Hope and fear, our two fundamental anticipatory emotions regarding the future, come to center stage in human consciousness and the evolution of science fiction during the Western Enlightenment and the subsequent Age of Romanticism and the Gothic. In fact, reason and science versus passion and sensation also clash and swirl around each other during this epochal period in the history of science fiction. The Western theory of future progress is both embraced and defended and attacked and ridiculed. Utopias and dystopias are written, and narrative visions of benevolent spirits and hideous monsters are created. In our imagination we begin to journey into the solar system, as well as deep into the unknown interior of the earth, and we dive into depression, obsession, and despair in the classic works of Frankenstein and The Last Man. We travel both into outer space and the inner space of the human mind. We are visited by aliens in Voltaire’s Micromegas and we visit them in Davy’s The Last Days of a Philosopher.  The past and the future fight it out, and Prometheus is both “unbound” and shackled again. Amidst the awe and the terror experienced over the future and the unknown, comedy and satire also become important elements in the ongoing evolution of science fiction. All in all, during this time we both see the light and run into the darkness.
Please join us at at 12:00pm EST and end at 1:30pm EST.
So that you can get settled the Zoom meeting will be available ten minutes before the presentation begins.
There is no cancellation fee for this event.
