The contributors to this collection are political and social theorists from a range of disciplines who use science fiction as inspiration for new theories and examples of speculative politics. In dystopian governments, they find locations and forms of resistance. Representations of Political Resistance and Emancipation in Science Fiction explores a range of political and social theoretical concerns for the twenty-first century. Contributors analyze themes of post-humanism, resistance, agency, political community making, and ethics and politics during the Anthropocene.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: The Future is Unwritten: Political Agency and Radical Change in a Science Fiction” \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJudith Grant and Sean Parson\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart I: Collapse and Rebuilding\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter One: Dystopia, Apocalypse, and Other Things to Look Forward to: Reading for Radical Hope in the Fiction of Fear\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMatthew Cole\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Two: Mirror, Mirror: The Tragic Vision of Star TrekDiscovery\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLibby Barringer\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Three: Beginning Again: Jericho, Revolution, and Catastrophic Originalism\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIra Allen\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart II: Resistance and Survival\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Four: “We Survived You”: Resisting Eugenic Imaginaries through Feminist Speculative Fiction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJess Whatcott\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Five: Wakanda Forever: Black Panther in Black Political Thought\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDeborah Thompson\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Six: A Politics of Drowning: Theorizing Action in the Anthropocene through JG Ballard’s The Drowned World\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChase Hobbs-Morgan\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart III: Reconstructing Our World: Space and Place\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Seven: The Ambiguities of Critical Desire: Utopia and Heterotopia in Ursula K.
