From essential programmatic statements\u003cbr\u003echarting the parabolic logic of science fiction and establishing the parameters of\u003cbr\u003ea theoretically supple and rigorously historical SF criticism to confrontations with\u003cbr\u003eboth a postmodernist abdication of politics and a “neutral” sociology of literature,\u003cbr\u003ethese writings reflect the evolving thought of the preeminent contemporary theorist of\u003cbr\u003escience fiction. Underpinned by a method of heretical cognition and the steadfast\u003cbr\u003einsistence of utopian possibility, the varied essays, interviews, poems, and polemics\u003cbr\u003epresented here—encompassing four decades of sustained thought on the topic—\u003cbr\u003eoffer up the affirmation of freedom as the truest horizon of science fiction.","brand":"Peter Lang International Academic Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54223134523736,"sku":"9781800790582","price":49.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781800790582_eac90372-fc15-4127-9b5f-006faba7048d.jpg?v=1764723634","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/parables-of-freedom-and-narrative-logics","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
