Mobility of Science Fiction as a Literary Genre
Description
The article is an attempt to establish mobility of SF expressed mostly by the works of writers belonging to the New Wave
– one of the most important breakthroughs in the history of the genre and, even more importantly, that its effects continue
into the 21st century. Firstly, the article focuses on the changing parameters of the theoretical constructs of the genre as
decades go by, meaning that the more SF works proliferated and touched upon every aspect of humanity, the more
inadequate became the definitions which attempted to encapsulate the whole of the genre.
