Imperial Radch Trilogy

Trilogia on lajityypiltään tieteiskirjallisuutta ja avaruusoopperaa, ja sen päähenkilö Breq, joka toimii myös kertojana ja fokalisoijana, on ihmiskehoon istutettu tekoäly. Erityisesti keskityn tutkielmassani siihen, miten teosten muodolliset ominaisuudet liittyvät yhteen päähenkilön identiteetin kehityksen kanssa. Analyysini lähtökohtana toimii Brian McHalen huomio, että spekulatiivinen fiktio voi kirjaimellistaa narratologiassa käytettyjä käsitteitä. Lisäksi hyödynnän Monika Fludernikin luomaa kokemuksellisuuden käsitettä eli ajatusta siitä, että fiktiivisen teoksen tapahtumat eivät ainoastaan tapahdu vaan myös koetaan. Kuvaan teosten fokalisaatiota ja kerrontaa pitkälti -

Chronological List of Works Discussed
Chronological List of Works Discussed This is a selected list, limited to those novels, movies, and other creative works that I have discussed more than in passing. Unfortunately, there is no ideal way to set out such a list. I have settled on chronological order, except that I have grouped items by the same author or in the same movie franchise. When in doubt, I have erred on the side of including inherently important works if they receive more than a mention in the text. The number of works listed for a particular author is not necessarily an indication of the relative space given to discussion of the author in the main text. For example, I list only two works for Samuel R. Delany, but one of them, Stars in My Pocket Like Grains of Sand, is discussed at substantial length. Although the works I have chosen for discussion have been strongly influenced by my particular focus on science fiction and moral philosophy, what follows could function as a reasonable introductory reading and viewing list for people wishing to immerse themselves in the SF genre. Early Modernity Johannes Kepler. Somnium, Sive Astronomia Lunaris (completed c. 1608– 1609, but not formally published until 1634). Jonathan Swift. Gulliver’s Travels (1726; full original title Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World. In Four Parts. By Lemuel Gulliver, First a Surgeon, and then a Captain of several Ships). © Springer International Publishing AG 2017 195 R. Blackford, Science Fiction and the Moral Imagination, Science and Fiction, DOI 10.1007/978-3-319-61685-8 196 Chronological List of Works Discussed From Shelley to Wells Mary Shelley. -
Chroniques Compilées Lectures 2000-2019
Chroniques compilées Lectures 2000-2019 J'ai compilé dans ce volume l'ensemble des chroniques de livres de fiction et de loisir que j'ai rédigé entre 2000 et 2019. En réalité, plutôt entre 2005 et 2019, puisque la période 2000-2005 est assez rudimentaire en termes de régularité, de cohérence de style et de compétence d'écriture. J'ai globalement laissé les textes en l'état dans lequel je les ai envoyé à l'époque (moyennant la correction rapide de certaines fautes de frappe). Ce qui permet de se rendre compte de l'évolution, et qui du coup me rend la lecture des plus anciennes un peu difficile. L'ordre est strictement chronologique, avec un sommaire à la fin. J'ai indiqué avec un ● les éléments qui m'ont le plus marqué et que je trouve toujours aujourd'hui essentiels, aussi dans la manière dont je me suis construit que dans ce que je recommanderais à n'importe qui. Pour certains qui me sont particulièrement chers, j'ai ajouté une illustration. Je suis très content d'avoir pu compiler cette somme, de réaliser l'ampleur du travail réalisé et de lui donner une forme valorisante. Profitez-en bien. SEb. Septembre 2019. 1 Avant 2000 ● Quelques essentiels pré-chroniques.
