A few assorted bits I found related to Design Fiction whilst following a link somewhere, to somewhere else.<\/p>\n
The future – a rough guide<\/a> which is a blog by this fellow Jon Turney.<\/p>\n Can Science Fiction be Lab Lit?<\/a> – A curious story that suggests science fiction can be a kind of laboratory literature. ((Of course, what we believe in this Near Future Laboratory is that the two are productively and aspirationally indistinguishable. Laboratory Literature is precisely Science Fiction; lab manuals and protocol handbooks; bioscience text books; specialists’ seminars and conferences; when thought of as science fiction only allow a more expansive and future-forward view of what can be, beyond the disciplined and tweedy confines of traditional practices and means of creating and circulating knowledge.))<\/p>\n lablit.com<\/a> generally seems to poke in this direction but stops short in that it piles up a berm between the fiction and the lab practice. Why not make the two the same in a productive way?<\/p>\n The Portrayal of Scientists in Science Fiction<\/a> By Lucy A. Snyder looks to be a text in line with David Kirby’s work on scientists’ portrayals in film.<\/p>\n Somehow I also stumbled across this dissertation called Lab Coats in the Dream Factory: Science and Scientists in Hollywood<\/em> from Scott Frank, Ph.D. in Anthropology from USC. Typically, it seems it is buried out of reach in the great dissertation hamper deep in the earth’s molten core.<\/p>\n Why do I blog this?<\/strong> Just a few tidbits for the notebook and continuing this vector, trying to figure out what and for whom this whole Design Fiction thing may be.
