Business Administration - Accounting & Financial Planning EAC349 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Speculative Fiction, Jacques Lacan, Iceberg
Document Summary
Okay we will have our first quiz today. As promised i won"t give it right in the beginning in case latecomers arrive. What i"d like is, have you discuss for about 5 minutes about the margret atwood article. Everything we have assigned for the particular day are fair game. Can you try to summarize to yourself what atwood is saying about sf and about human psychology. She gets into the ideas of the human psyche. S: what did freud have to do with that we"re doing. T: ill lecture about that but i won"t ask about freud on the test, he isn"t easy to read. I give you lacan"s essay which is hard to read. She"s also a sf writer who denies she is a sf writer. T: maybe it"s changed now but i do agree that the niche of sf is seen as less in demand then general fiction.
