Tuesday 20 Sept – Colonial and PostColonial – sf imaginations, histories, peoplings
• Dreaming: pick two stories to read
• Phillips on Tiptree: read as much as possible: "Who is Tiptree, What is he?"
Whose aliens are these? What lives are implicated and how? Which intersections intersect where and when? a geopolitics of sf and more….
Thursday 22 Sept – Tiptree-ing around • Dreaming: pick two more stories to read
• Merrick, Chap 8, and look up WisCon and Tiptree Award on the web
What ironies and complexities might “tiptree-ing around” suggest? What feminist politics? Which intersectionalities? Which sf possibilities?
Why is AMC Blog pic up at top of this week? What does it and its link mean?
Notice that this weekend you should read at least half of the Tiptree biography. More is better!
You and two others, collect info to share with class:
- Who is Tiptree, What is he?
- Why put Tiptree to read together with Dreaming?
- What points is Merrick making about the Tiptree Award?
- How does knowing about Tiptree, and reading the postcolonial collection helps us here?
