Climate catastrophe, critical theory, literature, and so much more!</h1><h1>UCR Campus INTS 1113 - All Welcome and All Encouraged to Attend!</h1><p>Steven Shaviro is Emeritus Professor of English, Wayne State University (Michigan). He has published books, including Connected, or, What It Means to Live in the Network Society (2003), Discognition (2016), and Extreme Fabulations, on science fiction, film theory, philosophy, and music videos. His latest book is FLUID FUTURES: SCIENCE FICTION AND POTENTIALITY.</p><p><br></p><p>Shaviro asks questions about human, and more generally, biological life: about its stubborn insistence and yet fragility; about the possibilities and perils of seeking to control it; about the aesthetic and social dimensions of human existence, in relation to the nonhuman; and about the ethical value of human life under conditions of extreme oppression and devastation. Shaviro pursues these questions through the medium of science fiction because this form of storytelling offers us a unique way of grappling with issues that deeply and unavoidably concern us but that are intractable to rational argumentation or to empirical verification. The future is unavoidably vague and multifarious; it stubbornly resists our efforts to know it in advance, let alone to guide it or circumscribe it. But science fiction takes up this very vagueness and indeterminacy and renders it into the form of a self-consciously fictional narrative. It gives us characters who experience, and respond to, the vagaries of unforeseeable change.</p><p><br></p><p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:'Merriweather',Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif">Limited free copies of</span></span><em><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:'Merriweather',Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif"> Fluid Futures</span></span></em><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:'Merriweather',Georgia,'Times New Roman',serif"> are gifted at the event.
