Guess who’s back? Back to podcast....it’s Matt! Matt is back from newborn lalaland and ready to talk with us about the journey so far. He reveals the name of his newborn and sheds a few tears. He brought along a couple tunes and some kind of journal that gets Phil talking about poop.
Social Science Fiction & Twin Peaks (25:27)
The sub-genre of social science fiction can be considered alive and well since at least the 1700’s. We sketch out the speculative genre, pointing to a few classic examples before asking if Twin Peaks could be considered social science fiction. Would it change how we understand (or not understand) what’s going on in the 90’s classic TV show? Time, space, liminal places, gender, murder & ghosts. This episode will be sure to raise the hairs on your arms and a few eyebrows too. For an academic introduction to the study of genre, check out Neil Gerlach & Sheryl N. Hamilton's Introduction: A History of Social Science Fiction in Science Fiction Studies, 2003, Vol.30(2).
