[Max Dosser @MADosser]

SF imagines impossible futures, but recent controversies reveal how some fans resist those futures when they drift from their preferred pasts.

Nostalgic Futures explores how fan attachments to SF media relate to the logics of violence/exclusion in reactionary movements.

“If It Ain’t Woke, Don’t Fix It” considers how (anti-)fans nostalgically appealed to imagined pasts of True Detective and Rick & Morty to justify attacking those they blamed for the original creators’ “replacement.”

No paywall!
