Recenzii
Scholarly attention to science fantasy is long overdue. The hybrid genre can provide insights into both fantasy and science fiction as well as offering its own perspectives on gender, power, perception, and, as Douglas Adams would suggest, the meaning of life. The editors of this volume have gathered an important and engaging set of essays on key figures in the development of science fantasy literature, like Andre Norton and Michael Moorcock, and on its emergence into forms ranging from feminist utopias to superhero movies.
Occupying the contested space or 'no man's land' between the ostensibly conceptual rigor of science fiction and the supernatural extravagance of fantasy, 'science fantasy' establishes itself as a unique genre even as it calls into question the basic differentiae specificae used to define these others. Science Fantasy: Critical Explorations in Fiction and Film delivers a fascination collection of essays that range across numerous texts, authors, and media, offering a survey of the rich terrain of science fantasy over the past century.
