Social Science Fiction the Alternative Reality

这个博士项目要求科幻小说可以被用作工具，以创建一个新的流派和平台，通过关注社会科幻小说，而不是更熟悉的“太空歌剧”的典型科幻小说类型的女性状况的代表。“社会科幻小说”（阿西莫夫，1982）一词，利用大众媒体来鼓励技术和社会之间的相互作用的辩论，往往描绘了一个替代的反乌托邦未来。这种文学形式诞生于20世纪30年代的低俗杂志和战后时期，激发了对社会结构的道德反应。先驱斯威夫特，赫胥黎和奥威尔提出了一个共同的主题：揭示隐藏在社会深处的真理，这些真理没有受到女性视角的影响，因此，将女性在社会科幻类型中的代表性置于我的方法的最前沿。从文学女权主义科幻小说和反乌托邦未来的乐吉因和阿特伍德的灵感，提醒我们的现实，女性的条件，但放在这里的现实。电影实践将揭示和重新处理科幻类型中对女性的误解和男性视角的麻烦倾向，通过探索过去的小说作品，这些作品已经成为令人担忧的现实，以及体现最非人性化的资本主义冲动的技术方面。以纪录片形式进行的初步研究是我方法论的一个组成部分，并将为一系列反映科幻类型中女性声音的真实描述的短戏剧电影提供信息，使用社会问题的“安静的政治”-这些问题不是耸人听闻的，但塑造了我们生活的世界，并提供了社会和文化对话。这些电影将以真实的世界为背景，但也是一种“新浪潮”社会科幻类型，反映了我们社会的不公正。

This PhD project asks can science fiction be used as tool to create a new genre and platform for representation of the feminine condition, by focusing on social science fiction as opposed to the more familiar 'space opera' of the typical sci-fi genre. The term "Social science fiction" (Asimov, 1982), uses mass media to encourage debates between the interaction of technology and society, often depicting an alternative dystopian future. Born out of 1930s pulp magazines and post-war period, this form of literature excites a moral response about the structure of society. Pioneers Swift, Huxley, and Orwell intertwine a common theme: revealing truths hidden deep within society, truths that have not been subject to a female perspective thus, placing the representation of women in the social sci-fi genre at the forefront of my approach. Taking inspiration from literary feminist science fiction and dystopian futures of Le Guin and Atwood, that alert us to the realities of the feminine condition but placed here in reality. The film practice will reveal and readdress the mis-representation of the female and the troublesome tendencies of the male perspective within the sci-fi genre, by exploring past works of fiction that have become a worrying reality and aspects of technology that embody the most dehumanising capitalist urges. Primary research undertaken in documentary form is an integral part of my methodology, and will inform a series of short drama films that reflect an authentic depiction of the women's voice in the Sci- fi genre, using "quiet politics" of social issues - issues not sensationalised but which shape the world in which we live and provide a social and cultural dialogue. The films created will be set in the real world true but within a "New Wave" Social Sci-Fi genre of its own that reflects our societal iniquities.
