Abstract:

The way society views artificial intelligence (AI) has been significantly influenced by litera ture, especially science fiction. Examining possible AI futures stimulates public conversation and has a big impact on attitudes. AI is frequently portrayed as a danger in dystopian fiction, posing existential, control, and malevolent issues. On the other hand, utopian views portray AI as a positive force that solves world problems, improves human capacities, and provides friendship. These stories can have an impact, but there are drawbacks as well. Fictional depic tions of AI have the potential to s

Abstract:

La forma más antigua de control social ha sido desde siempre el miedo. Como dice Enrique Gil Calvo, “el miedo es el mensaje”, al señalar que es el miedo un método de sujeción social y de control de los ciudadanos (2003). A lo largo de la historia los miedos han suscitado diversas ficciones audiovisuales estrechamente relacionadas con la prefiguración de grandes momentos de crisis. Si, como señaló Kracauer en los años cuarenta (1985), y más recientemente Francescutti (2004), la ficción supone el afloramiento de determinados miedos y tendencias de pensamiento que subyacen en las sociedades, l

Abstract:

Defining historical, biographical, and literary contexts for Smith’s writings, I analyze his oblique, elliptical style and discuss his approach to the portrayal of heroes. Smith’s consistent focus, even in such non-sf as Ria (1947), Carola (1948), and Atomsk (1949), is on isolated protagonists caught in a maelstrom of contrary impulses; Martel in “Scanners Live in Vain” is torn between body and spirit, domesticity and duty, indoctrination and independent thought. Smith’s sf also assesses the “human” cost of shifting paradigms—sudden social and scientific change—and provides a haunting critique

The article presents probably the most relevant research to date on the Slovene prison system.

Along with a “longitudinal” study of the social climate in Slovene prison institutions, it evaluates the concepts, practices, and results of so-called sociotherapy as a specific approach to treatment of offenders. “Specific” in this case means that treatment simultaneously encompasses life in prison, the offenders’ social environment, and the inclusi

In inquiring about the social acceptance of the digital fingerprint during our research, we discovered the crucial role the fictive plays in our interviewees’ experiencing and assessment of control and security technology. Social acceptance is thus a heterogeneous phenomenon, not only because it depends on the situational features of dealing with the technology, but also, notably, because facts and fiction intermingle, sometimes indistinctly, within the discourses on surveillance and security. Mistrust in the technology tends to feed on fictive imageries, while at the same time resting on an u

Abstract Veronica Roth’s Divergent is a young adult fiction and movie franchise that addresses issues of political power, social inequity, border control, politics of fear, gender, ethnicity, violence, surveillance, personal authenticity and mind control. It is possible a large part of the popularity of the series is its attention to these issues which young Western audiences are concerned about. The narrative makes heroes of protagonists who become activists for justice and struggle against oppressive social-political systems.

AbstractThis essay explores the role of story-telling in constructing Judah's border with the Philistines in the shephelah. Judah's struggle to control this frontier involved overcoming social pressures and incentives that naturally pulled Israelites and Philistines living in it toward integration and hybridization. The Samson story, the most famous biblical narrative associated with the shephelah, offers us an opportunity to reconstruct a possible role for story-telling in counteracting this pressure. Drawing on parallels with Greek myth, I argue that the Samson narrative does not merely refl

This article discusses three recent Spanish sf works in terms of their shared focus on the role of religious institutions in social control and the mediation (largely failed) of cultural/alien contact.

In discussing these stories, the article draws connections with major works of English-language religious sf by James Blish, Arthur C. Clarke, Robert A. Heinlein, and W

Although James was identified as a pioneer genteel idealistic realist in his early fiction, his mode of writing shifted in his late fiction to cope with the new environmental settings in Europe and post-civil war American conditions. This dynamic change in his writing modes renders James as an experimental writer responsive to the drastic social, economic and intellectual changes in the late nineteenth century.

Abstract:

American SF writers have always confronted a dilemma with roots in three contradictory circumstances surrounding its existence as commercial literature. SF is about change, yet most of the writers who produced it were adherents of at least the mythology of US political and economic values, and believed that these ought not to change. SF is supposed to extrapolate plausibly from known science, yet the writers wrote for magazines that initially placed no commercial value on serious extrapolation or speculation. And the modern science of the 20th century—the physics of Einstein and Heisenberg—cou

Abstract:

The article approaches the concept of structural violence by elaborating on the idea of fear as an indicator of social or individual self-destruction. It argues that learning to read fear is an important skill for individuation and, therefore, a part of resistance to oppressive practices. Based on Tolstoy’s political thought, the article draws attention to honesty, gratefulness, love, trust, creative act and responsibility as essential conditions for developing sensibility to read fear and the social structures. Likewise, the article looks at several popular series and literary pieces in each

Hate the most recent season of a television show? Create a viral petition! Better yet, find an old tweet of a cast member to publicly shame them. These are examples of audience participation and expectations when it comes to television.

Analyzing audience and critical reception of certain TV shows may reveal motivations for subsequent creative decisions by the creators. On shows like Roseanne, audience reception has influenced decisions concerning creative con

This paper discusses Khalid Hosseini‘s novel A Thousand Splendid Suns and Qaisra Shahraz‘s novel Typhoon as social commentaries on the socio-cultural oppressive structures both established and perpetuated by patriarchy, and by patriarchal interpretations of religion to subordinate and victimise women in Pakistani and Afghani societies. The paper also examines these texts as narratives of confession, unfolding crimes and injustices as committed in the name of religion and culture against weak and vulnerable members of the society. Both of these narratives, as forms of confession, voice through,

Abstract:

Authority is the confirmation of the control an individual has over norms and codes (Sennet, 1981). It stimulates the development of social capital. Gender shapes authority. Bourdieu (1994) stresses that in traditional societies men can interpret and produce norms whereas women reproduce them and consequently may experience difficulties in constructing their authority. Butler (1990) confirms that this dichotomy is still effective in post-modern contexts. In the literature on women entrepreneurs, scholars stress their lack of social capital as an impediment to growing the business and suggest t

The human condition within the context of social reality and history, and individual destiny in relation to moral and religious norms imposed at the collective level, are major themes that in Mario Vargas Llosa’s work become sources of intense narrative and interpersonal conflict. According to the Peruvian writer, an individual's happiness is perpetually constrained by the normative aspects of society, whose purpose is to prevent them from fully realizing their inner potential. This limitation leads to discontent, rebellion, and inevitable revolt aimed at overturning power structures. Literatu

Abstract The culture and mentality of a nation is formed in a process of interaction between individual and environment, and, consequently, its behaviour can be influenced by the changes of the social and physical environment. Politics is one factor in this process, as it uses power to control people’s thinking and behaviour through various instruments and techniques, and in this way, it can be regarded as a governmental extension on human actions. Using an imagological approach, the article’s purpose is to highlight that oppression, along with political discourse, shaped the mindset of the So
