The volume argues that speculative fictions and explorations of the fantastic provide a critical lens for studying the possibilities and limitations of paradigm shifts in society. Lars Schmeink and Ingo Cornils bring together essays that study the renaissance of German SF in the twenty-first century. The volume makes clear that German SF is both global and localthe genre is in balance between internationally dominant forms and adapting them to Germanys reality as it relates to migration, the environment, and human rights. The essays explore a range of media (literature, cinema, television) and relevant political, philosophical, and cultural discourses.--$$cProvided by publisher. 001446429 5450_ $$aLars Schmeink is Research Fellow at the Europa-Universitat Flensburg, Germany.
