2020
Overview
In conjoining science fiction and fantasy under the sign of 'SF&F', Rogers and Stevens employ David Sandner's notion of 'displacement' as 'the fundamental characteristic of the fantastic', persuasively noting the conceptual resemblance to Darko Suvin's notion of cognitive estrangement. Revisiting Models and Methodologies for Classical Receptions in Science Fiction', requires both knowledge of author Tony Keen's influential 2005 blog post (The T Stands for Tiberius: Models and Methodologies of Classical Reception in Science Fiction') and recollection of Captain Kirk's full name in Star Trek. The final part of the collection once again skews towards fantasy ratherthan science fiction - unexpectedly so, given the inclusion of an essay by Vincent Tomasso on a novel by Gene Wolfe, which Tomasso categorically states 'is not, even loosely speaking, science fiction'.
