This critical work concentrates on the science fiction writings of Paul Linebarger, who wrote under the pseudonym Cordwainer Smith, as well as other pseudonyms he created to reflect his different writing styles. His writings give voice to concerns about humanity and personal struggle; his ideas about love, loss, alienation, and psychic pain continue to resonate today. This work begins with a brief biographical sketch of Cordwainer Smith, linking elements of his past to his writing and focusing on his contributions to science fiction as well as his concern with humanity. Also discussed are Smith's published and unpublished novel-length non-science fiction, his revision process, the true man-underpeople dichotomy in his published and unpublished short fiction, and his only published novel-length science fiction work Norstrilia.

Empire Burlesque traces the emergence of the contemporary global context within which American critical identity is formed. Daniel T. O’Hara argues that globalization has had a markedly negative impact on American cultural criticism, circumscribing both its material and imaginative potential, reducing much of it to absurdity. By highlighting the spectacle of its own self-parody, O’Hara aims to shock U.S. cultural criticism back into a sense of ethical responsibility. Empire Burlesque presents several interrelated analyses through readings of a range of writers and cultural figures including Henry James, Freud, Said, De Man, Derrida, and Cordwainer Smith (an academic, spy, and classic 1950s and 1960s science fiction writer). It describes the debilitating effects of globalization on the university in general and the field of literary studies in particular, it critiques literary studies’ embrace of globalization theory in the name of a blind and vacant modernization, and it meditates on the ways critical reading and writing can facilitate an imaginative alternative to institutionalized practices of modernization. Drawing on Lacanian psychoanalytical theory, it diagnoses contemporary American Studies as typically driven by the mindless abjection and transference of professional identities. A provocative commentary on contemporary cultural criticism, Empire Burlesque will inform debates on the American university across the humanities, particularly among those in literary criticism, cultural studies, and American studies.

“Cordwainer Smith” es el nombre que usó Paul Linebarger para firmar algunas de las páginas más notables de la ciencia ficción de todos los tiempos. Durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial ayudó a organizar uno de los primeros servicios de inteligencia de los Estados Unidos. En ese marco, escribió un manual de guerra psicológica porque pensaba que era mejor persuadir al enemigo que destruirlo. Adelantándose a otros, jugó con personajes como Rambo y James Bond, pero no los adoptó. Antes de asumir la identidad de “Cordwainer Smith” pasó por una profunda crisis que lo hizo asomar a la locura, pero logró salir indemne cuando ya estaba comenzando a arrastrar a su terapeuta. Aún seguía vinculado con el mundo del espionaje cuando puso todas sus dudas y sus sospechas en unas historias donde es posible descubrir a los hermanos Kennedy, a Martin Luther King, al movimiento por los derechos civiles y hasta a Marilyn Monroe. En casos como éste, la personalidad del autor es tanto o más fascinante que la obra. Esto hace que este libro no se agote en lo literario y se vea obligado a internarse en las complejidades de la conciencia.

This book provides students and other interested readers with a comprehensive survey of science fiction history and numerous essays addressing major science fiction topics, authors, works, and subgenres written by a distinguished scholar. This encyclopedia deals with written science fiction in all of its forms, not only novels and short stories but also mediums often ignored in other reference books, such as plays, poems, comic books, and graphic novels. Some science fiction films, television programs, and video games are also mentioned, particularly when they are relevant to written texts. Its focus is on science fiction in the English language, though due attention is given to international authors whose works have been frequently translated into English. Since science fiction became a recognized genre and greatly expanded in the 20th century, works published in the 20th and 21st centuries are most frequently discussed, though important earlier works are not neglected. The texts are designed to be helpful to numerous readers, ranging from students first encountering science fiction to experienced scholars in the field.
