New Perspectives on Contemporary German Science Fiction demonstrates the variety and scope of German science fiction (SF) production in literature, television, and cinema. The volume argues that speculative fictions and explorations of the fantastic provide a critical lens for studying the possibilities and limitations of paradigm shifts in society. Lars Schmeink and Ingo Cornils bring together essays that study the renaissance of German SF in the twenty-first century. The volume makes clear that German SF is both global and local—the genre is in balance between internationally dominant forms and adapting them to Germany’s reality as it relates to migration, the environment, and human rights. The essays explore a range of media (literature, cinema, television) and relevant political, philosophical, and cultural discourses.

Rezensionen
"New Perspectives on Contemporary German Science Fiction marks a major shift both in the study and inclusion of what it terms the German 'transcultural fantastic.' ... The present collection contributes to this shift through its preference for a transcultural lens over the binary that expects global science fiction to enact the Other. ... Overall, the authors of New Perspectives on Contemporary German Science Fiction pose questions key to the genre's and, indeed, to our planet's future." (Sonja Fritzsche, German Studies Canada, Vol. 59 (2), 2023)
