Abstract:
Philip K. Dick takes the highly computerized but ruined Los Angeles of the United States after the post-apocalyptic war as the background and brings the cyberspace struggle between androids and humans as the novel's theme, sketching a cyberpunk society in which humans and androids fight against each other. The novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? invites people to think about cyberspace and human-androids subjectivity. Inspired by Slavoj Zizek's critical theory of cyberspace, this paper uses this science-fiction force as a text to explore how contemporary American science fiction reconst

Abstract:
Androids occupy a position of fascination within US pop culture and science fiction television, yet they rarely acknowledge their own experiences of gender. Reading Wendy the entertainment android from Syfy Channel's Dark Matter (2015–2017) as trans*, this article analyzes the material, cultural, and imagined bodies of the android through an intersectional lens of gender, sex, and race. At times, the article slips between different versions of the transgender android, wading through their cinematic representation, theoretical conceptualization, socio-cultural construction, and material reality

After a decade of working in disability studies, I still find myself surprised by the presence of disability in narratives I had never considered to be “about” disability—in animated films from Dumbo to Finding Nemo; in literary texts from Huckleberry Finn to Joan Didion's Play It As It Lays; and, most curiously, even in the world of science fiction and superheroes, a world that turns out to be populated by blind Daredevils, mutant supercrips, and posthuman cyborgs of all kinds. Indeed, I now consider it plausible that the genre of science fiction is as obsessed with disability as it is with s

This article explores how to use science fiction, particularly texts centered on android protagonists, to open up discussions of marginalization, race, and oppression in the introductory literature classroom. In response to the hateful rhetoric directed toward asylum seekers, this author developed an entire course around personhood and rights. She first examines how, in particular sci-fi works, paranoia and prejudice compel citizens to delineate between kinds of personhood. She then illuminates how students were invited to make parallels between the othering that the androids endure and histor

This paper shows that postmodern identity is closely related to the image of cyborg in science fiction. Analyzing the environment and characters in Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, written by Philip K.Dick, offers a deep understanding of characteristics of postmodern identity, which is unstable, fragmented and changeable. The bleak urban landscape where only few people live presents a post war and high tech world that shares features of postmodernism. Besides, the character John Isidore, who is a special, and many escaped androids are all considered as others that should be excluded from

Abstract:
The article deals with how the notion of xenophobia is re-iterated in contemporary science fiction. First, the author provides a brief analysis of xenophobia as a cognitive phenomenon that is, on the one hand, built into the mass culture as an archetypal attitude and, on the other hand, symbolically disguised following the two prototypic scenarios-those of alienation and of appropriation. One of the central arguments of the article is that the quintessential sci-fi “alien” is based on the reinvented image of a Jew in the Western culture, while the narrative of “androids” draws on the historica

Abstract:
AbstractThis chapter focuses on how diverse speculative fiction has intervened in discourses of the so-called refugee crisis by posing key questions regarding social justice and categorization of being human and thus who is entitled to certain rights. Some recent fiction can be positioned as examples of concurrences where the goal is to intervene in the present by talking about the future, while other older speculative fiction’s concerns with large questions of what it means to be human can be used in the present to critically think about treatment of refugees and their dehumanization. The android has in this regard been particularly useful to “think with.” The discussion is based on the author’s research on racism and irregular migrants from West Africa to Europe.

Abstract:
Since architecture has a fundamental place in many aspects of life rather than just the construction of buildings, it necessitates an interdisciplinary view to comprehend its influences and consequences fully. After the design and construction process of the buildings is completed, they lead a different life in everyday life. Therefore, the literature contains essential potential about the adventures of architecture in daily life. It witnesses the neglected life of the discipline of architecture, which is confined to certain areas. On the other hand, science fiction literature expands these boundaries to timeless areas due to its themes based on the imagination of the future. One of the masterpieces of science fiction literature, Philip K. Dick's novel “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?” is an important work that should be consulted, as it gives architects a chance to examine today's world from the perspective of the past and the future, both in terms of being far ahead of its time and in terms of space imaginations. The article aims to ask what kind of parallels the spaces in the novel have with the social life of the characters and what the dystopian relationship with technology will transform architecture into. In this context, it seems that spaces have lost their importance in line with the relationship that the characters have established with technology. In the novel, where life is made bearable only by several technological possibilities, we come across the vision of a dystopian planet in which its ties with Earth are irrevocably severed. Architecture, which cannot go beyond the collage of the past on such a planet, appears as a faint shadow in the pleasing world of technology. As a result, the architectural setup plays a vital role in increasing authenticity as well as event and character setups in science fiction literature. It is seen that the one-sided relationship with technology reduces architecture to a simple décor of a history of an emulated past. This ascribed role undoubtedly embodies implications for the present and the future. What kind of problems will be caused by looking at architecture from the perspective of the imposition of a limited present constitutes the most dominant architectural potential of the novel.

Abstract:
In February 1980, Ridley Scott signed on to direct a film based on Philip K. Dick’s novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? During development of the project the film became Blade Runner, a highly influential science fiction film set in a dystopian Los Angeles of the near future. The production was highly inventive and the narrative experimental. Scott pushed the cast and crew hard because of the limited amount of time he had to put his vision on film. The producers were constantly hounding him over what they considered excesses and lack of respect for the schedule, actually firing him and his producer Michael Deeley at one point, only to rehire them days later, although they constantly threatened to take the film over. Narration included for clarity slowed the film down and was eventually removed after the initial release. Blade Runner is a landmark film in visual effects and for its sophisticated narrative and complex characters.
