 became best sellers. Hints of our future were depicted by aircraft, tanks, space and time travel, nuclear weapons, satellite television, and the World-Wide Web. Page Two The other “Co-Father of Science Fiction” was the commercially-successful French author Jules Verne (1828-1905). I remember watching, with wonder, the 1954 Disney film of Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea, of 1870. And I remember riding on the ride in Disneyland in California in the 1950’s. The 1959 film of Journey To The Center Of The Earth, starring James Mason and an unknown Pat Boone, featured an epic battle of dinosaurs, joining Arthur Conan Doyle’s The Lost World, of 1912, and the 1993 film Jurassic Park with dinosaur themes in science fiction.

  • Human Exploration and Settlement of the Solar System
    CORE 103G SPRING 2020 THE PROCESS OF CHANGE IN SCIENCE: HUMAN EXPLORATION AND SETTLEMENT OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM *** Please make sure to see me ASAP if you were not present on the first day of class *** Prof. Vahé Peroomian Email address: [email protected] Phone: (213) 740-2386 Office hours: Mondays 12:00pm – 1:30pm, Tuesdays 2:00pm – 4:00pm, Wednesdays 12:00pm – 1:30pm, and by appointment Two centuries ago, it was “common wisdom” that aLL of the pLanets of the Solar System were inhabited and were each home to flourishing civilizations. Percival Lowell’s imagined observations of Martian canaLs in the waning years of the 19th Century further fueled this belief. Since 1965, when the Mariner 4 spacecraft found Mars to be a LifeLess, barren worLd, our imagination has taken a new turn – that of terraforming Mars and making it habitable for humans. More recentLy, both science and science fiction have considered the possibility of human settlement throughout the Solar System, not just on Mars but also in the seemingly inhospitable outer Solar System. In this course, we will consider the eventual human exploration and settLement of the Solar System not just from a scientific and technological standpoint, but also by examining the interdependencies of complex systems and the human and societal aspects of this endeavor. We wiLL first famiLiarize ourseLves with the Solar System, exploring not only the planets, but also the Asteroid BeLt and many of the Larger moons of Jupiter and Saturn. Each of these destinations wiLL offer unique chalLenges to human habitabiLity, some of which may not be immediately apparent.

  • Top Left-Hand Corner
    The four novels Hyperion, The Fall of Hyperion, Endymion and The Rise of Endymion constitute the Hyperion Cantos by the American science fiction writer Dan Simmons. This galactic-empire, epic, science fiction narrative contains a plethora of literary references. The dominant part comes from the nineteenth-century Romantic poet John Keats. The inclusion of passages from his poetry and letters is pursued in my analysis. Employing Lubomír Doležel’s categorizations of intertextuality— “transposition,” “expansion,” and “displacement”—I seek to show how Keats’s writings and his persona constitute a privileged intertext in Simmons’s tetralogy and I show its function. Simmons constructs subsidiary plots, some of which are driven by Keats’s most well-known poetry. In consequence, some of the subplots can be regarded as rewrites of Keats’s works. Although quotations of poetry have a tendency to direct the reader’s attention away from the main plot, slowing down the narrative, such passages in the narratives evoke Keats’s philosophy of empathy, beauty and love, which is fundamental for his humanism. For Keats, the poet is a humanist, giving solace to mankind through his poetry. I argue that the complex intertextual relationships with regards to Keats’s poetry and biography show the way Simmons expresses humanism as a belief in man’s dignity and worth, and uses it as the basis for his epic narrative. Keywords: Dan Simmons; The Hyperion Cantos; John Keats’s poetry and letters; intertextuality; empathy; beauty; love; humanism. Gräslund 2 The American author Dan Simmons is a prolific writer who has published in different genres.

  • Mirrorshade Women: Feminism and Cyberpunk
    Mirrorshade Women: Feminism and Cyberpunk at the Turn of the Twenty-first Century Carlen Lavigne McGill University, Montréal Department of Art History and Communication Studies February 2008 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Communication Studies © Carlen Lavigne 2008 2 Abstract This study analyzes works of cyberpunk literature written between 1981 and 2005, and positions women’s cyberpunk as part of a larger cultural discussion of feminist issues. It traces the origins of the genre, reviews critical reactions, and subsequently outlines the ways in which women’s cyberpunk altered genre conventions in order to advance specifically feminist points of view. Novels are examined within their historical contexts; their content is compared to broader trends and controversies within contemporary feminism, and their themes are revealed to be visible reflections of feminist discourse at the end of the twentieth century. The study will ultimately make a case for the treatment of feminist cyberpunk as a unique vehicle for the examination of contemporary women’s issues, and for the analysis of feminist science fiction as a complex source of political ideas. Cette étude fait l’analyse d’ouvrages de littérature cyberpunk écrits entre 1981 et 2005, et situe la littérature féminine cyberpunk dans le contexte d’une discussion culturelle plus vaste des questions féministes. Elle établit les origines du genre, analyse les réactions culturelles et, par la suite, donne un aperçu des différentes manières dont la littérature féminine cyberpunk a transformé les usages du genre afin de promouvoir en particulier le point de vue féministe.
