Journal Article
Retruthing Steampunk
2018
Overview
Steampunk is the subject of increasing scholarly scrutiny. Some scholars argue steampunk provides a progressive analysis of past, present, and future social conditions. But it is also nostalgic for empire, ignores the historic reality of the Victorian era, and fetishizes technology. This article analyzes five short stories by Caitlín R. Kiernan, who creates a steampunk world centered in the fictional city of Cherry Creek (Denver), Colorado, in the 1890s and early 1900s. In these stories Kiernan works against the typical way four signature steampunk themes (status of women, industrialization, technology, and colonization) are portrayed in steampunk, especially American West steampunk.
