“The Fantastic Dawn of Affinities: From Alterity to Affinity in Contemporary Fantasy.”
Betreuung: Prof. Dr. Rüdiger Heinze, Technische Universität Braunschweig, Deutschland; JProf.’ Dr.’ Judith Rauscher, Universität zu Köln, Deutschland.
In exploring the negotiation of alterity and identity within speculative fiction, I do not only argue for affinity as a concept of identity and aesthetics in contemporary speculative fiction, but also for an affinitive turn within the Humanities. Considering speculative fiction as an affective archive, I propose that studying affinity in speculative fiction provides valuable insights for developing new modes of living that prioritize solidarity over division as affinity becomes an ethics of being-with.
