Abstract:
This article discusses depiction of autism in science fiction based on three recent American novels written by autistic authors: Ada Hoffman’s The Outside (2019), Kaia Sønderby’s Failure to Communicate (2017), and Selene dePackh’s Troubleshooting (2018). The novels are discussed in the context of debates about diversity in science fiction, depiction of disability in the genre, and disability and autism studies, particularly in reference to concepts such as authorship, self-expression, and rationality. This is followed by an in-depth analysis of the use of utopian and dystopian impulses in science fiction and tropes such as first contact as well as the specificity of autistic perspectives, particularly in Hoffman’s The Outside. The texts propose visions of futures that include disability, specifically autism, and use the narratives of alien encounters to reflect on potential benefits of neurodivergent forms of communication and perception of the world. The article argues that the novels employ science fiction tropes to engage ideas about neurodiversity and cross-cultural communication, contributing both to inclusion of marginalized communities in science fiction and to an expansion of the genre’s repertoire of cultural representations of disability.

Abstract:
This review paper assesses academic articles published about Spanish fictional television series in scientific journals indexed in multidisciplinary databases: Web of Science (WoS), Scopus and Dialnet between 1998 and 2020. A combined quantitative and qualitative method of analysis based on the SALSA Framework was used, in order to build a systematic bibliographic review. The results showed that the most common studies were those about the representation proposed in the fictional series about certain groups or social settings. Other approaches referred to the development of television fiction genres, adaptations, as well as to audiences and how audiences had received the series. Innovative research pointed to the emerging themes of transmediality, participatory audiences, hybrid studies that explained the content from production and authorship, and feminist works. Among the gaps noted were approaches that addressed the audiovisual language and the aesthetics of television fiction as research opportunities.

Abstract:
As her family name suggests, Jane Eyre is exceptionally responsive to changes in the weather. In her eponymous “autobiography,” Jane's ability to predict future events and assume an embodied—yet occasionally omniscient—insight alerts us to the ways in which Charlotte Brontë‘s fiction leverages the rise of climate science as a basis for successful female authorship. In opposition to the prevailing belief of the Victorian medical establishment that storms prompted hysteria and exacerbated symptoms of women's biological “periodicity,” Brontë‘s first published novel draws the sensitive body and insightful mind of its female protagonist into close alliance. Far from reflecting a nervous pathology, Jane's empowered responses to the air demonstrate the ways in which meteorological concepts such as weather wisdom and lunarism prove vital to nineteenth-century fiction.

Abstract:
Abstract The paper describes the analysis of frequency distribution of semantic fields of nouns and verbs in the texts of English fiction. To such distributions, we applied Shapiro-Wilk test. The null hypothesis of normal distribution of semantic fields frequencies in the array of texts under analysis is rejected for some semantic fields. This makes it possible to consider the frequency distribution of semantic fields as a categorized mixture of normal distributions. As a factor of categorization, we chose text authorship. We divided the author’s categories with rejected hypothesis of normal distribution into subcategories with normal distribution. Paired Student’s t-test for the distributions of semantic fields in the texts of different authors revealed a measure of authorship representation in the structure of semantic fields. The analysis of the results showed that the author’s idiolect is represented in the vector space of semantic fields. Such a space can be used in the analysis of the authorship and author’s idiolect of texts.

Abstract:
For students, the practice of writing, illustrating, and publishing facilitates deep learning experiences, both within and beyond the discipline for which the writing is targeted. In this case study, students created books under the umbrella of a large, transdisciplinary research project: a science-based, illustrated activity book, a children’s fiction chapter book with illustrations, an adolescent novel, and two illustrated social studies activity books. Students completed the self-directed research, wrote the narratives, created the artwork, sought the advice of outside scholars and artists, and revised with discipline-specific mentors. Data include the books, mentor notes, and student-reported learning outcomes. Data reveal broad content and pedagogical skill knowledge acquisition, knowledge synthesis, and a deep level of self-authorship.

Abstract:
Sociology has been described as a ‘third culture’ between science and literature. The distinctions between different orientations in sociological writing have been studied primarily through their non-textual manifestations (publication genres or venues, methodologies used, scientometric indicators, etc.). Our knowledge of how the science–literature boundary relates to the rhetorical composition of sociological texts therefore remains limited. We mixed a bespoke corpus of Czech sociological articles with a corpus of Czech short fiction to straightforwardly account for the relationship between sociology and literature. Unsupervised classification based on the distribution of most frequent verbs yielded two categories of sociological articles. Each cluster exhibited significant association with non-textual variables. Articles less similar to literature were associated with higher rates of co-authorship, citation counts, and number of women as first authors. Both clusters also displayed clear semantic differences. The signal from literary works increased variance in the textual feature space and subsequent pseudo-experimental validation confirmed its indispensability for the discovery of the association between the rhetorical pattern of verbs usage and non-textual variables related to sociological articles.

Abstract:
Abstract Despite his growing popularity, the Dutch writer Auke Hulst (1975), whose oeuvre ranges from multimedia travel books to science fiction-like novels, has remained under-researched in academic scholarship. This paper provides an introduction to this author and an analysis of his work, examining Hulst’s self-presentation, his poetics, his (non-)fictional books and his place within contemporary Dutch literature. The image of the outsider, which is of vital importance for Hulst’s authorship, runs as a continuous thread throughout the discussion. The first section uses several assertions made in interviews, public talks and forewords to elaborate on Hulst’s ‘autobiographical’ poetics and to elucidate how the author often presents himself as a ‘literary’ outsider (positioning himself outside the constraints of Dutch literature) and as a ‘social’ outcast (in relation to his traumatic childhood). The second section deals with Hulst’s travel books, in which he conjures up the image of a solitary traveler, who flees from the burdens of home and society in search for freedom, authenticity, insight and connectedness. The third section discusses Hulst’s novels, which are centered on outcasts, the (inner and outer) worlds they find refuge in, and the obstacles they are confronted with. In the final section, Hulst’s outsider position in Dutch literature is critically revisited by connecting his oeuvre with twenty-first-century literary trends.

Full text
Abstract:
This project examines how a subset of contemporary American literary cross-genre authors use popular forms within their fiction to comment on, interact with, and critique the possibilities of formula fiction and modern fan communities. I argue that the historic feminization of the popular (set against the stoicism of realism), combined with the startlingly masculine histories of popular genres like science fiction and fantasy, has resulted in distinct differences in the style and aims of male and female authors utilizing hybrid forms. The writers comprising the focus of this study, Junot Díaz, Michael Chabon, Margaret Atwood, and Kelly Link, create a range of competing modes of genre mixing that clarify the lingering effects of popular genre’s marginalization by the literary elite and the academy. The chapters of this project move through these modes by examining, respectively, toxic nerd fantasies and fandoms, the impact of fan fiction and its universalizing impulse, the rise of “speculative fiction,” and the role of domestic fabulism in reimagining the limited frameworks of realism and celebrating the possibilities of mass tropes and forms. Each of these chapters interrogates the author’s impact on the developing field of the new American literary genre fiction, linking their public personas as fans and scholars of genre to the attitudes and ideologies advanced by their fiction. These projects, anti-imperialist or feminist in nature, make self-conscious arguments about the value of the popular genres with which they interact. By focusing on the links between the author’s persona, public reception, and cultural fandoms, and the impact of these elements on contemporary cross-genre fiction, I attempt to revitalize genre theory in a manner that challenges its historically hierarchal configurations, particularly for women authors and consumers of the popular.

Full text
Abstract:
Genres are constituted, implicitly and explicitly, through their construction of the past. Genres continually reconstitute themselves, as authors, producers and, most importantly, readers situate texts in relation to one another; each text implies a reader who will locate the text on a spectrum of previously developed generic characteristics. Though science fiction appears to be a genre concerned with the future, I argue that the persistent presence of lost race stories – where the contemporary world and groups of people thought to exist only in the past intersect – in science fiction demonstrates that the past is crucial in the operation of the genre. By tracing the origins and evolution of the lost race story from late nineteenth-century novels through the early twentieth-century American pulp science fiction magazines to novel-length narratives, and narrative series, at the end of the twentieth century, this thesis shows how the consistent presence, and varied uses, of lost race stories in science fiction complicates previous critical narratives of the history and definitions of science fiction.

Douglas, William N. "Futures far and near : the science fiction of Olaf Stapledon." Phd thesis, 2010. http://hdl.handle.net/1885/151075.

Full text
Abstract:
Olaf Stapledon is lauded by authors and critics of science fiction as the author of seminal works of twentieth century science fiction, including the early novels, Last and First Men (1930), Odd John (1935), and Star Maker (1937). Stapledon, however, did not consider himself to be a science fiction writer, and drafted these three novels largely in ignorance of genre science fiction. An examination of Stapledon's life reveals him to have been, in essence, a lecturer and public speaker, and a teacher in adult education, in the area of philosophy in particular. Stapledon's approach to these early novels was as a pedagogue and public intellectual. The challenge of reconciling Olaf Stapledon's production of these texts in ignorance of the bases of genre science fiction with their reception as defining pillars of that genre, can be met by illustrating the manner in which Stapledon, through his novels, engaged rigorously with contemporary systems of knowledge, and extrapolated from them potential futures. Nowhere is this more evident than in Stapledon's consistent, and consistently ambivalent, engagement with the theories and ideas of Sigmund Freud. In Last and First Men, Stapledon engages with Darwinian and Freudian accounts of human development, through his use of evolutionary projections of humanity's future as a vehicle to explore the implications of such changes on the individual and their society. In Odd John, Stapledon considers more closely potential changes in the individual psyche which might equip individuals to realise a utopian society, and contrasts these with perceived limitations in humanity's current mental apparatus. In Star Maker, Stapledon explores the nature of the human urge to worship and the significance of this urge for the individual and for society in light of the world view of secular modernity. In these novels Stapledon engages optimistically with futurity, consistently considering and drawing on contemporary systems of knowledge to explore the future implications of potential change. In so doing, Stapledon has created texts which adhere to the tenets of science fiction, and which have demonstrably engaged with issues that science fiction texts into the twenty-first century have continued to explore.

Full text
Abstract:
This dissertation offers an examination of Delany's critical trajectory from structuralism to poststructuralism and postmodernism across a gamut of genres from SF to sword-and-sorcery, pornography, autobiography and literary criticism. Delany's engagement with semiotics, Foucault and deconstruction form the theoretical focus, together with his own theories of how SF functions as a literary genre, and its standing and reception within the greater realm of literature. The impact of Delany as a gay, black SF writer is also examined against the backdrop of his varied output. I have used the term 'dislocation' to describe Delany's tackling of traditional subjects and genres, and opening them up to further possibilities through critical engagement. Lastly, Delany is also examined as a postmodern icon. A frequent participant in his own texts, as well using pseudonyms that have developed into fully-fledged characters, Delany has become a critical signifier in his own work.

Abstract:
The pressure to publish rapidly and constantly is a phenomenon engulfing academia in all countries of the globe. It has, over the years, affected research and innovation in a mostly negative way. In Nigerian universities in particular, this culture has mainly been a syndrome, manifested by (1) the urge among faculty members to publish more for promotions and positions than for genuine research production, (2) publishing for purely capitalistic motivations, (3) the use of unorthodox methodologies to boost citation index, and (4) fictive authorship of research works among others. All these objectionable practices have been responsible for various forms of decay in research and teaching in the Nigerian university system. They have, for instance, made plagiarism, data mining, predatory journals, duplicate publications, among other challenges, pervade research in Nigerian universities, causing innovation to remain more an ideal than a reality in these tertiary institutions. Using empirical understandings and critical observations, this chapter illustrates all these issues.

Abstract:
Abstract There are many branches of medieval literary theory and criticism, only one of which has received the attention it deserves, namely the ‘arts’ of composition (artes poeticae, artes praedicandi, artes dictaminis ). This anthology concentrates on another branch, the most fundamental and important of them all within the medieval educational system, and one which has a lot to say about a far wider range of literary matters than those which fall within the terms of reference of the pragmatic and prescriptive ‘arts’. For the texts translated below comprise sophisticated discussions of such topics as fiction and fable (in classical works and in the Bible); the ethical effects and purpose of literature; authorship and authority; the function of biography in interpreting a writer’s work; stylistic and didactic modes; literary form and structure; allegory and ‘literal’ or historical sense; symbolism; imagination and imagery; the semiotics of words and things; the moralization of classical texts; the status of poetry within the hierarchy of the human arts and sciences. Quite obviously, this rich array of literary discussion and analysis falls within the sphere of ‘literary theory and criticism’ as normally understood.
