It also offers a series of engagements with key moments in literary and political history from 1066 to the present in order to assess and reassess the utility of conventional modes of periodization. The book extends current discussions in the area looking at cutting-edge developments in the discipline of literary studies which will appeal to academics and researchers seeking to orient their own interventions within broader contexts.

The Routledge Companion to Gender and Science Fiction

The Routledge Companion to Gender and Science Fiction

The Routledge Companion to Gender and Science Fiction is the first large-scale reference work of its kind critically assessing the relations of gender and genre in science fiction (SF) especially—but not exclusively—as explored in speculative art by women and LGBTQ+ artists across the world. This global volume builds upon the traditions of interdisciplinary inquiry by connecting established topics in gender studies and science fiction studies with emergent ideas from researchers in different media. Taken together they challenge conventional generic boundaries; provide new ways of approaching familiar texts; recover lost artists and introduce new ones; connect the revival of old hate-based politics with the increasing visibility of imagined futures for all; and show how SF stories about new kinds of gender relations inspire new models of artistic technoscientific and political practice. Their chapters are grouped into five conversations—about the history of gender and genre theoretical frameworks subjectivities medias and transmedialities and transtemporalities—that are central to discussions of gender and SF in the current moment. A range of both emerging and established names in media literature and cultural studies engage with a huge diversity of topics including eco-criticism animal studies cyborg and posthumanist theory masculinity critical race studies Indigenous futurisms Black girlhood and gaming. This is an essential resource for students and scholars studying gender sexuality and/or science fiction.
