LLC 20th- and 21st-Century American on MLA Commons 8 years, 6 months agoThe article traces two phases of SF about human species change, the first in the 1940s and early 1950s, the so called “golden age” of SF. In this first phase the advent of the posthuman is brought on by eugenics or sudden mutations caused by fallout from nuclear war.

Twentieth-Century American Literature on MLA Commons 8 years, 7 months agoSir,
It’s been long since you talked to me. I wish you all the best on your book-proposal. Now I am working on a topic which you may find hihgly interesting. It is whether the poems on Afganistan in An Eye For An Eye can be read as a creative response to Orientalism by Edward Said. It would be great if you talk to me as soon as possible. -

Twentieth-Century American Literature on MLA Commons 8 years, 7 months agoNow I am working on a new topic. It is on the exploration into the question as to whether some post-9/11 poems on Afganistan in An Eye For An Eye Makes the Whole World Blind, like “The Weavers”, “Burqa Women” and “Kabul 2002”, can be read as an implicit response to Orientalism by Edward Said. Please, comment on it.
