| Description: | |||||||
The student learns how to use science fiction literature to speculate about future examples of ecology, race, gender, philosophy and economics. They gain an understanding of terms in the field such as 'cognitive estrangement,' 'novum' and 'modulation' in order to express how such speculative futures are created. This is achieved through a detailed analysis of texts via a series of contemporary thinkers in science fiction and other areas, including afro-futurism, speculative realism, automated economies, xenofeminism, ecology, and accelerationism. |
