Narrating Utopia: Ideology, Gender, Form in Utopian Literature

Author: Chris Ferns
Publisher: Liverpool University Press
Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

The utopian alternatives that writers imagine are affected by many variables, such as the historical circumstances in which they write, their gender and class background, and psychological factors. These variables in turn give rise to a bewildering assortment of imagined social structures: utopian society may be centralized and regimented, or anarchic and diverse; it may be religious or secular; there may be free love or strict control of sexuality; the family may occupy a central position or it may be abolished altogether. Some utopias have detailed provisions for the distribution of wealth, while in others money and property do not exist. For all this diversity, however, one thing that exhibits far less variation is the story, the framing narrative that accounts for how the narrator or central character reaches the more perfect society and obtains the opportunity to witness its distinctive excellences. This book is about that story. It is about the curious hybrid of the traveller's tale and the classical dialogue that emerges in the Renaissance, but whose outlines remain clearly apparent even in some of the most recent utopian writing. The author investigates the ideological implications of that story, its relation to the nature of utopian desire, and the problems it continues to create even for writers who try to free themselves from its limitations. The gendered character of traditional utopian narrative is a particular concern of the study, which also provides a detailed examination of the ways in which modern feminist utopian writers have sought to rewrite what may be seen as a distinctively male myth.

Contents: The utopian dream of order: more and his successors -- Bellamy and wells: the dream of order in the modern world -- Dystopia: the dream as nightmare -- Libertarian alternatives: Morris, News from nowhere; Bogdanov, Red star; Huxley; Island -- A world of one's own: separatist utopias -- Dreams of freedom: Piercy, Le Guin, and the future of Utopia.

The book is part of Facts On File's Literary Movements series, and it has its uses. It also has flaws that make it less useful than it might be. It is the work of one writer, who is described in promotional material as "one of the world's leading experts on contemporary science fiction" and a writer of fiction and criticism. The prose is full of errors like muddling prophesy and prophecy.

The work is alphabetical and combines articles on authors, novels, novellas, short stories, and series. A term in capitals in one article sends the reader to another. Articles range from a few paragraphs to a page or two. A glossary, a list of Hugo and Nebula Award winners, bibliographies of science fiction works and secondary sources, and an index complete the volume. Although the emphasis seems to be on British and American authors, there are entries for a few writers outside the English-speaking world. Coverage extends from Mary Shelley's Frankenstein to the present.

Since the emphasis is on science fiction as literature, this volume does not have the broad coverage of the field found in John Clute and Peter Nicholl's Encyclopedia of Science Fiction (St. Martin's, 1993). Terms related to themes and to subgenres, such as cyber punk, hard science fiction, and military science fiction, are defined in the glossary instead of being treated as main entries. The author includes some writers not generally associated with science fiction but has some curious omissions, including Karel Capek's R.U.R., which gave us the term robot, and Mary Doria Russell's The Sparrow and Children of God. Information about authors' lives is cursory at best; someone looking for biographical information would do better with resources such as Gale's Contemporary Authors or Dictionary of Literary Biography series.
Librarians will want to keep in mind this volume's narrow focus when considering purchase. Libraries with extensive science fiction criticism sections may find it useful.

Since its emergence in the seventeenth century, science fiction has been a sustained, coherent and subversive check on the promises and pitfalls of science. In their turn, invention and discovery have forced fiction writers to confront the nature and limits of reality. Different Engines explores how this fascinating symbiosis shapes what we see, do, and dream.

From Johannes Kepler's Somnium to Arthur C. Clarke's 2001, science fiction has emerged as a mode of thinking, complementary to the scientific method. Science fiction's field of interest is the gap between the new worlds uncovered by experimentation and exploration, and the fantastic worlds of the imagination. Its proponents find drama in the tension between the familiar and the unfamiliar. Its readers, many of them scientists and politicians, find inspiration in the contrast between the ordinary and the extraordinary. Brake and Hook's Different Engines is a unique, provocative and compelling account of science fiction as the arbiter of progress.

Cyberculture, Cyborgs and Science Fiction: Consciousness and the Posthuman

Author: William, S. Haney II
Publisher: Rodopi
Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Addressing a key issue related to human nature, this book argues that the first-person experience of pure consciousness may soon be under threat from posthuman biotechnology. In exploiting the mind’s capacity for instrumental behavior, posthumanists seek to extend human experience by physically projecting the mind outward through the continuity of thought and the material world, as through telepresence and other forms of prosthetic enhancements. Posthumanism envisions a biology/machine symbiosis that will promote this extension, arguably at the expense of the natural tendency of the mind to move toward pure consciousness. As each chapter of this book contends, by forcibly overextending and thus jeopardizing the neurophysiology of consciousness, the posthuman condition could in the long term undermine human nature, defined as the effortless capacity for transcending the mind’s conceptual content. Presented here for the first time, the essential argument of this book is more than a warning; it gives a direction: far better to practice patience and develop pure consciousness and evolve into a higher human being than to fall prey to the Faustian temptations of biotechnological power. As argued throughout the book, each person must choose for him or herself between the technological extension of physical experience through mind, body and world on the one hand, and the natural powers of human consciousness on the other as a means to realize their ultimate vision.

Science Fiction Cinema: Between Fantasy and Reality
Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Part of the reason why I find science fiction attractive as a focus for study is because of its inherent uncertainties. For instance, Altman states that ‘most genre critics prefer to deal with films that are clearly and ineluctably tied to the genre in question’. This has certainly not been my approach to science fiction. For instance, I have included discussion of films that are less than clear examples of the genre and have chosen to read films like Crash (dir. David Cronenberg, 1996) and The Terminal Man (dir. Michael Hodges, 1974) as science fictions. I am not sure that it is possible to consider science fiction in the kind of vacuum that Altman suggests is prevalent among genre theorists. I am not sure that science fiction can be successfully removed from at least some discussion of other genres or from the ways in which these films have been categorised within specific historical, cultural and production contexts.

Science fiction is a literary genre based on scientific speculation. Works of science fiction use the ideas and the vocabulary of all sciences to create valid narratives that explore the future effects of science on events and human beings.

Science Fact and Science Fiction examines in one volume how science has propelled science-fiction and, to a lesser extent, how science fiction has influenced the sciences. Although coverage will discuss the science behind the fiction from the Classical Age to the present, focus is naturally on the 19th century to the present, when the Industrial Revolution and spectacular progress in science and technology triggered an influx of science-fiction works speculating on the future. As scientific developments alter expectations for the future, the literature absorbs, uses, and adapts such contextual visions. The goal of the Encyclopedia is not to present a catalog of sciences and their application in literary fiction, but rather to study the ongoing flow andcounterflow of influences, including how fictional representations of science affect how we view its practice and disciplines. Although the main focus is on literature, other forms of science fiction, including film and video games, are explored and, because science is an international matter, works from non-English speaking countries are discussed as needed.

Re-Thinking Europe: Literature and (Trans)National Identity. (Studies in Comparative Literature)

Author: Nele Bemong, Mirjam Truwant, Pieter Vermeulen
Publisher: Rodopi
Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Re-Thinking Europe sets out to investigate the place of the idea of Europe in literature and comparative literary studies. The essays in this collection turn to the past, in which Europe became synonymous with a tradition of peace and tolerance beyond national borders, and enter into a critical dialogue with the present, in which Europe has increasingly become associated with a history of oppression and violence. The different essays together demonstrate how the idea of Europe cannot be thought apart from the tension between the regional and the global, between nationalism and pluralism, and can therefore be re-thought as an opportunity for an identity beyond national or ethnic borders.Engaging contemporary discourses on hybrid, postcolonial, and transnational identity, this volume shows how literature can function as both a vital tool to forge new identities and a power subversive of such attempts at identity-formation. Like Europe, it is always marked by the tension between integration and resistance. The book will be of interest to students and scholars of modern literature, comparative literature, and European studies, as well as people concerned with cultural memory and the relation between literature and cultural identity.
