摘要

The central theoretical concept underpinning this article is Lyman Tower Sargent's notion of the a??critical dystopiana?? novel, which is not nihilistic, but which disrupts easy binarist classifications, and incorporates elements of opposition to oppression, as well as hope for a more egalitarian future. I examine critical dystopian dreaming as portrayed in two novels by Lauren Beukes, Moxyland (2008) and Zoo City (2010), both set in South Africa, and I connect the concerns explored within these novels to the current mood of the South African nation. Moxyland, which employs techniques of the dystopian, cyberpunk and slipstream, delineates a technological, materialistic alternative society which mirrors and intensifies the structural violence of the present. Zoo City was the recipient of the prestigious Arthur C. Clarke Award, a British award presented to the best science fiction novel published in the United Kingdom in the previous year. In this dystopian text, billed as a a??muti (or indigenous medicine) noira?? novel, Beukes interestingly indigenises the concept of the animal daemon which she adapts from Philip Pullman.View full textDownload full textKeywordscritical dystopia, science fiction, Lauren Beukes, South African fictionRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; var addthis_config = {"data_track_addressbar":true,"ui_click":true}; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/14725843.2012.692542

Clarke Award）的获得者，该奖项是去年颁发给英国出版的最佳科幻小说的英国奖项。在此反乌托邦文字中，被称为a？muti（或土著医学）noira？小说，Beukes有趣地将她从Philip Pullman改编的动物守护程序的概念本地化。 citeulike，netvibes，twitter，technorati，美味，linkedin，facebook，stumbleupon，digg，google，更多”，发布：“ ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b”}; var addthis_config = {“ data_track_addressbar”：true，“ ui_click”：true};添加到候选列表链接永久链接http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/14725843.2012.692542
