In the new millennium, science fiction has moved from the margins to the mainstream. At the same time, it has undergone massive transformations. No longer can it be derided as indigestible technobabble or escapist trash or a white man's playground--not that it ever really was. Sf is rich and diverse, serious, and fun. A vital bridge between technoscience and culture, it is an early warning system, a method for imagining differently, and a way of experiencing our increasingly science-fictional world. It is the vernacular of the 21st century. 'This Is Not A Science Fiction Textbook' brings together leading sf scholars, including some of the most exciting new critical voices, to introduce the genre for the general reader. Its first part outlines some key ideas used to think about sf, such as Estrangement, Extrapolation, and Alterity. Its second part maps some of the genre's global history, from the Enlightenment and European colonialism to Indigenous and African Futurisms. Its third part surveys sf at the turn of the 2020s, organised by concepts, movements and new academic disciplines, from Afrofuturism and Animal Studies to Queer Theory and the Weird--and each chapter, whether it is on Climate Fiction or Neurodiversity, is accompanied by an introduction to a major contemporary novel and film."--Publisher's website. 650 0 $a Science fiction. 650 0 $a Motion pictures and literature. 650 0 $a Imperialism $x Criticism and interpretation. 700 1 $a Bould, Mark, $e editor. 700 1 $a Shaviro, Steven, $e editor. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240717023736.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4C2BEB2E440211EF98CC15ED37ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
