    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. [REQUIRED COURSE TEXTS] • N.K. Jemisin, The Fifth Season (ISBN9780316229296) • Cixin Liu, The Three-Body Problem (ISBN 9780765382030) • Annalee Newitz, Autonomous (ISBN 978065392077) • Ann Leckie, Ancillary Justice (ISBN 9780316246620) [COURSE MATERIALS ENCOURAGED BUT NOT REQUIRED] • Supergiant Games, Transistor (available for iOS, PC, and Mac) • A Netflix subscription (or access to one) PDFs of all other course readings will be made available either as paper copies or through the course site.

  • LESSON 5: Boneshaker by Cherie Priest
    LESSON 5: Boneshaker by Cherie Priest On the forum, I gave you the following assignment: Read the first 5 pages of Boneshaker by Cherie Priest. List the Steampunk elements you find. Then list the ESSENTIAL Steampunk genre elements, and then the Character descriptions, then setting Your chart will look something like this: STEAMPUNK ...................... ESSENTIAL ...................CHARACTER ...........SETTING ELEMENTS ......................... ELEMENTS.....................ELEMENTS...............ELEMENTS black overcoat black overcoat 11 crooked stairs 11 crooked stairs and so on you can find Boneshaker here at Amazon The table part didn’t come out very well so here’s a better version. I added the word “ALL” to the column labels because I wanted you to understand that in those columns I’m not looking for any specific elements other than those labeled. For instance, under “CHARACTER ELEMENTS (ALL)” give all the character elements you find, not just elements pertaining to the Steampunk genre.

I couldn’t find a specific definition for exactly what that term meant at Amazon.com, but just from the term itself, you can tell it’s the list of books that, while aren’t classics yet, are becoming so for various reasons.

  • 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.

Swartz The Hugo Awards originally were called the Science Fiction Achievement Awards and first were given out at Philcon II, the World Science Fiction Con- vention of 1953, held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The second oldest--and most prestigious--awards in the field, they quickly were nicknamed the Hugos (officially since 1958), in honor of Hugo Gernsback (1884 -1967), founder of Amazing Stories, the first professional magazine devoted entirely to science fiction. No awards were given in 1954 at the World Science Fiction Con in San Francisco, but they were restored in 1955 at the Clevention (in Cleveland) and included six categories: novel, novelette, short story, magazine, artist, and fan magazine.
