  • THE SURVIVAL and MUTATION of Utoi
    PHOENIX RENEWED: THE SURVIVAL AND MUTATION OF UTOi’IAN THOUGHT IN NORTH AMERICAN SCIENCE FICTION, 1965—1982 A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF ATLANTA UNIVERSITY IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR TEE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY BY HODA MOUKHTAR ZAKI DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE ATLANTA, GEORGIA DECEMBER 1984 ABS TRACT POLITICAL SCIENCE ZAKI, H01P4 MOURHIAR B.A. , American University in Cairo, 1971 N.A., Atlanta University, Atlanta, Georgia, 1974 Phoenix Renewed: The Survival and_Mutation_of Utopian Thought in ~urth American Science Fiction, 1965—1982 Adviser: Dr. Alex Hillingham The&is d~tei Decenber, 1984 This dissertation is concerned with the status of utoni en in rwdcra timas. 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.

  • The Other in Science Fiction As a Problem for Social Theory 1
    doi: 10.17323/1728-192x-2020-4-61-81 The Other in Science Fiction as a Problem for Social Theory 1 Vladimir Bystrov Doctor of Philosophical Sciences, Professor, Saint Petersburg University Address: Universitetskaya Nabereznaya, 7/9, Saint Petersburg, Russian Federation 199034 E-mail: [email protected] Vladimir Kamnev Doctor of Philosophical Sciences, Professor, Saint Petersburg University Address: Universitetskaya Nabereznaya, 7/9, Saint Petersburg, Russian Federation 199034 E-mail: [email protected] The paper discusses science fiction literature in its relation to some aspects of the socio- anthropological problem, such as the representation of the Other. Given the diversity of sci-fi genres, a researcher always deals either with the direct representation of the Other (a crea- ture different from an existing human being), or with its indirect, mediated form when the Other, in the original sense of this term, is revealed to the reader or viewer through the optics of some Other World. The article describes two modes of representing the Other by sci-fi literature, conventionally designated as scientist and anti-anthropic. Thescientist representa- tion constructs exclusively-rational premises for the relationship with the Other. Edmund Husserl’s concept of truth, which is the same for humans, non-humans, angels, and gods, can be considered as its historical and philosophical correlate. The anti-anthropic representa- tion, which is more attractive to sci-fi authors, has its origins in the experience of the “dis- enchantment” of the world characteristic of modern man, especially in the tragic feeling of incommensurability of a finite human existence and the infinity of the cosmic abysses.
