Inhabiting Ustopia: Science Fiction in Film, Performing Arts, and Digital Media
This volume contributes to research in both humanities and performing arts without disregarding the more recent digital artistic media by focusing on works of science fiction (Sci-Fi). The book's structure mirrors the themes approached in an effort to contextualize the Atwoodian concept of 'ustopia' by addressing a variety of topical subjects, such as transhumanism, ethical dilemmas, subjectivities in a digital world, in science fiction theater, opera, and art installations as well as film and new digital media. The book collects interpretations of transmedial performances, comparisons of films and novels, videogames, and other immersive platforms. The contributors include a range of academics and specialists from Japan, Romania, India, Spain, Ireland, and the U.S.A. Recent preoccupations with Artificial Intelligence and its advantages and threats have also meant a re-assessment of Sci-Fi creations and their relevance. The book appeals to students and researchers in the humanities, media studies, performance arts, as well as larger audiences interested in comparative and analytic discussions of Sci-Fi works anchored in real-life concerns.
