The title of this volume attempts to convey the essence of 'cognitive estrangement' in relation to SF and utopia: that by imagining strange worlds we learn to see our own world in a new perspective. The contributors have all been influenced by Darko Suvin's belief that the double movement of estrangement and cognition reflects deep structures of human storytelling. Learning from otherness is as natural and inevitable a process as the instinct for imitation and representation that Aristotle described in his Poetics. Though written from varying perspectives, the essays in Learning from Other Worlds pay tribute to the intellectual and personal inspiration of Darko Suvin to whom the essays are dedicated. 410 0$aLiverpool science fiction texts and studies. 606 $aScience fiction$xHistory and criticism 606 $aUtopias$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aScience fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aUtopias$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a809.38762 702 $aParrinder$b Patrick$f1944- 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820741803321 996 $aLearning from other worlds$94011424 997 $aUNINA
