Media: Battlestar Galactic and Almanac of the Dead
Critical Text: Jameson’s “Culture: The Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism”; Irr’s “The Timeliness of Almanac of the Dead”
Questions: How does race affect conceptions of time in interpretations of the future? For instance, what is the influence of history on certain races in interpretations of the future? Does this affect sexuality? Do the works I’m analyzing interpret these race-based concepts of time as good or bad?
Thesis: I want to explore how time, or one’s spatial conception, varies by race in Battlestar Galactic and Almanac of the Dead and how this affects sexuality. I want to show the consequences of a conception of time spatially focused on the present and how this is connected to race.
