Abstract

In this talk, I want to introduce some important current American science fiction movements to a Chinese audience. After establishing a baseline understanding of the popular science fiction tradition, I will briefly review the development of Cyberpunk, Steampunk, Solarpunk, and Afrofuturism (and indigenous futurisms), as well as their manifestations across all mediums. These science fiction movements revolve around ideas and discussions regarding technology and its role in the modern world. Finally, I will touch upon the current state of Chinese science fiction narratives based on my observations and share my interpretation of punk.
