Gothic Science Fiction: 1980-2010 de Sara Wasson

Gothic Science Fiction: 1980-2010

Editat de Sara Wasson, Emily Alder
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 15 noi 2011
Gothic fiction’s focus on the irrational and supernatural would seem to conflict with science fiction’s rational foundations. However, as this novel collection demonstrates, the two categories often intersect in rich and revealing ways. Analyzing a range of works—including literature, film, graphic novels, and trading card games—from the past three decades through the lens of this hybrid genre, this volume examines their engagement with the era’s dramatic changes in communication technology, medical science, and personal and global politics.

Recenzii

“It’s about time that there was a publication such as this, which explores this relationship between the two genres—and the often hybrid nature of that relationship—in a manner that is timely, relevant, and generally very interesting indeed.”

“Science fiction and gothic fiction appear at first to be incompatible, if not actual opposites, but with this collection, Wasson and Alder show that there is a strong strain of the gothic in many of the most interesting science fiction texts of the past three decades. Covering fiction, movies, graphic novels, and even card games, the contributors explore how the two approaches to the unknown inform and enrich each other….the scholarship and understanding of the field are impeccable. Summing Up: Highly recommended.”
