Tagungsbericht: Worlding SF – Building, Inhabiting, and Understanding SF Universes, Graz, 6.–8. Dezember 2018

Abstract

The article discusses the Worlding SF conference that took place in Graz, Austria in December 2018. Over the course of the conference, three distinct strands of academic discussions emerged: (1) the criticism of science fiction as part of a multinational cultural production machinery and the discordant interests that this produces; (2) the growing intersectionality and diversity of representation in science fiction; and (3) the anthropocene as a central motif for science-fictional speculation that impacts more and more discourse in sf studies.
