How do authors of speculative work help readers to see what we’ve yet to perceive in this world? How can writers create peoples and places that feel real, while being radically different from what we know?
With an emphasis on language analysis, legibility testing, and ethical nuances related to employing indigenous and minority languages as foundations for “alien” tongues and “imaginary” lands, we will look at how the uniquely inventive qualities of science fiction and fantasy works play a role in creating, representing, preserving, and forwarding worldviews that are, at times, more real for some communities than they are for an author or her readers.
