Bould, Mark. The Anthropocene Unconscious
Review of The Anthropocene Unconscious by Mark Bould
Biopunk Film
With the contemporary proliferation of genetic engineering and the resulting ability to directly change the makeup of human life, narratives about genetic alteration have become a staple of the popular cultural imagination. While not the only science fictional approach to such developments, biopunk is one of the dominant forms such narratives have taken. Using films such as Gattaca, Code 46, Antiviral, and The Girl with All the Gifts, this chapte…
Die Einladung Traditionen zu überdenken
An interview with progressive fantastic authors Judith and Christian Vogt discussing their work on making German fantastic literature more open to non-heteronormative standpoints and how they approach their social activism outside of novel writing. Further includes a short essay on the queer linguistic strategies employed by Judith and Christian Vogt in their novels Wasteland (2019) and Ace in Space (2020) to create a future language that is trul…
Optimize Your Life! Work, Automation, and Instrumentarianism in Contemporary German Utopian Literature
The article analyzes two recent German novels, Die Optimierer by Theresa Hannig and QualityLand by Marc-Uwe Kling, regarding their depiction of societies undergoing datafication and automation processes and argues that instead of conforming to more common dystopian visions as anti-individualist, the depicted societies are highly individualized in their engagement with social media. Even though the political and economic systems in both novels fun…
Embodying Contagion
There is a trend in current humanities writing to point out its relation to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, curious on the one hand as we normally do not address the day-to-day of our contemporary moment in time quite as immediately, reasonably needing a few years to position our thinking against the fickleness of the Zeitgeist. But, on the other hand, the pandemic has had such a profound impact on all the work we have been doing that it seems imp…

James Sullivan speaks about becoming an author, how he feels as one of very few Black (or people-of-color) authors in German science fiction and how his own books reflect Black realities of living in Germany

Der optimierte Mensch Versuch einer posthumanen Taxonomie in Theresa Hannigs Romanen
The Cambridge History of Science Fiction Review
Review of The Cambridge History of Science Fiction edited by Gerry Canavan and Eric Carl Link. Publisher's note: This article was originally published as part of issue 8.1. This has been updated to note that this article is part of issue 7.2
Interview mit Theresa Hannig
The article analyzes Theresa Hannig’s novels, The Optimizers and The Imperfect, as a creative intervention into discourses of the posthuman. Hannig’s work exposes the different arguments regarding the development of sentient robots and artificial intelligences and negotiates posthuman positions of subjectivity, consciousness transfer, and the rights of personhood for artificial beings. The article presents the evolving concepts of an artificially…

Cyberpunk and Visual Culture
Within the expansive mediascape of the 1980s and 1990s, cyberpunk's aesthetics took firm root, relying heavily on visual motifs for its near-future splendor saturated in media technologies, both real and fictitious. As today's realities look increasingly like the futures forecast in science fiction, cyberpunk speaks to our contemporary moment and as a cultural formation dominates our 21st century techno-digital landscapes. The 15 essays gathered …

Ökonomische Utopien und ihre Bilder in Science-Fiction-Filmen [Economical Utopias and their Images in Science Fiction Films]
At the heart of Heike Endter's 2009 dissertation, published in 2011 as Ökonomische Utopien und ihre Bilder in Science-Fiction-Filmen, lies the assumption that art history, as a field and with its unique methodology, can provide an insight into film studies that has not yet been discovered and made accessible. Interestingly, Endter seeks to argue this unique insight as a benefit of art history, a discipline threatened by neoliberal ideals of emplo…
Biopunk Dystopias Genetic Engineering, Society and Science Fiction
Biopunk Dystopias' contends that we find ourselves at a historical nexus, defined by the rise of biology as the driving force of scientific progress, a strongly grown mainstream attention given to genetic engineering in the wake of the Human Genome Project (1990-2003), the changing sociological view of a liquid modern society, and shifting discourses on the posthuman, including a critical posthumanism that decenters the privileged subject of huma…
Scavenge, Slay, Survive”
Researching the Apocalypse
Fremde Welten
Until recently, scholars were hesitant to take the fantastic seriously. But since the 1990s, the increasing presence of the fantastic in mass media has spurred growing academic interest in the subject. This book discusses that new interest and brings together recent research in various disciplines. It provides an overview of current approaches and debates in the research of the fantastic. By taking stock of the present state of this young discipl…
Collision of Realities
Even though the fantastic (in its most inclusive definition) has been a part of our culture for as long as it exists, it has not been a prominent feature of European academic interest. With its inherent transgressive moment the fantastic allows for an ideal space of the cultural negotiation of political, social and physical boundaries, which should place it at the center of popular cultural research, not as is the case, at its periphery. But the …
