Classical Traditions in Science Fiction: Call for Article Submissions, Deadline August 1, 2011

updated: 
Friday, February 4, 2011 - 12:39pm
Co-Editors: Brett M. Rogers (Gettysburg College) and Benjamin Stevens (Bard College)

A rich and relatively under-explored area in modern receptions of classical traditions is science fiction. How does science fiction imagine ancient thinking as contributing to or challenging modern discourses with special regard to those discourses' scientific aspects or interests? How does it constitute the classics in light of master narratives of modern scientific knowledge and practice? By raising these and other questions, this volume will ask how ancient Greco-Roman classics continue to speak – or are received as speaking – to a modern world separated from antiquity by such profound processes as the Enlightenment and the Industrial Revolution.
