Do metaphors dream of literal sleep? : a science-fictional theory of representation
Chu, Seo-Young, 1978-2011
Books, Manuscripts
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.
