STATE FICTION „SUPERVISE, OBSERVE, INSPECT and INVESTIGATE“: The Scopic Practices of the Swiss Neutral Military Mission in Korea from 1953 to 1980

2022
Talks

Abstract

The public program in the context of Bianca Baldi’s solo exhibition deals with perspectives on the colonial image archive and asks for the potential of a critical redesign. On November 5 and 6, the invited artists and scholars will introduce alternative narratives and research strategies in the form of various, experimental talk formats, screenings and a performance. They will show how archives as infrastructures of preservation perpetuate hegemonic ways of thinking and present alternative archiving methods. What critical practices are needed to use archives as a resource for reflecting on current political issues and future knowledge production? How can silenced voices from the Global South be heard and made fruitful? And what does this mean for the specific Swiss context?

Speculative fiction

Speculative fiction is an umbrella category of fiction that, in its broadest sense, encompasses all the genres that depart from realism, or imitating ordinary reality, such as in the context of supernatural, futuristic, and other imaginative realms. This catch-all genre thus includes, but is not limited to, science fiction, fantasy, horror, superhero fiction, alternate history, utopian and dystopian fiction, and supernatural fiction, as well as combinations thereof (for example, science fantasy).

Science fiction

Science fiction (sometimes shortened to SF or sci-fi) is a genre of speculative fiction, which typically deals with imaginative and futuristic concepts such as advanced science and technology, space exploration, time travel, parallel universes, and extraterrestrial life. Science fiction can trace its roots to ancient mythology. It is related to fantasy, horror, and superhero fiction and contains many subgenres. Its exact definition has long been disputed among authors, critics, scholars, and readers.

Historical fiction

Historical fiction is a literary genre in which the plot takes place in a setting related to the past events, but is fictional. Although the term is commonly used as a synonym for historical fiction literature, it can also be applied to other types of narrative, including theatre, opera, cinema, and television, as well as video games and graphic novels. An essential element of historical fiction is that it is set in the past and pays attention to the manners, social conditions and other details of the depicted period.
