Das Science Fiction Jahr 2024
Ob ernsthafte Bedrohung oder Chance für die Menschheit – künstliche Intelligenz ist ein immer wiederkehrendes Thema in der Science Fiction, von Klassikern wie E. M. Forsters Die Maschine steht still, Asimovs Roboter-Romane über die NEUROMANCER-Reihe von William Gibson bis hin zu zeitgenössischen Werken wie Pantopia von Theresa Hannig oder Martha Wells' MURDERBOT-Reihe. Inzwischen ist KI jedoch nicht allein Thema in Romanen – KI ist jetzt: ChatGPT, Dall-E, DeepL und Midjourney etc. sind in aller Munde, Meta trainiert mit User:innen-Daten die hauseigene KI und all das beeinflusst unsere Arbeits- und Informationswelt, insbesondere die der Kunstschaffenden. Es ist nur folgerichtig, dem T...
Das Science Fiction Jahr 2023
Science Fiction und wie sie die Welten verändert Welches literarische Genre lädt Schreibende wie die Science Fiction dazu ein, sich eine andere als unsere Realität auszumalen, Was-wäre-wenn-Fragen zu stellen, neue Gesellschaftsformen zu denken und Konflikte ohne Gewalt zu lösen? Diverse aktuelle gesellschaftliche und politische Anlässe haben dazu geführt, dass wir genau diesen Themen unsere diesjährigen Schwerpunkte widmen: Alternate History und Pazifismus in der SF, die von Autor*innen wie Judith Vogt, Guido Sprenger oder Maurice Schuhmann beleuchtet werden. Zudem finden Gedanken und Erinnerungen an den wohl prägendsten deutschsprachigen SF-Autor, Herbert W. Franke, der im Juni 202...
Das Science Fiction Jahr 2021
Science Fiction und Klima: Visionen, Chancen und Dystopien Das Klima und sein Wandel beschäftigen uns in der Politik, im Alltag, aber auch in der Fiktion. Gerade die Science Fiction hat die Möglichkeit, sich dem Thema auf innovative Art anzunähern und Zukunftsvisionen zu entwickeln. Daher ist es nur naheliegend, "Das Science Fiction Jahr 2021" dem Thema "Klima in der Science Fiction" zu widmen und Autor*innen wie Bettina Wurche, Gary Westfahl oder Wenzel Mehnert zu Wort kommen zu lassen. Weiterhin wird in Essays von Bernd Flessner, Karlheinz Steinmüller, Peter Kempin und Wolfgang Neuhaus der Visionär, Philosoph und Autor Stanisław Lem gewürdigt, der in diesem Jahr seinen 100. Geburtst...

The Monster
‘Makes Game of Thrones look like Jackanory’ Independent on The Traitor The traitor Baru Cormorant is now the cryptarch Agonist – a secret lord of the corrupt empire she’s vowed to destroy. But to gain the power to shatter this Empire of Masks, she’s had to betray everyone she loved. She’s now hunted by a mutinous admiral and haunted by the wound which has split her mind in two. But Baru is still leading her dearest foes on an expedition, to gain the secret of immortality. It’s her best and perhaps only chance to trigger a war – one that would consume the Masquerade. But Baru’s heart is broken, and she fears she can no longer tell justice from revenge . . . or her own desires from the will of the man who remade her. The Monster is a breathtaking epic fantasy (published as The Monster Baru Cormorant in the US). It’s the sequel to The Traitor, Seth Dickinson’s powerful, critically acclaimed debut novel. 'A fascinating tale of political intrigue and national unrest' – Washington Post on The Traitor 'Dickinson’s originality and ambition are to be applauded' – Guardian on The Traitor

Beyond Unwanted Sound
Noise is so often a 'stench in the ear' – an unpleasant disturbance or an unwelcome distraction. But there is much more to noise than what greets the ear as unwanted sound. Beyond Unwanted Sound is about noise and how we talk about it. Weaving together affect theory with cybernetics, media histories, acoustic ecology, geo-politics, sonic art practices and a range of noises, Marie Thompson critiques both the conservative politics of silence and transgressive poetics of noise music, each of which position noise as a negative phenomenon. Beyond Unwanted Sound instead aims to account for a broader spectrum of noise, ranging from the exceptional to the banal; the overwhelming to the inaudible; and the destructive to the generative. What connects these various and variable manifestations of noise is not negativity but affectivity. Building on the Spinozist assertion that to exist is to be affected, Beyond Unwanted Sound asserts that to exist is to be affected by noise.
