Dreaming Dangerously: Imagining the Utopian, the Nostalgic, the Possible

Simon Fraser University, English Department Graduate Conference

Nostalgia itself has a utopian dimension, only it is no longer directed toward the future. Sometimes nostalgia is not directed towards the past either, but rather sideways. The nostalgic feels stifled within the conventional confines of time and space.
–Svetlana Boym, The Future of Nostalgia xiv

The interconnection of speculative fiction, transgressions against social norms, gender studies, and global perspectives is compelling because speculative fiction allows for a unique approach to social critiques. The worlds that are created in science fiction, fantasy, horror, and dystopian futures allow the genre to to explore new or imaginative societies, detached from existing or historical social structures. Such an environment of speculation has led many authors such as Joanna Russ, Angela Carter, Margaret Atwood and Marge Piercy to utilize the genre to comment on women's concerns.
