Comparisons between the “eastern” and “western” science fiction visions of “the future”

The American University in Bulgaria and Sofia University, is pleased to announce the second edition of the “Science Fiction and Communism Conference”. We will continue to explore the entanglement between fictional and cultural text, political and imaginative realities in film, literature, architecture, science, politics, etc. and the Cold War and beyond. The conference is open to all disciplines, approaches and methods. We are welcoming researchers, practitioners and students. Papers with agenda of a transnational dissemination or exchange of Science Fiction novels or movies, are particularly welcome.
