Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
Is it science or science fiction to be able to distinguish between all the Tolstoys in Russian literature? Why are the boundaries between the definitions of Russian fiction and science fiction so blurred? How does the term “fantastika”, proposed by John Clute in 2007, correlate with Russian science fiction? What did Orwell admit and what did Huxley categorically deny, and how does it relate to Russian literature? We will seek answers to all these questions and many more over the course of the seminar.
