Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inhaltsangabe:Abstract: Since Kurt Vonnegut passed away aged 84 earlier this year (11th April 2007), his life and work received considerable media recognition. While FOX-news could not refrain from expressing rather hostile criticism in their Vonnegut obituary, admirers of Vonnegut's works reacted with angry comments to the aforementioned programme. All over the internet bloggers expressed their regrets and wrote their own obituaries commenting on Vonnegut's life as well as his books. Why does the death of an 84 year old author leaving a body of 14 novels, three collections of short stories, one compilation of fictitious interviews with dead celebrities, four works of non-fiction, five plays and one requiem lead to public reactions which differ so widely? How can the works of an author who persisted to write his last book on an old typewriter be so relevant for the technophiles of the blogosphere? These questions alone justify the continuation of an academic discourse on the works of Kurt Vonnegut which has been going on four almost forty years following the publication of Slaughterhouse-Five in 1969. Ever since that novel, critics rarely fail to mention the considerable influence of science fiction on Vonnegut's writing. Man's relationship to technology and the effects of technology on inter-human communication are central motifs in science fiction: hence, the web 2.0 generation's reaction to Vonnegut's death provides an extraordinary indication that the problems pondered upon in Vonnegut's science fiction are still relevant today. However, it has to be said that most critics' references to science fiction elements in Vonnegut's works remain limited to a surface level and evoke the impression that either the scholar is not well informed about the implications of the term 'science fiction' or fails to name his or her references. The effect of such an approach is that the works on the subject will either seem to be apologetic annexions of Vonnegut's novels by science fiction buffs and space opera fans or attempts to minimise the role of science fiction in the works of Kurt Vonnegut to mere parody. Neither impression is adequate for a thorough understanding of the role of science fiction in the works of Kurt Vonnegut. Therefore, in this paper a coordinate system discussing the implication of the term science fiction will be set up, in which Vonnegut's works can be located. In order to find a valid reference point, a fixed set of aspects will be [...]

Book Synopsis Demand My Writing by : Jeanne Cortiel
Download or read book Demand My Writing written by Jeanne Cortiel and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 1999-01-01 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this major study of the work of Joanna Russ, Jeanne Cortiel gives a clear introduction to the major feminist issues relevant to Russ’s work and assesses its development. The book will be especially valuable for students of SF and feminist SF, especially in its concern with the function of woman-based intertextuality. Although Cortiel deals principally with Russ’s novels, she also examines her short stories, and the focus on critically neglected texts is a particularly valuable feature of the study. "I recommend this book to any reader interested in Russ’s fiction, or in women’s science fiction generally."—Science Fiction Studies

Book Synopsis Science Fiction and Postmodern Fiction by : Barbara Puschmann-Nalenz
Download or read book Science Fiction and Postmodern Fiction written by Barbara Puschmann-Nalenz and published by Peter Lang Incorporated, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 1992 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the years after 1950 a new generation of authors began to expand the thematic scope of Science Fiction, while also extending its narrative conventions by introducing ideas from modern psychology and surrealism. Science Fiction shares the new themes - the quest of identity, the relativity of time and consciousness, the overlapping of illusion and reality - with works of modern and especially postmodern fiction. On the other hand, the innovative postmodern fiction of Pynchon, Borges, Vonnegut, and William Burroughs incorporates Science Fiction motifs, thereby blending the two genres. This book, in a series of juxtapositions and contrastive literary analyses, clarifies and questions existing genre borderlines and breaks new ground in the literary theory of postmodern fiction and of Science Fiction.

Download or read book The Time Machine. H. G. Wells (englische Ausgabe) written by H. G. Wells and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2019-02-27 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: H. G. Wells Jahrhundertroman "Die Zeitmaschine", ein Klassiker der Science Fiction Literatur, als Fremdsprachentext im englischen Original. Völlig erschöpft und ramponiert erscheint der Zeitreisende vor seinen Gästen und erzählt von unglaublichen Erlebnissen. Mit seiner Zeitmaschine war er 800.000 Jahre in die Zukunft gereist und den Nachkommen der Menschen begegnet. Die friedvolle Idylle der 'Eloi' erwies sich ihm jedoch bald als ein Freigehege voller Tod und Gefahren. Mit seinem Roman »Die Zeitmaschine« bereitete H.G. Wells den Weg für die moderne Science Fiction Literatur und vermachte seinen Nachfolgern heute unsterblich gewordene Ideen, Themen und Motive. Als scharfsichtiger Beobachter seiner Zeit, die von scheinbar grenzenlosem Fortschritt und Erkenntnisgewinn bestimmt war, übt er Kritik an politischen, wirtschaftlichen und sozialen Verhältnissen und betrachtet die Auswirkungen gegenwärtiger Fehlentwicklungen in der Zukunft. »Die Zeitmaschine« ist eine in Unterhaltung verpackte Parabel, ein zeitloser Klassiker der Endzeit-Literatur, der auch heute noch die Leser in den Bann zieht. ---- The Time Traveler appears exhausted and battered in front of his guests. As he talks about his experiences, hardly anyone believes him: With his time machine he had travelled 800,000 years into the future and met the descendants of human beings. The 'Eloi' seems to live without need, worry, and fear. But during his stay the Time Traveler discovered that the Eloi are only one side of the coin. With his novel "The Time Machine" H. G. Wells paved the way for modern science fiction literature. He bequeathed ideas, themes, and motifs that have become immortal to his successors. As a sharp-sighted observer of his time, which was determined by the seemingly limitless progress and gain of knowledge, he criticized political, economic and social conditions, and considered the effects of undesirable developments in the future. "The Time Machine" is a parable packaged in entertainment, a classic of end-time literature that still thrills today.
