Perhaps the most important influences on my early thinking about this topic came from Paweł Frelik and Larry McCaffery, with whom I shared a rousing desert hike in the foothills of Borrego Springs. After an evening of food, drink, and lively exchange, I had the long-overdue epiphany to channel my training in musical performance more directly into my academic pursuits. The early support, friendship, and collegiality of these two had a tremendously positive effect on the arc of my scholarship; knowing they believed in the project helped me pencil its first sketchy contours—and ultimately see it through to the end.

  • The Virtual Worlds of Japanese Cyberpunk
    arts Article New Spaces for Old Motifs? The Virtual Worlds of Japanese Cyberpunk Denis Taillandier College of International Relations, Ritsumeikan University, Kyoto 603-8577, Japan; aelfi[email protected] Received: 3 July 2018; Accepted: 2 October 2018; Published: 5 October 2018 Abstract: North-American cyberpunk’s recurrent use of high-tech Japan as “the default setting for the future,” has generated a Japonism reframed in technological terms. While the renewed representations of techno-Orientalism have received scholarly attention, little has been said about literary Japanese science fiction. This paper attempts to discuss the transnational construction of Japanese cyberpunk through Masaki Goro’s¯ Venus City (V¯ınasu Shiti, 1992) and Tobi Hirotaka’s Angels of the Forsaken Garden series (Haien no tenshi, 2002–). Elaborating on Tatsumi’s concept of synchronicity, it focuses on the intertextual dynamics that underlie the shaping of those texts to shed light on Japanese cyberpunk’s (dis)connections to techno-Orientalism as well as on the relationships between literary works, virtual worlds and reality. Keywords: Japanese science fiction; cyberpunk; techno-Orientalism; Masaki Goro;¯ Tobi Hirotaka; virtual worlds; intertextuality 1. Introduction: Cyberpunk and Techno-Orientalism While the inversion is not a very original one, looking into Japanese cyberpunk in a transnational context first calls for a brief dive into cyberpunk Japan. Anglo-American pioneers of the genre, quite evidently William Gibson, but also Pat Cadigan or Bruce Sterling, have extensively used high-tech, hyper-consumerist Japan as a motif or a setting for their works, so that Japan became in the mid 1980s the very exemplification of the future, or to borrow Gibson’s (2001, p.

  • Humanisation of the Subject in David Foster Wallace's Fiction
    ArsAeterna–Volume6/number1/2014 DOI:10.2478/aaͲ2014Ͳ0005 HumanisationoftheSubjectinDavidFosterWallace’sFiction:From Postmodernism,AvantͲPoptoNewSensicerity?(TriͲStan:ISold SisseeNartoEcko,1999) JaroslavKušnír Jaroslav Kušnír works at the University of Prešov, Prešov, Slovakia. His research focuses mainly on contemporary fiction, Australian literature and postcolonial writing. His publications include the monograph on Richard Brautigan and Donald Barthelme called Poetika americkej postmodernej prózy (2001) and several contributions to Slovak and foreign literary journals. Abstract David Foster Wallace’s fiction is often considered to be an expression of the new American fiction emerging in the late 1980s, the authors of which expressed a certain distance from the dehumanised and linguistically constructed subject of postmodern fiction, and which depicted individuals influenced by mass media, pop culture and technology in technologically advanced American society. David Foster Wallace’s short story Tri-Stan: I Sold Sissee Nar to Ecko (1999), however, was also included in the Avant-Pop Anthology (Larry McCaffery, L., eds. After Yesterday’s Crash: The Avant-Pop Anthology. London, New York: Penguin, 1995). Some other critics (Adam Kelly, for example) consider him to be an author who expresses New Sincerity in his depiction of reality, which is a tendency in fiction trying to depict human experience and emotions through the use of language and which does not emphasise the human subject and experience to be a product of the interplay of signifiers as understood by Deconstruction criticism and many postmodern authors. This paper will analyse David Foster Wallace’s use of narrative strategies that are connected with postmodern narrative techniques and, at the same time, the way they express a distance from them through a depiction of human experience as interactive communication between human subjects.

  • AVANT-POP 101. Here's a List of Works That Helped to Shape Avant-Pop Ideology and Aesthetics, Along with Books, Albums, Films, T
    Larry McCaffery AVANT-POP 101. Here's a list of works that helped to shape Avant-Pop ideology and aesthetics, along with books, albums, films, television shows, works of criticism, and other cultural artifacts by the Avant-Pop artists themselves, in roughly chronological order. PRECURSORS: The Odyssey (Homer, c. 700 B.C.). Homer's The Odyssey had it all: a memorable, larger-than-life super-hero (Ulysses); a war grand enough that its name alone (Trojan) is still used to sell condoms; descriptions of travels through exotic places; hideous bad-guys (like the Cyclops) and bad gals (Circe); an enduring love affair (Penelope); a happy ending. Commentators have long regarded The Odyssey as Western literature's first epic and masterpiece. What hasn't been noted until now, however, is that its central features—for instance, its blend of high seriousness with popular culture, a self-conscious narrator, magical realism, appropriation, plagiarism, casual blending of historical materials with purely invented ones, foregrounding of its own artifice, reflexivity, the use of montage and jump cuts—also made it the first postmodern, A-P masterpiece, as well. Choju giga (Bishop Toba, 12th century). Choju giga—or the "Animal Scrolls," as Toba's work is known—was a narrative picture scroll that portrayed, among other things, Walt Disney-style anthropomorphized animals engaged in a series of wild (and occasionally wildly erotic) antics that mocked Toba's own calling (the Buddhist clergy); in its surrealist blend of nightmare and revelry, Toba Choju giga can rightly be said to be the origins not only of cartoons but of an avant-pop aesthetics of cartoon forms that successfully serve "serious" purposes of satire, philosophical speculation and social commentary.

  • 1.1 Introducing 1960S 1960S Are Best Noted As Turbulent Years When An
    August 2013 e-ISSN: 1857-8187 p-ISSN: 1857-8179 Research paper Literature The Cheyenne at the Centre of the World: Keywords: 1960s, Plains Indians, The Revisiting 1960s and Thomas Berger’s Little Cheyenne, Thomas Berger, Little Big Man. Big Man Artur Jaupaj Canadian Institute of Technology. Tirana-Albania. Abstract 1960s are typified with “counter-culture revolution” when preconceived, cultural and artistic values were contested and uprooted to be replaced by more liberal and experimental paradigms pertaining to almost all aspects of life and society. Furthermore, the general mistrust towards preconceived and media generated images led to the rise of a new kind of Western labeled the New Western or Post-Western, which undertook to re-present the western experience anew and provide more truthful depictions of how the west was won or lost. In fact, the whole era is best remembered for its aftermath rather than for what was accomplished during those tumultous years. Likewise, Thomas Berger’s Little Big Man (1964), as a predecessor of the era, remains an exemplary novel worth revisiting. To begin with, it depicts for the first time the Plains Indians, The Cheyenne in particular, not simply as “nobel savages” but as human beeings with a well-structured and resourceful cosmology. As such, the novel sets the pace for other literary cross- cultural representations and establishes an anthopological approach of evaluating both cultures, that is, the Indian and the white. In addition, the novel highlights the power of “the circle”3 as compared to the power of “the square”, which makes the Indian culture more tolerant and compatible with present day social and cultural tensions at both individual and community level.

  • The Future of Cyberpunk Criticism: Introduction to Transpacific Cyberpunk
    arts Editorial The Future of Cyberpunk Criticism: Introduction to Transpacific Cyberpunk Takayuki Tatsumi Department of English, Keio University, Tokyo 108-8345, Japan; [email protected] Received: 19 March 2019; Accepted: 21 March 2019; Published: 25 March 2019 The genesis of cyberpunk criticism could well be dated to March 1987, when Stephen P. Brown inaugurated the first cyberpunk journal Science Fiction Eye together with his friend Daniel J. Steffan, with Paul DiFilippo, Elizabeth Hand, and myself as contributing editors. Of course, it is the impact of William Gibson’s multiple-award-winning Neuromancer in 1984, featuring the anti-hero Case’s adventures in what Gibson himself called “cyberspace,” that aroused popular interest in the new style of speculative fiction. This surge of interest led Gibson’s friend, writer Bruce Sterling, the editor of the legendary critical fanzine Cheap Truth, to serve as unofficial chairman of the brand-new movement. Thus, on 31 August 1985, the first cyberpunk panel took place at NASFiC (The North American Science Fiction Convention) in Austin, Texas, featuring writers in Sterling’s circle: John Shirley, Lewis Shiner, Pat Cadigan, Greg Bear, and Rudy Rucker. As I was studying American literature at the graduate school of Cornell University during the mid-1980s, I was fortunate enough to witness this historical moment. After the panel, Sterling said, “Our time has come!” Thus, from the spring of 1986, I decided to conduct a series of interviews with cyberpunk writers, part of which are now easily available in Patrick A. Smith’s edited Conversations with William Gibson (University Press of Mississippi 2014).

  • Boundaries in Cyberpunk Fiction: William Gibson's Neuromancer Trilogy, Bruce Sterling's Schismatrix, and Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash
    BOUNDARIES IN CYBERPUNK FICTION: WILLIAM GIBSON'S NEUROMANCER TRILOGY, BRUCE STERLING'S SCHISMATRIX, AND NEAL STEPHENSON'S SNOW CRASH by Michelle Toerien Thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts at the University of Stellenbosch Supervisor: Mr. R. Goodman March 2000 Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za Declaration: I, the undersigned, hereby declare that the work contained in this thesis is my own original work and that I have not previously in its entirety, or in any part, submitted it at any university for a degree. Signature: Date: Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za ABSTRACT Cyberpunk literature explores the effects that developments in technology will have on the lives of individuals in the future. Technology is seen as having the potential to be of benefit to society, but it is also seen as a dangerous tool that can be used to severely limit humanity's freedom. Most of the characters in the texts I examine wish to perpetuate the boundaries that contain them in a desperate search for stability. Only a few individuals manage to move beyond the boundaries created by multinational corporations that use technology, drugs or religion for their own benefit. This thesis will provide a definition of cyberpunk and explore its development from science fiction and postmodern writing. The influence of postmodern thinking on cyberpunk literature can be seen in its move from stability to fluidity, and in its insistence on the impossibility of creating fixed boundaries. Cyberpunk does not see the future of humanity as stable, and argues that it will be necessary for humanity to move beyond the boundaries that contain it.
