Description:
While this paper requires the most research, it is also the most
open-ended in subject matter: you must compose an
original argument
about how science fiction transforms history and culture,
sometimes in radical ways, and yet through those
transformations is always dialoguing with and critiquing—often
trenchantly—the world we live in and the culture(s) we inhabit
today.
Your essay must address two or more of the following topics:
science fiction and race/ism, science fiction and sex/ism,
science fiction and gender; science fiction and class. You must
draw evidence and support for your argument(s) from at least
two
of any of the assigned short stories for this class. (You may
also, if you wish, bring in stories or other media not included in
the syllabus.)
List of short stories read in class:
Guillermo Gómez-Peña, Friendly Cannibals C.L.
Moore, “Shambleau”
Nisi Shawl, “At the Huts of Ajala”

Evolved”

Comet”
