Decolonizing Speculative Fiction with Native American Writers Inasmuch as Speculative Fiction offers far-reaching possibilities and alternative realities, these non-mimetic subgenres such as horror, sci-fi, fantasy, and the supernatural (etc.) are traditionally and (more often than not) presently forged through euro-centric characteristics, values, and worldbuilding. Indeed, even the rhetorical practices and narrative configurations of the text can replicate forms in service of Western cultural hegemony. This course asks readers to consider how Native American writers working within and against speculative genre forms and expectations embrace radical approaches to decolonize imaginary, fantastical, and futuristic storytelling.
