Featured on the 2021 Locus Recommended Reading List For over 50
years, Darko Suvin has set the agenda for science fiction studies
through his innovative linking of scifi to utopian studies,
formalist and leftist critical theory, and his broader engagement
with what he terms "political epistemology." Disputing the Deluge
joins a rapidly growing renewal of critical interest in Suvin's
work on scifi and utopianism by bringing together in a single
volume 24 of Suvin's most significant interventions in the field
from the 21st century, with an Introduction by editor Hugh
O'Connell and a new preface by the author. Beginning with writings
from the early 2000s that investigate the function of literary
genres and reconsider the relationship between science fiction and
fantasy, the essays collected here--each a brilliant example of
engaged thought--highlight the value of scifi for grappling with
the key events and transformations of recent years. Suvin's
interrogations show how speculative fiction has responded to 9/11,
the global war on terror, the 2008 economic collapse, and the rise
of conservative populism, along with contemporary critical utopian
analyses of the Capitalocene, the climate crisis, COVID-19, and the
decline of democracy. By bringing together Suvin's essays all in
one place, this collection allows new generations of students and
scholars to engage directly with his work and its continuing
importance and timeliness.
