Drawing on Nadsat’s deconstructive moves, this paper uncovers a hitherto overlooked meaning of “clockwork,” one that foregrounds how our temporal condition constrains our ability to choose freely. Courtesy of the argot, the mortality that conditions choice emerges as a form of programming. As a result, free will acquires a “clockwork” dimension. The temporal meaning of “clockwork” not only does a great deal of justice to deconstruction’s grounding in cybernetics but, more importantly, offers new insights into the dystopian novella’s problematizing of free will.\u0000","PeriodicalId":42992,"journal":{"name":"EXTRAPOLATION","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2024-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141677916","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bradbury’s fiction complicates various ideals associated with and invested in the postwar American home, and paired stories often suggest different responses to specific domestic themes. The essay concludes by arguing that several Bradbury stories offer possible alternatives to the problematic ideal of the “detached,” “nuclear” family home. The argument thus also usefully recontextualizes a number of Bradbury’s best-known stories.","PeriodicalId":42992,"journal":{"name":"EXTRAPOLATION","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2024-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141678660","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The short story theorizes speculation as a collective endeavor fueled by a dialectic of hope and disappointment, an endeavor that encompasses both literary and academic work. Drawing on postcolonial studies’ questioning of temporality and history, I investigate how “Somadeva: A Sky River Sutra” interrogates the assumptions underlying the subject/object relation. Then I bring Wai Chee Dimock’s concept of “statistical kinship” into dialogue with Singh’s work, exploring how the short story’s reconfiguration of death and failure gestures toward a potent yet controversial ethos of non-hegemonic universality.","PeriodicalId":42992,"journal":{"name":"EXTRAPOLATION","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2024-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141680039","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such a reading, however, accommodates neither the frequent emphasis on the novelty or sublimity of such objects, nor their tendency to collapse into nostalgia and ultimately capitalist reification. Far more often than not, the break between pre-apocalyptic past and post-apocalyptic narrative present is less a profound rupture opening up the possibility of a reimagined Utopian future based on reconfigured social relations, and more an inconvenient and lamentable fissure that will eventually be bridged. Attending to a variety of primary texts such as Emily St. John Mandel’s\u0000 Station Eleven\u0000 (2014), David Macauley’s\u0000 Motel of the Mysteries\u0000 (1978), and Ruben Fleischer’s film,\u0000 Zombieland: Double Tap\u0000 (2019), this essay considers the ways in which salvaged items in post-apocalyptic narratives end up reaffirming the present status quo, once again proving the oft-cited maxim that it is easier to imagine the end of the world than an end to capitalism.\u0000","PeriodicalId":42992,"journal":{"name":"EXTRAPOLATION","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2024-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140706629","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Building on the examination of nonhuman animal gestural communication in Brian Massumi’s\u0000 What Animals Teach Us about Politics\u0000 (2014), this paper analyses how two works, Ursula K. Le Guin’s “‘The Author of the Acacia Seeds’ and Other Extracts from the Journal of the Association of Therolinguistics” (1974) and Laura Jean McKay’s\u0000 The Animals in That Country\u0000 (2020) depict animal behavior in itself as being creative and language-like. Neither story offers a straightforward translation from nonhuman to human, each showing how human linguistic frameworks leave gaps for the untranslatable complexities in nonhuman animal gestures. This I suggest shows that further exploration of nonhuman animal communication in science fiction can allow us to move beyond ideas of human exceptionalism and logocentrism and can turn the hierarchical scale of communication into more of a spectrum with various communication types.\u0000","PeriodicalId":42992,"journal":{"name":"EXTRAPOLATION","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2024-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140705224","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Beyond the Myth of Chinese Ideograms","authors":"Yuheng Ko","doi":"10.3828/extr.2024.6","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3828/extr.2024.6","url":null,"abstract":"\u0000 Published in\u0000 The New Yorker\u0000 in May 2016, Ted Chiang’s short piece “Bad Character” has raised fervent debates on the linguistic properties of the Chinese writing system, as well as on the peculiar, if not perplexing, nature of the language itself. The mixed responses among scholars, from both the East and the West, towards Ted Chiang’s position against Chinese characters reflect the underlying entanglement of disparate discourses, including the universal language, orientalization/self-orientalization, language reform, Asian-American struggles, Chinese exceptionalism, and most importantly, the entrenched myth of Chinese ideograms. By situating Ted Chiang’s short story “Story of Your Life” (1998) in the midst of the debate, this paper explores not only how Chiang broaches Chinese’s linguistic otherness through the science-fictional trope of alien communication, but also how the author dismantles the discursive baggage of Chinese ideograms by shifting toward technical description of linguistic details. Reading “Story” in joint with Liu Cixin’s seminal\u0000 Three Body\u0000 trilogy (2008–10) and a more recent work “Curse” (2015) by Chen Zijun, this paper further contends that a new trend can be discerned that seeks to depart from previous exploitations of Chinese’s otherness through orientalizing gestures and essentialist representations. Unlike their predecessors who either valorize or degrade the non-phonetic alien language allusive to allegedly ideographic Chinese, these authors refrain from setting up a hierarchy between human languages and their alien counterparts, channeling the utopian impulse of sf into treating language as a technical object that is perfectible through constant refinement of its linguistic configurations. The end product of these discursive efforts is a notion of linguistic utopianism, which not only harkens back to the generic affinity of sf to utopia as well as to the long-lived, ubiquitous quest for a perfect language, but also envisions a new ethics of alien communication through explicating the distinct technicality of each language for a non-hierarchical paradigm.\u0000","PeriodicalId":42992,"journal":{"name":"EXTRAPOLATION","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2024-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140706175","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
