Abstract:

Several commentators in the 1950s visibly searched for a way to describe SF that was especially attentive to science. P. Schuyler Miller, book reviewer for Astounding/Analog, first used the term ‘‘hard science fiction’’ in November 1957 and used it more frequently in the 1960s. By the mid-1960s, other commentators were also using the term. Early references involved a relatively small number of writers who emphasized scientific accuracy and explanation, but in the 1970s and 1980s, the term expanded to include numerous writers not originally associated with hard SF.

Abstract:

Detective fiction, which was traditionally dominated by men as writers, protagonists and readers, was one of the first genres to be appropriated by women after the second wave of feminism. It provided the opportunity for women to focus attention on issues concerning women, reflecting the complexity and diversity of all the various facets of contemporary feminism. During the late 1970s and early 1980s, writers like Marcia Muller, Sara Paretsky and Sue Grafton took up the masculinist and misogynist American hard-boiled detective novel of the 1930s and 1940s and rewrote it for feminist ends.

Abstract:

Science fiction in colonial societies such as Australia can function as what Mary Louise Pratt calls an “art of the contact zone”—an imaginative space within which groups define themselves and negotiate their cultural differences. Australian sf falls into three periods with regard to its treatment of Aboriginal characters and traditions. In the first, from the 1890s to at least the 1960s, native characters are treated as subhuman and Aboriginal beliefs and traditions compare unfavorably with European-derived science and social organization. The second period overlaps the first, but a new persp

Abstract:

Although entropy has been identified as a theme in urban American fiction of the 1960s, it is far more significant in a strand of 1970s suburban fiction, in Joseph Heller'sSomething Happened(1974), John Updike'sRabbit Is Rich (1981), and the stories of Raymond Carver. I argue that in these texts the suburbs function as closed systems, subject to entropy, and that the suburbanite protagonists have a heightened sense of physical and metaphysical entropy, a reflection in part of the prevailing sense of irreversible economic and cultural decline and decay in that decade

Three new models of negatively connoted city space that came into being in the context of the “Thaw” are outlined. The differences between the presented models and the Soviet urbanism of the 1960s, which often presents city as a territory of poetry, trust and connection with the revolutionary past, are taken into account.

As an example of jean Baudrillard’s third order of simulacra, contemporary science fiction represents a convenient literary platform for the exploration of our current and future understanding of gender, gender variants and gender fluidity. The genre should, in theory, have the advantage of being able to avoid the limitations posed by cultural conventions and transcend them in new and original ways. In practice, however, literary works of science fiction that are not subject to the dictations of the binary understanding of gender are few and far between, as authors overwhelmingly use the binar

AbstractThis article considers the potential intersections of object-oriented ontology and science fiction studies by focusing on a particular type of science-fictional artifact, the category of ‘Big Dumb Objects.’ Big Dumb Objects is a terminology used—often quite playfully—to describe things or structures that are simultaneously massive in size and enigmatic in purpose: they stretch the imagination through both the technical aspects of their construction and the obscurity of their purpose. First used to designate the subjects of several science fiction novels written in the 1970s, Big Dumb O

A journalist, Moorhouse later became a well-known fiction writer who was part of a similarly bohemian and activist milieu centred in Sydney's Balmain. Taking Frank Moorhouse as a case study, I will argue that there is something particular about the way public intellectuals have historical

Abstract:

Realism lingered quite long in Turkish literature. From the 1900s onwards, realism and naturalism were prominent movements. If the often-despised detective novels are put aside, there was hardly any room for the extraordinary in fiction. During the socialist realism era, realism almost became the sole movement and was strong until the 1950s. Despite the appearance of the first modern literature from that time on, it kept its prominent position until the 1970s. What realism skillfully pushed outside the literature were the supernatural, the magic, the extraordinary, the mythical, and the fairy-

During the 1970s the investigator figure was to British television what the espionage adventurer had been in the 1960s – all but ubiquitous.

Abstract:

The 25 years of the post-Mao era of Chinese fiction is divided into two distinct stages: the pre-1989 period, and the post-1989 period. If this division is true about almost everything else in China, it is especially true with literature. This is because literature had been used as a lethal weapon for political struggle by Mao before and during his regime, and this tradition, though strongly challenged in the post-Mao era, still lingers, though in very different forms now and much watered down. Even the recent trends of art for art's sake, or for the sake of entertainment, or for the sake of r

Abstract:

The present paper explores and provides the thematic classification of Georgian prose fiction published in Israel in the 1970s. It focuses on the ideological, artistic value, and linguistic features of each individual work. Georgian Jewish authors, who have been using both written and spoken Georgian all their life, after changing their social milieu strive to integrate into new linguistic environment. Therefore, new elements emerged in their written language in the 1970s, which is characterized by excessive use of Hebraisms. The printed products published in Israel in the 70s were not great i

Abstract:

As Vietnam was caught in wartime narrative austerity from the 1950s to the 1970s, followed by the communist state’s intolerance of dissent, Vietnamese writers in the French and American diaspora have offered literary texts that challenge both Vietnamese discursive stricture and dominant perspectives in France and the United States. This essay studies two novel sequences from the diasporic Vietnamese literary archive: Vietnamese French author Ly Thu Ho’s trilogy and Vietnamese American writer Lan Cao’s pair of historical novels. Taking a historicist approach, the essay reveals complex nationali

Abstract:

Hebrew authors of the 1960s and 1970s used the biblical context to hint at their protagonists' religious yearnings, to invest their texts with additional levels of meaning, and to amplify the significance of their plots. In the Hebrew “postmodernist” fiction of the late 1980s and the 1990s, however, biblical allusions are less commonly found, and their functions have fundamentally changed. To examine these different functions, let us first juxtapose two novels, Avram Heffner's Allelim [Alleles], a typical example of the “postmodernist” trend, and Amos Oz's Menuha Nekhona [A Perfect Peace], a r

Brown (1906–1972); his traditions were followed by Japanese writer Hoshi Shin’ichi (1926–1997), Akagawa Jirō (b. 1948), and other authors experimenting in the new genre of social and psychological science fiction, as well as in the genre of fantasy and detective stories. In American literature, three major specific features of a short-short story were formulated: 1) a fresh idea, 2) an unexp

The writings of J.G. Ballard respond to the sciences in multiple ways; as such his (early) writing may productively be discussed as science fiction. However, the theoretical discipline to which he publicly signalled most allegiance, psychoanalysis, is one whose status in relation to science is highly contested and complex. In the 1960s Ballard signalled publicly in his non-fiction writing a belief in psychoanalysis as a science, a position in keeping with psychoanalysis’ contemporary status as the predominant psychological paradigm. Various early Ballard stories enact psychoanalytic theories,

The Ukrainian authors of the 1970s focused on the search for the purpose of human existence, which led to the beginning of the Golden Age of Ukrainian science fiction (SF). In the 1980s, a national revival began, and SF developed greater local markets and themes. The economic crisis of the 1990s nearly destroyed SF literature in Ukraine. Subsequently, the Russification of the 2000s emerged, and, in the 2010s–2020s, an era of metamodernism began, resulting in a second wave of national revival.

This war eventually led to a negotiated independence in April 1980.

This has resulted in the marginalisation of those operating in other non-fiction genres, in particular the many women documentarists who worked on educational, instructional, travel, commercial, government and industrial films from the 1930s to the 1970s.

It examines specific works of Brazilian sf published during a limited time period, dividing them into discrete generations or eras based on historical events, then analyzing them in conjunction with a variety of Brazilian cultural myths. Each period requires a specific critical approach. While Brazilian texts of the 1960s transform traditional sf icons, demonstrating an idealization of Brazilian identity and cultural myths, the dystopian and fantastic literature of the 1970s does the same in its pol

Pamela Sargent’s The Shore of Women (1986), Joan Slonczewski’s A Door into Ocean (1986), and Sheri Tepper’s The Gate to Women’s Country (1988) may be read as interlocutors in a dialogue with the feminist utopias of the 1970s. In terms of its setting and plot, Sargent’s The Shore of Women portrays a matriarchal society which dominates and exploits men as a failed utopia; and in its appeal for a reconciliation of the sexes it seems to have accommodated both homophobia and heterosexism through the narrative of a conversion to heterosexuality.

In works by Maxwell Maltz, John C. Lilly, Richard Bandler and John Grinder, and Samuel R.

The paper aims to provide an overview of the treatment of gender in feminist science fiction in general and explore, through the textual analysis of Begum Rokeya’s Sultana’s Dream (1905) in particular, the concept of women’s agency. To serve this purpose, the feminine authorial tendency of using the genre as a parameter for discerning gender discrepancies by providing a utopian setup, will be scrutinised.
