| 요약 | Centered around the Octavia E. Butler papers at the Huntington Library, my dissertation traces a black, feminist genealogy of science fiction across the twentieth century, reading this generic formation in the context of key developments in the history of science and medicine in the US. I argue that the idea of the archive serves as a future-oriented and speculative process in its own right, and one through which particularly marginalized subjects can forge what Carla Peterson calls a "home place". I read the archive as a structure that at once acts as shelter and authority and a foundation for black women's speculative literature. I stress that this act of recording one's own words and life is especially urgent in light of the various narratives of extinction and pathology that have been applied to African American populations across the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.It is this interpellation of elements that lead me to read Butler as central figure within a genre that Walidah Imarisha and adrienne maree brown have defined as "visionary fiction... a term... to distinguish science fiction that has relevance towards building newer, freer worlds from the mainstream strain of science fiction, which most often reinforces dominant narratives of power". This distinction informs my project in tracing the long history of what "visionary" writing - moving beyond fiction to cover such archival forms as notecards, letters, hastily-scrawled budgets, lectures and so on - centered around black, feminist textual practices, might look like. |
