Description: Comme le polar, le roman pornographique ou le thriller, la science-fiction est aussi appréciée par les lecteurs... que peu étudiée par l'université. Mais comment parcourir sans sourire ce grenier mal rangé, encombré de vaisseaux spatiaux, de machines à remonter le temps, de créatures aux anatomies improbables et de sociétés aux lois infantiles ? Comment prendre au sérieux ce syncrétisme de thèmes dûment traités de longue date par la littérature patentée, et d'extrapolations fantaisistes sur base d'articles de vulgarisation scientifique ? Et pourtant ! Quel plaisir sitôt que l'on abandonne ses préjugés ! Premier grand manuel de synthèse consacré à ce domaine particulier de ce qu'il est désormais convenu d'appeler les « paralittératures », le présent ouvrage rend justice à l'extraordinaire vivacité du genre et aux mille et un tours d'écriture à travers lesquels il déploie ses inventions. Il analyse les formes multiples par lesquelles les textes de science-fiction font naître, en même temps que des mondes, l'émerveillement de s'y projeter. Un point ressort fortement : on n'aborde pas la science-fiction sans un ensemble de savoirs nourris par les autres romans du genre et par les images des sciences et techniques en circulation dans notre société. Un bon lecteur de science-fiction ne s'étonnera pas du jappement d'un hralz dans la narration d'une fête futuriste... Sans doute est-ce cette mise en commun des imaginaires qui caractérise au fond les paralittératures : les connaissances nécessaires à la compréhension ne sont pas toutes à construire au fil des aventures contées, mais à puiser dans un stock identifié de références partagées. Pour la première fois depuis l'apparition du texte de science-fiction, on explore ici les liaisons entre le genre littéraire, son fonctionnement textuel et sa place dans l'institution.

Description: The epic that began with the HUGO and NEBULA Award-winning classic DUNE -- now a major motion picture from the director of Blade Runner 2049 and Arrival -- continues ... The long-established galactic order is passing. The Honoured Matres, ruthless and all-conquering, have destroyed the planet Dune. In opposition, hard-pressed but still fighting back, the Bene Gesserit sisterhood co-ordinate their resistance from their as-yet undiscovered home world, Chapter House. Now as a new Scattering is planned, they still have one carefully nurtured asset: the sandworms, offspring of the only giant worm salvaged from Dune. Chapter House is to about to turn into a barren wasteland: Chapter House will be the new Dune.
