Styles of Creation: Aesthetic Technique and the Creation of Fictional Worlds
ISBN: 9780820314556 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The impetus behind this collection of original essays is the tension between the aesthetic emphasis on stylistics in science fiction and fantasy writing and the critical limitations imposed by prevailing literary theory. From a variety of perspectives, the contributors show how a new, or expanded, set of methods and models can enrich critical exchange within the genre and between it and other types of fiction. The focus of the book is not entirely on critical restraints but also on the genre's robustly subversive, creative drive--its unwillingness or inability to pause for critical...

Fights of Fancy
ISBN: 9780820315331 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This collection of fifteen original essays offers new perspectives on armed conflict as a central aspect of science fiction and fantasy writing. Looking past the superficial conventions associated with ray guns and aliens, swords and sorcerers, the contributors show how writers in the genre today are not so much imagining war more fully as they are completely re-imagining it. Science fiction and fantasy writing is no longer mired in epic or chivalric models but is responding to new and more complex "real-world" motivations for armed aggression: advances in weaponry, shifts in the theaters...

Gregory Benford
ISBN: 9780252038228 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Gregory Benford is perhaps best known as the author of Benford's law of controversy: "Passion is inversely proportional to the amount of real information available." That maxim is a quotation from Timescape, Benford's Nebula and Campbell Award-winning 1980 novel, which established his work as an exemplar of "hard science fiction," dedicated to working out the consequences of modern science rather than substituting pseudoscience for fantasy. An astrophysicist by training and profession, Benford published more than twenty novels, over one hundred short stories, some fifty essays, and...

Fiction 2000
ISBN: 9780820314495 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Will novels and stories be relevant in the next millennium, when the boundaries between illusion and reality, and observer and observed, may dissipate in a whirl of images, signals and data? This essay collection divines the prospects of fiction in the information age by examining cyberpunk literature. A movement less than a decade old, cyberpunk is driven by deep concerns about society, ethics, and new technology and has been defined as the literature of the first generation of science-fiction writers actually to live in a science-fiction world. These essays were first presented at the... Will novels and stories be relevant in the next millennium, when the boundaries between illusion and reality, and observer and observed, may dissip... |

Fantastic Other: An Interface of Perspectives
ISBN: 9789042004016 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The Fantastic Other is a carefully assembled collection of essays on the increasingly significant question of alterity in modern fantasy, the ways in which the understanding and construction of the Other shapes both our art and our imagination. The collection takes a unique perspective, seeing alterity not merely as a social issue but as a biological one. Our fifteen essays cover the problems posed by the Other, which, after all, go well beyond the bounds of any single critical perspective. With this in mind, we have selected studies to show how insights from deconstruction, Marxism,...

Science Fiction, Canonization, Marginalization, and the Academy
ISBN: 9780313320644 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Science fiction occupies a peculiar place in the academic study of literature. For decades, scholars have looked at science fiction with disdain and have criticized it for being inferior to other types of literature. But despite the sentiments of these traditionalists, many works of science fiction engage recognized canonical texts, such as the Odyssey, and many traditionally canonical works contain elements of science fiction. More recently, the canon has been subject to revision, as scholars have deliberately sought to include works that reflect diversity and have participated in...
