Am ever honored to have my lectio praecursoria, "Technonaturalist Speculative Fiction and Literary Affordance", published in glorious Fafnir - Nordic Journal of Science Fiction and Fantasy Research. The dragon has also found a new home at the journal.fi research platform. Come one, come all! https://fafnir.journal.fi/article/view/155865

It is out in the world! For editors Anna McFarlane and Will Slocombe "what wins the prize for the most unexpected title" for the cyberpunk anniversary issue of Foundation is my new article, "Affectivity of 'Pants Science': Speculative Clothing, Disco Elysium, and Pattern Recognition"!

In the text, I delve into the feedback loop between speculative worlds and their commodification.

Of interest to #LiteraryStudies #CognitiveLiteraryStudies #AffectStudies #GameStudies #FashionStudies scholars, without forgetting #Cyberpunk #ScienceFiction #RPG #DiscoElysium #WilliamGibson enthusiasts.
