| Zusammenfassung: | "This book investigates how African authors and artists have explored themes of the future and technology within their works. Afrofuturism was coined in the 1990s as a means of exploring the intersection of African diaspora culture with technology, science and science fiction. However, this book argues that literature and other arts within Africa has always reflected on themes of futurism, across diverse forms of speculative writing (including science fiction), images, spirituality, myth, magical realism, the supernatural, performance and other forms of oral resources. This book reflects on themes of African futurism across a range of literary and artistic works, also investigating how problems such as racism, sexism, social injustice and postcolonialism are reflected in these narratives. Chapters cover authors, artists, movements, and performers such Wole Soyinka, Ben Okri, Ngugi wa Thiong'o, Elechi Amadi, Mazisi Kunene, Nnedi Okorafor, Lauren Beukes, Leslie Nneka Arimah, and the New African Movement. The book also includes a range of original interviews with prominent authors and artists, including Tanure Ojaide, Lauren Beukes, Patricia Jabbeh Wesley, Benjamin Kwakye, Ntongela Masilela and Bruce Onobrakpeya. Interdisciplinary in its approach, this book will be an important resource for researchers across the fields of African literature, philosophy, culture and politics"-- |

Afrofuturism was coined in the 1990s as a means of exploring the intersection of African diaspora culture with technology, science and science fiction. However, this book argues that literature and other arts within Africa has always reflected on themes of futurism, across diverse forms of speculative writing (including science fiction), images, spirituality, myth, magical realism, the supernatural, performance and other forms of oral resources. This book reflects on themes of African futurism across a range of literary and artistic works, also investigating how problems such as racism, sexism, social injustice and postcolonialism are reflected in these narratives. Chapters cover authors, artists, movements, and performers such Wole Soyinka, Ben Okri, Ngugi wa Thiong'o, Elechi Amadi, Mazisi Kunene, Nnedi Okorafor, Lauren Beukes, Leslie Nneka Arimah, and the New African Movement. The book also includes a range of original interviews with prominent authors and artists, including Tanure Ojaide, Lauren Beukes, Patricia Jabbeh Wesley, Benjamin Kwakye, Ntongela Masilela and Bruce Onobrakpeya. Interdisciplinary in its approach, this book will be an important resource for researchers across the fields of African literature, philosophy, culture and politics"-- Geschichte 1950-2022 gnd rswk-swf Künste (DE-588)4033422-3 gnd rswk-swf Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 gnd rswk-swf Afrofuturismus (DE-588)1205743510 gnd rswk-swf Afrikabild (DE-588)4133133-3 gnd rswk-swf Futurismus (DE-588)4019036-5 gnd rswk-swf Afrika (DE-588)4000695-5 gnd rswk-swf Science fiction, African / History and criticism Science fiction films / Africa / History and criticism Futurism (Literary movement) / Africa Futurism (Art) / Africa Futurism (Art) Futurism (Literary movement) Science fiction, African Science fiction films Africa Criticism, interpretation, etc Afrika (DE-588)4000695-5 g Futurismus (DE-588)4019036-5 s Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 s Künste (DE-588)4033422-3 s Afrikabild (DE-588)4133133-3 s Geschichte 1950-2022 z DE-604 Afrofuturismus (DE-588)1205743510 s Okoro, Diké Sonstige (DE-588)143528149 oth Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe, Festeinband 978-1-032-01568-2 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe, Broschur 978-1-032-01569-9 https://doi.org/10.4324/9781003179146 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext |
