The encounter with difference has always been at the heart of science fiction, even if the genre has not always engaged with otherness wisely or well. Dr Mark Bould will draw on classic and contemporary sci-fi texts, films and programmes, as well as such artists as Kiluanji Kia Henda and the Black Kirby Project, whilst discussing how sci-fi explores identity and questions of race.
This lecture is in conjunction with Parasol unit’s exhibition Shezad Dawood: Towards the Possible Film, 4 April – 25 May 2014.
Booking recommended.
