Description

Contributions by Carl Abbott, Jacob Babb, Marleen S. Barr, Michael Fuchs, John Glover, Stephen Joyce, Sarah Lahm, James McAdams, Cynthia J. Miller, Fernando Gabriel Pagnoni Berns, Chris Pak, María Isabel Pérez Ramos, Stefan Rabitsch, J. Jesse Ramírez, A. Bowdoin Van Riper, Andrew Wasserman, Jeffrey Andrew Weinstock, and Robert Yeates Metropolis, Gotham City, Mega-City One, Panem's Capitol, the Sprawl, Caprica City--American (and Americanized) urban environments have always been a part of the fantastic imagination. Fantastic Cities: American Urban Spaces in Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror focuses on the American city as a fantastic geography constrained neither by media nor rigid genre boundaries. Fantastic Cities builds on a mix of theoretical and methodological tools that are drawn from criticism of the fantastic, media studies, cultural studies, American studies, and urban studies. Contributors explore cultural media across many platforms such as Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy, the Arkham Asylum video games, the 1935 movie serial The Phantom Empire, Kim Stanley Robinson's fiction, Colson Whitehead's novel Zone One, the vampire films Only Lovers Left Alive and A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night, Paolo Bacigalupi's novel The Water Knife, some of Kenny Scharf's videos, and Samuel Delany's classic Dhalgren. Together, the contributions in Fantastic Cities demonstrate that the fantastic is able to "real-ize" that which is normally confined to the abstract, metaphorical, and/or subjective. Consequently, both utopian aspirations for and dystopian anxieties about the American city become literalized in the fantastic city. Review Fantastic Cities provides a comprehensive survey of 'the city' as it is represented in fantastic fiction across centuries, continents, cultures, and genres. The authors featured in this anthology successfully draw together a range of humanistic and social science critical frameworks to make sense of the fantastic city as a powerful way to express our collective hopes and fears about science, technology, society, and futurity.--Lisa Yaszek, coeditor of Literary Afrofuturism in the Twenty-First Century About the Author Michael Fuchs is coeditor of Intermedia Games--Games Inter Media: Video Games and Intermediality; ConFiguring America: Iconic Figures, Visuality, and the American Identity; Placing America: American Culture and Its Spaces; and Landscapes of Postmodernity: Concepts and Paradigms of Critical Theory.Stefan L. Brandt is professor of American studies at the University of Graz in Austria. He is author of The Culture of Corporeality: Aesthetic Experience and the Embodiment of America, 1945-1960 and coeditor of Ecomasculinities: Negotiating Male Gender Identity in U.S. Fiction;Space Oddities: Difference and Identity in the American City; MakingNational Bodies: Cultural Identity and the Politics of the Body in (Post-)Revolutionary America; and Transnational American Studies.
