Although the investigation of emotions has rarely been the focus of modern narrative theory, studies analyzing represented emotions in narratives do get published from time to time. For a long time, the study of readers’ emotions was practically non-existent, as the methodological apparatus was

Cyberpunk at the Intersection of the Postmodern and Science Fiction
Series:
Postmodern Studies, Volume: 34
Author:
Virtual Geographies is the first detailed study to offer a working definition of cyberpunk within the postmodern force field. Cyberpunk emerges as a new generic cluster within science fiction, one that has spawned many offspring in such domains as film, music, and feminism. Its central features are its adherence to a version of virtual space and a deconstructivist, punk attitude towards (high) culture, modernity, the human body and technology, from computers to prosthetics. The main proponents of cyberpunk are analyzed in depth along with the virtual landscapes they have created - William Gibson’s Cyberspace, Pat Cadigan’s Mindscapes and Neal Stephenson’s Metaverse. Virtual reality is examined closely in all its aspects, from the characteristic narrative constructions employed to the esthetic implications of the ‘virtual sublime’ and its postmodern potential as a discursive mode. With its interdisciplinary approach Virtual Geographies opens up fresh perspectives for scholars interested in the interaction between popular culture and mainstream literature. At the same time, the science fiction fan will be taken beyond the conventional boundaries of the genre into such revitalizing domains as postmodern architecture and literature, and into cutting-edge aspects of science and social thought.

scholarship, such as that of Jean Dangler, Julio-César Santoyo, Brian Catlos, and Sharon Kinoshita, however, offer models and methodologies that move away from these earlier essentializing, nationalistic debates and suggest larger frames within which the multiple linguistic traditions of the Peninsula can be
