- Class Notes:
- Indigenous Sci Fi and Futurisms: This course examines depictions of Indigenous futures in global Anglophone novels, short stories, speeches, graphic novels, political tracts, poetry, and films. Throughout the course we will explore how critical Indigenous methodologies, which emphasize tribal sovereignty and decolonization, are crucial to Indigenous futurist politics and aesthetics that contest the extractive and exterminatory logics of settler states. Rather than taking a regional or hemispheric approach, our investigation will be organized according to conventional sci fi genres of slipstream, alien contact, and apocalypse, but also to non-genre articulations of Indigenous futurity. By juxtaposing futurisms from different Indigenous authors, we will be able to make connections between them that highlight both their common sovereignty struggles and shared utopian visions, but also how these imagined futures grow from the specific needs and desires of Indigenous communities.
