Imagining Outer Space makes a captivating advance into the cultural
history of outer space and extraterrestrial life in the European
imagination. How was outer space conceived and communicated? What
promises of interplanetary expansion and cosmic colonization
propelled the project of human spaceflight to the forefront of
twentieth-century modernity? In what way has West-European
astroculture been affected by the continuous exploration of outer
space? Tracing the thriving interest in spatiality to early
attempts at exploring imaginary worlds beyond our own, the book
analyzes contact points between science and fiction from a
transdisciplinary perspective and examines sites and situations
where utopian images and futuristic technologies contributed to the
omnipresence of fantasmatic thought. Bringing together
state-of-the-art work in this emerging field of historical
research, the volume breaks new ground in the historicization of
the Space Age.
