The ancient past and fiction, or about the construction of worlds by humanities scholars: A review of books by D.E. Martynov

“…Marik Lerner’s science fiction novel “Practical Ufology” fits within the subliterary genre of “accidental travel”, and any background information from the Roman-Byzantine life is not very appropriate in the adventure text. The new novel “The Triumphant” by Olga Eliseeva, a professional historian, can be labeled as a form of the “science novel” genre, because it has numerous references and “anchors” that only an educated person is able to understand. …”

Le paysage spatial dans la bande dessinée de science-fiction by Irène Langlet

Réécrire l'Histoire pour les enfants du point de vue des Amérindiens : devoir de mémoire, devoir d'imagination (Brésil, États-Unis) by Pauline Franchini
