Kirsten Ashley Bussière replied to the topic Maps and Speculative Fiction – Research Recommendations in the discussion
Speculative and Science Fiction on Humanities Commons 7 years, 6 months agoMaps and fantasy definitely are more common! If you know any theoretical articles associated with that it would likely be helpful as well.

Humanities Commons Summer Camp on Humanities Commons 7 years, 7 months agoI found a few people to follow so far and I will continue to look for more. In one of the groups I posted a new topic but nobody has answered just yet on Humanities Commons. On Twitter though I had a fellow scholar respond to my tweet which summarized what I did for this challenge and the topic of my discussion. It turns out that we both are…[Read more]

Speculative and Science Fiction on Humanities Commons 7 years, 7 months agoI am currently working on a project that involves digitally mapping contemporary post-apocalyptic spaces from Speculative Fiction. I was wondering if anyone knows of any useful articles or books on the tradition of maps in Speculative and Science Fictions. Any recommendations welcome! Thank you!
I would also love to discuss this further if anyone…[Read more]
