{"product_id":"disputing-the-deluge-darko-suvin-9781501384813","title":"Disputing the Deluge: Collected 21st-Century Writings on Utopia, Narration, and Survival","description":"For over 50 years, Darko Suvin has set the agenda for science fiction studies through his innovative linking of scifi to utopian studies, formalist and leftist critical theory, and his broader engagement with what he terms \"political epistemology.\" \u003ci\u003eDisputing the Deluge\u003c\/i\u003e joins a rapidly growing renewal of critical interest in Suvin's work on scifi and utopianism by bringing together in a single volume 24 of Suvin's most significant interventions in the field from the 21st century, with an Introduction by editor Hugh O'Connell and a new preface by the author. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBeginning with writings from the early 2000s that investigate the function of literary genres and reconsider the relationship between science fiction and fantasy, the essays collected here--each a brilliant example of engaged thought--highlight the value of scifi for grappling with the key events and transformations of recent years. Suvin's interrogations show how speculative fiction has responded to 9\/11, the global war on terror, the 2008 economic collapse, and the rise of conservative populism, along with contemporary critical utopian analyses of the Capitalocene, the climate crisis, COVID-19, and the decline of democracy. By bringing together Suvin's essays all in one place, this collection allows new generations of students and scholars to engage directly with his work and its continuing importance and timeliness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Darko Suvin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501384813\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501384813\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/02\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 376\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.88d","brand":"Darko Suvin","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44064972013823,"sku":"9781501384813","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f9d1ffe6-6b23-407a-896a-e8832c703f32.jpg?v=1685398676","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/disputing-the-deluge-darko-suvin-9781501384813","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
