  • The Sci-Fi Optimist
    COMMENT BOOKS & ARTS literature and science. Journey to the Centre of the Earth (1864) is about scien- REX tific method and its misuses. Scientists Professor Lidenbrock and Axel enter Earth through an Icelandic crater and, after improbable adventures involving mastodons and underground oceans, are ejected through the Italian volcano Strom- boli. Lidenbrock ignores data that disturb his schema. Axel is a romantic who fails to examine observable facts. Yet the book probes scientific wonder: when Axel is lost and terrified in subterranean darkness, the reader experiences awe contemplating the complete absence of light. The French-language genre advanced significantly with the uncompromis- ing scientific approach of J.-H. Rosny Aîné — the pseudonym of the Belgian Joseph Henri Honoré Boex. In the 1910 Death of the Earth, Rosny’s vision of global environ­mental crisis is prescient. An imbalance created partly by humans turns Earth to desert. Targ, the last man, succumbs with Darwinian altruism. Real- izing that carbon-based life must perish Q&A Neal Stephenson so that the iron-based Ferromagnetics can inhabit the stricken planet, he invites them to take his blood. Rosny excised the anthropomorphic from science fiction. The sci-fi optimist The 1950s and 1960s saw an invasion Best-selling science-fiction writer Neal Stephenson’s works cover everything from cryptography of space-age Anglo-American sci-fi, to Sumerian mythology. Ahead of next year’s novel Seveneves, he talks about his influences, the quickly rejected by French critics. Its stagnation in material technologies, and Hieroglyph, the forthcoming science-fiction anthology main portal was Fiction, launched in 1953 that he kick-started to stimulate the next generation of engineers.

  • Speculative Fiction Studies
    Speculative Fiction Studies “The forceps of our mind are clumsy forceps, and crush the truth a little in taking hold of it.” - H.G. Wells Course Description: Speculative Fiction Studies explores and illuminates a genre apart from, and in some ways broader than, the traditional canon of literary fiction. The goal of this course is to explore in what sense the act of “speculation” is central to all literature, but particularly crucial to this genre, which encompasses what we recognize today as fantasy and science fiction as well as alternative histories and futures, utopias and dystopias. Students will explore the evolution of this lively, diverse genre, and consider how its themes and tropes act as allegories for the problems of the human condition. The course will focus on a variety of short- and long-form readings, with class discussion, individual and group projects, analytical writing, speculative writing, and finally research writing as the avenues of assessment. Students will also be presented with scholarship and literary theory in the field of speculative fiction, the better to understand the deep philosophical, literary, and cultural implications of this genre. INSTRUCTOR: • Tracy Townsend • A115C, on campus from 9:30-4:30 A through D days and by appointment. • 630.907.5954 • [email protected] Meeting Days, Time and Room(s) 9:00-9:55 A, C, D (A116) 1:20-2:15 A, C, D (A116) Text(s) / Materials: You will be expected to bring your current readings (critical essays, short stories, and novellas), whether in paper or .pdf form, to class, and your copies of our core texts as we read and discuss them.

I went to see, I went to see “Logan’s Run,” right. They had a movie of the future called “Logan’s Run.” Ain’t no niggers in it. I said, well white folks ain’t planning for us to be here. That’s why we gotta make movies. Then we[’ll] be in the pictures.” —Richard Pryor in “Black Hollywood” from Richard Pryor: Bicentennial Nigger (1976) Futurist fiction and fantasy (hereinafter referred to as “FFF”) encompasses a variety of subgenres: hard science fiction, speculative fiction, fantasy, sword-and-sorcerer fantasy, and cyberpunk.1 Unfortunately, even though nearly a century has expired since the advent of FFF, Richard Pryor’s observation and a call for action is still viable.
