Brian Croxall deposited Annihilated Time, Smooth Surfaces, and Rough Edges in Steampunk and Schivelbusch’s _The Railway Journey_: A Departure Point in the group
Science Fiction and Utopian and Fantastic Literature on MLA Commons 10 years, 8 months agoThis paper questions how Wolfgang’s Schivelbusch’s seminal study of railway networks in 19th-century should lead us to think differently about trains and transportation within steampunk. The paper considers how both the railway and steampunk annihilate space and time; act as transportation networks; and foreground reading practices, or the lack…[Read more]

John Laudun deposited Gumbo This: The State of a Dish in the group
Folklore and Literature on MLA Commons 10 years, 8 months agoGumbo has become the metaphorical melting pot of Louisiana, often reducing complex histories to simple lists of ingredients. This essay offers a more complex history of the dish itself, as well as refuting some of the common misconceptions about the dish and Louisiana foodways found in popular media.

Alexandra Berlina started the topic A fantastic play? in the forum
Science Fiction and Utopian and Fantastic Literature on MLA Commons 11 years, 2 months agoDear all,
could you perhaps suggest a play that could be seen as fantastic in Todorov’s sense? (Yes, I know he didn’t want to include anyting but prose, but even Hamlet has its moments — the ghost is too clearly present on stage to be truly “fantastic” in the sense of ambiguous, though…)
Thank you!

Science Fiction and Utopian and Fantastic Literature on MLA Commons 11 years, 8 months agoI don’t know as much about Latin American fantastic literature as I’d like, so I’m very interested in what you had to say, Silvia. In general, it always strikes me as odd how conservative academics can be. And in a broader sense, the whole concept of “legitimate” is troublesome because of the power issues underlying who decides what is and is not,…[Read more]

Silvia G. Kurlat-Ares replied to the topic Science Fiction Readers Demographics in the forum
Science Fiction and Utopian and Fantastic Literature on MLA Commons 11 years, 8 months agoI will agree with Josh. However, for Latin America, there is an additional twist. The raise of the fantastic since the mid 1940s until it became the paramount literary “authentic” (for lack of better, quick words) literary form, displaced any other literary form from the center of the cultural field. Debates between realist and fantastic…[Read more]
