Guillaume,
For SF literary theory I would recommend:
1) Darko Suvin's "Metamorphoses of Science Fiction"
2) Carl Malmgren's "Worlds Apart"
3) Damien Broderick's "Reading by Starlight"
4) Robert Scholes's "Structural Fabulation"
And many articles from the journal "Science Fiction Studies." Good luck!

Hello everyone,
As a first message to mailbase, I was wondering if any of you could help me out with my current research.
I'm currently doing a Master of Literature and cinema, in both la Sorbonne (Paris IV) and the University of Glasgow, and my final dissertation is on "cinematic adaptation of science-fiction books".
I'm wondering if you could help me to find some critical books about science-fiction, most especially in literature but also in cinema. At the moment, I have read those one :
- Farah Mendlesohn, Rhetorics of Fantasy.
- Tzevtan Todorov, The Fantastic: A Structural Approach to a Literary Genre.
- Frederic Jameson, Archaeologies of the Future: The Desire Called Utopia and Other Science Fictions.
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Guillaume Lecomte
