Jenny Bonnevier – författare

Speculative fiction opens doors for imagining beyond what is possible, conventional, or acceptable. With its acute ear for the social, the scientific and for political developments and change, speculative fiction makes frequent use of current topics. Reproduction and parenthood are pertinent social questions that are constantly being renegotiated in various arenas. By investigating the representation of families and reproduction in speculative fiction, the research collected in Populating the Future: Families and Reproduction in Speculative Fiction not only adds to the field of speculative fiction scholarship, but also contributes to the more general discussion about reproduction and family-making. Thanks to its multidisciplinary approach, this book will be of value to scholars and students of various disciplines, such as literature studies, philosophy, ethics, political science, the social sciences and gender studies. It will also be a useful resource in teacher training programmes, as well as to a more general audience interested in speculative literature, politics, society, gender and ethics.
