Autorzy:: Wojtaszek, Aleksandra
Wydawca:: Ośrodek Badawczy Facta Ficta
Cytata wydawnicza:: Aleksandra Wojtaszek, Inny Zagrzeb. Transformacje obrazu miasta w chorwackiej prozie fantastycznej po 1991 roku, "Creatio Fantastica" 2018, nr 1 (58), s. 109-119.
Opis:: Croatian speculative fiction in the last quarter of the century has been dominated by the city of Zagreb. There are three anthologies depicting the capital of Croatia and visions of its future: Zagreb 2004 (1995), Zagreb 2014 (1998) and Zagreb 2094 (2004). Also, in Croatian dystopian fiction, the popularity of which has grown rapidly since 2010, the city becomes a metaphor for the problem of exclusion and deep inequalities between the centre and the periphery. The changes in the literary image of Zagreb over the last twentyfive years illustrate not only the changing perception of an urban space and different ways of experiencing the city by writers, but also depict the evolution of speculative fiction in Croatia by distinguishing its most important elements: the growth of the importance of local motifs and places, as well as blurring the rigid genre boundaries and the evolution towards the socalled slipstream fiction. Thanks to the analysis of literary images of Zagreb, questions about the attitude of fantasy literature of that time towards the main contemporary issues can be raised. The article finally offers a possibility to define either the subversive or conciliatory character of fantasy works in the context of the most dominant ideologies of that time.

Opis:: The article is devoted to substantiation of significance of speculative operations and follows the goal to study their condition and development. It is substantiated that existence and stability of the securities market plays a significant role in development of financial market, which in turn becomes a key element in the mechanism of economy. The authors emphasize that the liquid market continues to function even with a large number of economic agents while price fluctuation of securities have a little change. Yet, arrival of speculators increases the number of participants in stock exchange transactions, thus promoting competition and, ultimately, more efficient detection of real value of economic subject. It has been proven that stock trading is very attractive for those who are interested in a combination of excitement and the possibility of a large quick profit, and is an extraordinary opportunity for profit as process of trading itself appears to be technically simple. It has been established that speculation can be carried out on the stock exchange both using cash and in futures transactions. However, operating with cash transactions has fewer combinations and in general less profitable, thus the main arena of speculators becomes the market of future transactions. It has been proven that speculative profits are possible during both “bullish games” and in shorting’s, thus becoming an important tool for additional attraction of investments. In summary, speculations have a crucial role in achieving a balance between capital market participants.

Tytuł:: The actual, the possible and the hypothetical: The significance of the 2nd conditional for the creation of multidimensional worlds in Bruce Boston’s speculative poems
Autorzy:: Marecki, Mateusz
Opis:: Speculative poetry, which has only recently gained critical recognition, deals with presenting novel viewpoints that both speculate about alternative futures and reflect on the present. One of its most acclaimed representatives is Boston, the author of “what if?” poems (e.g., “Gray People,” “Chess People,” or “Parchment People”). On the one hand, Boston’s poems are imbued with utopianism; but on the other, by touching on such subjects as communal memory, inequality within society, ageing and climate change, they serve as a social critique of the reality as we know it. What is less obvious is the very function of the 2nd conditional clauses in creating poetic worlds, which becomes clear when the poems areread in light of cognitive poetics and Text World Theory: the use of 2nd conditional clauses generates three main and interconnected mental spaces: (1) spaces of the real world (implied metaphorically), (2) projected spaces and (3) hypothetical spaces (speculative extensions).Such a space blending combines the actual, the possible, and the impossible in one. As a result, by providing multidimensional alternate construals, speculative poetry enables the reader to look at the actual world from at least three different cognitive perspectives. What is also characteristic of the “what if?” poems is the absence of a base text-world; thus, the deictic projection occurs directly from the discourse world to the wish/epistemic world, preventing readers from finding the initial textual context to which they could refer in the course of reading. Likewise, because of this lack of a base text-world, it remains unclear whether Boston, when using the pronoun “we” in the apodosis part of conditional clauses,addresses humanity in general or rather some elitist group of people. Debatable is also whether the apodosis part results in generating material processes (either intention or supervention processes) or mental processes. In this presentation I discuss in detail the application of the above-mentioned theoretical categories to Boston’s poems and compare the selected texts to his other two poems: “Last Alchemist,” in which 1st conditional clausesappear, and “Dystopian Dusk,” in which 3rd conditional clauses are present. I argue that although from the grammatical point of view the 1st and 2nd conditionals enable the expression of either a more probable future or a past which cannot be changed, it is the 2nd conditional that makes the “what if” poems epistemologically closest to the discourse world.

Opis:: The article is a critical reflection on the problem of agency of objects, which is analyzed on the basis of chair renewal in the perspective of Graham Harman’s Object-Oriented Ontology. In the course of the analysis it appears that the theory of the American philosopher is insufficient to grasp the problem of objects activity, therefore the article proposes an authorial posthuman category - the concept of performative capital - intended to answer the question of how objects work and, simultaneously, how they exist.

Opis:: Covid-19 pandemic has brought public attention to digital methods of modeling contagion, which have been used not only to predict the future of the infection, but also assess its scope of impact on population and the chances for achieving herd immunity. As a result new outbreak narratives come into being in which algorithmic data processing gains agency in shaping the dynamics of contagion. His unprecedented reliance on modeling tools has decidedly changed the way we think about epidemic, conceptualized now as a phenomenon which to an equal extent is shaped by natural, cultural and technological factors. He paper argues that the major outlet for these new metaphors of contagion, which Milton Singer termed syndemic, are speculative narratives combining fiction with scientific and medical data as well as insights into the functioning of the digital modeling apparatus. His aspect of the current pandemic provides a good vantage point for taking a closer look at a handful of speculative narratives which bring to the foreground the relationship between modeling and social impact of contagion. By reading Michael Crichton’s technothriller The Andromeda Strain (1969) and its sequel, Daniel H. Wilson’s The Andromeda Evolution (2019), I intend to demonstrate how speculative fabulations engages and contests methods of contagion modeling, bringing into play other forms of non-scientiIc knowledge and practices of survival.

Opis:: This article analyzes selected “speculative gestures” (Debaise, Stengers) in contemporary Polish performative arts which stage speculative ecologies. Speculative ecologies are different ways of thinking about ecology, alternative to the modern concept of nature as inert matter separated from humans and bereft of all agency. The analysis aims to unravel some nonanthropocentric modes of distributing agency between humans and nonhumans and ways of knowing they posit. The article focuses specifically on selcted hybrid projects emerging from a fusion of artistic strategies, scientific protocols and new technology design. Examples discussed here demonstrate how the initiators of such projects at the intersection of nature, culture and technology perform three types of speculative ecologies: by staging polyphonic assemblages (Lowenhaupt-Ting) as contingent encounters between human and nonhuman lifeways, by questioning received notions of natural environment, and by registering the agency of abiotic existents as proper ecological actors.

Tytuł:: Utopias, possible worlds, imaginary histories : (de)colonizing Africa in speculative fiction
Autorzy:: Binczycka-Gacek, Elżbieta
Brzostek, Dariusz
Opis:: This article explores the concept of “imaginary history” within speculative fiction narratives, particularly those addressing migration, colonization, and decolonization. These narratives are not merely artistic projections, but function as metaphors for contemporary real-world processes. Drawing on Malcolm Ferdinand’s Decolonial Ecology, the study uses the philosophical perspectives of Martin Heidegger and Hannah Arendt to frame these fictional histories, offering reinterpretation from an African cultural standpoint. The paper delves into the themes of “dwelling”, “terrestrial nature”, and “colonial inhabitation” to examine the speculative portrayal of potential futures where human and post-human life embarks on cosmic migrations, transforms extraterrestrial environments, and constructs artificial habitats. The paper critically assesses the sustainability of human and non-human life in shifting environments, both natural and artificial, offering a speculative framework for understanding these narratives. It analyzes Cristina de Middel’s photobook The Afronauts, which envisions an African space program from the 1960s; the exhibition O Futuro na Lista de Espera, which showcases both dystopian and hopeful visions of the future; Anthony Joseph’s African Origins of UFOs; and the works of Polish speculative fiction writer Jacek Dukaj. Through these lenses, the article investigates how migration, survival, and environmental transformation intersect in speculative fiction, proposing a critical perspective on the survival of life in continually evolving landscapes.

Tytuł:: Cosmology of the platform Internet
Kosmologia internetu platform
Autorzy:: Ciesielczyk, Patryk
Opis:: The aim of this paper is to describe and analyze how the platform, as a form of governance driven by algorithmization, establishes a new spatial order. The text focuses on Benjamin Bratton's speculative theorization of "the Stack" as an "accidental megastructure," a model useful for understanding the organization of large-scale computational systems and their potential to radically transform social and economic structures. Additionally, the paper examines the spatiality of the interface layer, and outlines examples of how digital practices articulate experiences of place, territory, and the user's positioning in platform-based interaction.
