は、3部構成 17本の論考を収録。オリエンタリズムや帝国主義をめぐる議論を参照しつつ、SFにおける人種問題を再考しています。第 1部 “First Encounteres” は SFにおける東西の邂逅を人種・政治的緊張に注目して考察。第 2部 “Fear of a Yellow Planet” は「イエロー・ペリル」と「テクノ・オリエンタリズム」の修辞に焦点を置き、第 3部 “Dis-Orienting Planets” は機械化されたアジア的主体を検討しています。巽先生の論文 “Race and Black Humor: From a Planetary Perspective”は、ハリケーン・カトリーナをめぐる“a racist joke”を起点としながら、ブラック・ユーモアと人種の問題を惑星的視点および環太平洋的物語学の文脈から再検討しています。ブライアン・オールディスの「リトル・ボーイ再び」をめぐる日本の SF論争と、核をめぐる日米の言説的転換を 9.11以後の視点から批判的に概観した上で、「アラキ・ヤスサダ」、カレン・テイ・ヤマシタ、シェリー・ジャクソンの環太平洋的想像力が論じられます。ご関心のある方は、ぜひご一読ください！
