![]() Inspired by Raymond Williams's cultural materialism, Pierre Bourdieu's sociology of culture and Franco Moretti's application of world systems theory to literary studies, Locating Science Fiction draws on the disciplinary competences of Comparative Literature, Cultural Studies, Critical Theory and Sociology to produce a powerfully persuasive mode of analysis, engagement and argument. Australian Research Council (ARC) 3/01/12. ![]() Locating Science Fiction effects a series of vital shifts in the way SF theory and criticism has conceptualised its subject, away from prescriptively abstract dialectics of cognition and estrangement and towards the empirically grounded understanding of what is actually a messy amalgam of texts, practices and artefacts. This introduction to a special issue of Thesis Eleven devoted to science fiction begins by exploring the way the genre has been handled by German and French critical theory and their Anglophone equivalents. This bold new synthesis relocates SF in relation to each of these other genres and media and also to the historical and geographic contexts of its emergence and development. ![]() ![]() ![]() Academic literary criticism has tended to locate SF primarily in relation to the older genre of utopia fan criticism primarily in relation to fantasy and SF in other media, especially film and television popular fiction studies primarily in relation to other contemporary genres such as the romance and the thriller. Locating Science Fiction is a ground breaking and potentially paradigm-shifting book, a major intervention into contemporary theoretical debates about SF. ![]()

![]() Her romantic entanglement with Secret Service agent Jim Sanders, for example, is inhibited by his apparently jealous partner, Jennifer Evans. Larew maintains a relatively simple mystery, which effectively juggles Lee’s multiple predicaments. The questions only build when there’s another disappearance, followed shortly thereafter by a murder. Lee pokes around bank accounts and makes inquiries, but her investigation turns personal when she uncovers a decades-old connection between the Chau Fong and both Sidney and her late father, Bill. Cops arrested him during the demonstrations (along with others, including Lee), but now Percy, like his dad, is missing. ![]() Henry’s son, Percy, is equally perplexing. But Lee can’t immediately link the antiques dealer to anything illicit that would involve the triads. She learns the men took Henry to a bar owned by the criminal triad group Chau Fong. ![]() ![]() She tails them but gets caught in a frenzied mob of democracy demonstrators. Unfortunately, almost as soon as Lee makes it to Wong Antiques, she spots two strangers leading Henry away. Though Lee no longer works for Sidney Worthington, she agrees to see if anything is amiss with his friend and Hong Kong contact Henry Wong, who hasn’t made contact in nearly two months. In Larew’s ( Aftermath, 2017, etc.) thriller, Lee Carruthers’ latest case takes her to Hong Kong to check on her ex–CIA boss’s contact. ![]() ![]() ![]() They suggest works by authors from foreign languages to Slovenian publishers and, of course, see to translations. Especially when it comes to the literature of smaller nations, translators are often the key link between language communities. ![]() The main reason for the very small number of Estonian translations in Slovenia is quite simple and logical: the lack of translators and literary intermediaries from Estonian. I would dare to say that this fact cannot be attributed to Slovenes’ lack of interest in literature from this Baltic nation, and the reason for its being unknown lies even less in the fact that Estonian literature would have nothing to offer us. The book will be published with the support of the Slovenian Book Agency and the Cultural Endowment of Estonia.īy Julija Potrč Šavli, Slovenian co-editor of the anthology Vaata, kõik on teised – See, everyone is someone elseĮstonian literature has thus far been relatively unknown in Slovenia. ![]() Translated by: Lijana Dejak, Matej Goršič, Ana Pepelnik, Andrej Pleterski, Julija Potrč Šavli, Sara Špelec Selected and edited by:Kätlin Kaldmaa and Julija Potrč ŠavliĪuthors: Kai Aareleid, Meelis Friedenthal, Andrei Ivanov, Hanneleele Kaldmaa, Kätlin Kaldmaa, Maarja Kangro, Andrus Kivirähk, Veronika Kivisilla, Igor Kotjuh, Hasso Krull, Kalju Kruusa, Margit Lõhmus, Triin Paja, Maarja Pärtna, Rein Raud, Kaur Riismaa, Triin Soomets, Ave Taavet, Urmas Vadi, Elo Viiding, Tõnis Vilu The Vilenica Anthologies, Slovene Writers’ Association, 2022 ![]() ![]() Perhaps, it had been the lovemaking scene she had seen in a TV show the previous night.
