Science fiction (SF) is undergoing a radical revision in academic circles. No longer consigned to the periphery of specialized publications, it is increasingly recognized as making possible a series of debates on pressing issues under the larger umbrella of globalization. This library exhibit, \u201cVisions of the Future: Global Science Fiction,\u201d is planned to highlight the themes used in the \u201cVisions of the Future: Global SF Cinema\u201d conference which aims to fill a critical gap in global SF as well as to identify new models and methods for investigating SF cinema\u2019s relationship to current issues throughout the world. Although the conference is focused on SF cinema, this exhibit also includes other media like novels, comics, and videogames.<\/p>\n
