Abstract:

The paper delves into an analysis of how humanity is portrayed within the expansive realm of science fiction. Recognizing the genre's unparalleled ability for world-building, the study examines science fiction as a cultural artifact that mirrors societal values, fears, and aspirations. It investigates how the genre adapts by analytically modeling shifts in human viewpoints in alignment with scientific theories and technological progress. Within the landscape of science fiction literature, the human subject takes on a complex role, serving as a vessel for cultural, ethical, and ontological expl

This article explores the philosophical inquiries surrounding the interaction between technology, robots, and humans in Isaac Asimov’s science fiction works. Asimov’s pioneering approach to robotics, particularly in his formulation of the "Three Laws of Robotics," has sparked significant philosophical discussions about ethics, autonomy, and the boundaries between humans and artificial intelligence. Isaac Asimov’s exploration of the ethics of artificial intelligence in his science fiction offers profound insights into the challenges that arise as AI becomes more integrated int

The future was not a bubble, untouched by time or trouble, but a field of battle, where ideas could be tested and philosophies given a test drive.

Science fiction, ranging from films to industrial design to world's fairs, is a cultural system no more confined to literature than love is to love letters.

This system includes many types of consumers and producers, even collaboratively self-correcting volunteer bibliographers.

This article analyzes such an aspect in the work of the American writer Isaac Asimov as modeling the society of the future. It is determined that Asimov considers the main problem before the next step in the development of society to be distrust of technology, and sometimes even a certain fear of it. It also turns out that Asimov sees science fiction as a solution to this problem, which he formulates in terms of the theory of evolution. The history of the evolution of human society proves that it must constantly change and develop, otherwise it can simply collapse. In his works, Asimov describ

Despite the substantial body of Nigerian literary works delving into themes of crime, punishment, and motivation, it is intriguing that the genre has not garnered significant critical analysis. Th

It cannot be denied that some kind of mystical experience (usually wrapped up in borderline situations of death or extreme suffering) lies at heart of his novels and short stories, and remains the object of his unflagging explorations. His fascination with the strange and elusive realms of human experiences can be traced back to his debut novel, All the Brilliance (Ca a jaskrawość).

Aquatic creatures such as pikes, salmon and whales feature prominently in the poetry, fiction and painting of the Modernist period.

Woolf’s interest in fish (among other animals) can be accounted for by the profound changes in human-animal relations that mark the period of Modernism, and which were brought about by the unyielding influence of taxonomy and Darwin’s theory of evolution, but also new developments in ethology and ecology that appeared in early 20th cent

This article proposes to examine animism through the perspective provided by a notion of immanent matter drawn on process philosophy (Spinoza, Deleuze and Guattari), and quantum physics (Bohm, Rovelli). It then deploys this perspective to illuminate how planetary computation - the impact of digital media technologies on a planetary scale - is rewiring the cognitive, affective, perceptual capacities of the human. The article puts forward the notion of hybrid animism, as a speculative and imaginative philosophical fiction ('philoso-fiction') to grasp planetary computation as a sensorial pan-affe

Abstract:

Mikhail Bulgakov’s science-fiction novella A Dog’s Heart (Собачье сердце, 1925) is a brilliantly wry account of an experiment to graft human organs onto the body of a stray mutt, with unexpected consequences. The dog turns into a despicable, unruly hominid that wreaks havoc in Professor Preobrazhensky’s already endangered bourgeois existence. Critics have seen the story mostly as a prophecy predicting the downfall of the homo sovieticus: the uncontaminated, witty voice of the dog-narrator does not spare either the aristocratic opportunists of the new regime, or the violent, unruly proletarians

Abstract:

The past 50 years have witnessed huge progress and great evolution in Corpus Linguistics. Corpus Linguistics and colligation have their solid philosophy foundations. Colligation is believed to be the co-occurrence of the node words and abstract grammatical categories; thus, it can be an abstract reflection of certain writing habits in language use. The Time Machine is a famous science fiction written by George Herbert Wells. Through the study of colligation in this science fiction, the author tends to use different writing techniques and typical collocation. The result shows that the attributi

Abstract:

AbstractOften compared to Jorge Luis Borges or even to William Faulkner for the intricate and symbolic structure of his work, the Spanish writer Antonio Muñoz Molina always tried to evaluate within his novels the complex relationship between reality and fiction. The Spanish Rider (1991), one of his most exquisite creations also deals with the significance of memory as far as his protagonist’s evolution and decisions are concerned. Above all these, the novelist analyzes the influence of history on common people’s life and underlines the necessary balance that has to be established between the h

Abstract:

The Anthropocene is an epoch marked by significant and irreversible human impact on the Earth’s geology and ecological diversities. Over the years, human beings continually alter the Earth’s ecosystems and atmosphere, and the ultimate result is turning out to be more than a climate change, a potential system collapse (Glotfelty, 1996). This article offers a comprehensive literature review of the Anthropocene, tracing its historical evolution and examining the theoretical perspectives it has inspired.

Abstract:

The so-called animal turn in literature has fostered the evolution of animal studies, a discipline aimed at interrogating the ontological, ethical, and metaphysical implications of animal depictions. Animal studies deals with representation and agency in literature, and its insights have fundamental implications for understanding the conception and progression of human-animal interactions. Considering questions raised by animal studies in the context of literary depictions of animals in science fiction, this article threads John Berger’s characterization of the present as a time of radical mar

In this article I will explore the hypothesis that hybrid narrative forms (consisting of journalism, fiction and scientific knowledge) can be more effective in the task of narrating the present of the so-called Anthropocene, marked by the climate crisis and the consequences of neoliberal politics. As a first and fundamental step, I underline the need for a critical work on the language that dominates our societies, through the analysis of Personne ne sort les fusils by Sandra Lucbert. I then briefly consider the role that scientific information and its popularization can play in the hybridizat

Abstract:

Although the genre of horror has gained an extraordinary popularity in contemporary literature, it still raises controversy among specialists. The situation in Russia is especially complicated. Until the beginning of the 20th century, Russian horror fiction used to develop concurrently with the evolution of horror genre in the U.S., but after the revolution of 1917 and until the late 1980s this tradition was interrupted in Russia. Therefore, nowadays the question “What is horror fiction?” is unclear for Russian philologists, the question “How to write horror fiction?” is unclear for Russian wr

Abstract:

Abstract Contemporary environmental crises have their origin in the anthropocentric view of humans as separable from and superior to the natural world. Anthropocentrism also marks the realist author of modern Chinese fiction. Departing from that human-centered view, Shen Congwen's work evinces a biological perspective and affirms an ecological understanding of life in which the writing self must trace its roots to and reciprocate with other organisms and all-encompassing nature. The animistic language of Shen's writing delves into the ecological and bodily foundation of beauty and arts. Shen's

The anticipation of extraterrestrial life challenges the notion of human superiority, forcing a reconsideration of humanity’s place in the cosmos. Influenced by Charles Darwin’s theories of evolution, Wells presents a conflict between organic beings, both terrestrial and extraterrestrial, highlighting the fragility of life and the ecosystems that sustain it.

Abstract:

This paper examines the dissolution of human boundaries and the emergence of posthuman subjectivities in Margaret Atwood’s speculative fiction, focusing on Oryx and Crake, The Year of the Flood, and The Handmaid’s Tale. Drawing on critical posthumanist theory, especially the works of Rosi Braidotti, Donna Haraway, and N. Katherine Hayles, the paper explores how Atwood challenges Enlightenment ideals of the human as a rational, autonomous entity. Instead, her narratives foreground a fragmented, hybrid, and ecologically embedded posthuman subject. The Crakers, bioengineered beings devoid of huma

Abstract:

This article is part of my ongoing study of a figure I call the amborg, which represents the interface between species in a variety of ways. One way in which humans and other animals interact is through the attempt to communicate, and we try most sincerely, perhaps, in the human/dog relationship. This attempt is explored in a number of science fiction stories, where scientific extrapolation and subjunctive “what if” speculation allow us to overhear how that communication might occur. The result sometimes reflects genuine grappling with questions of authority, otherness, consciousness, and embo
