Sommario/riassunto |
|
In culture and scholarship, science-fictional worlds are perceived as unrealistic and imaginary. Seo-Young Chu challenges this perception of the genre, arguing instead that science fiction is a form of 'high-intensity realism' capable of representing non-imaginary objects that elude more traditional modes of representation. |
