Science Fiction and Utopian and Fantastic Literature on MLA Commons 11 years, 9 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, 9 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]

Science Fiction and Utopian and Fantastic Literature on MLA Commons 11 years, 9 months agoThere are some amazing conversations going on here. Going back to the initial question, why do so many academics fail to recognize SF as a legitimate literature, part of that stems from the rise of the novel and the idea that social realism is–to paraphrase the literary critic F. R. Levis–the only subject worth writing about. This is tied into…[Read more]
