A discussion addresses general problems associated with studying science fiction narratives today. What does it take to make a believable illusion of the scientific out of literary fiction? What are the most contemporary views on the genre and its multiple iterations? Is it still a genre? These and many more questions have been tackled below by the leading experts in science fiction studies: Paweł Frelik (University of Warsaw), the most prominent Polish theorist in the field, editor of the „Journal of Gaming and Virtual Worlds”, and author of Visual Cultures of Science Fiction (2017, reviewed in this issue), as well as the first Polish president of Science Fiction Research Association (2013-2014); Paul Kincaid, renowned science fiction critic, author of A Very British Genre: A Short History of British Fantasy and Science Fiction (1995) and What It Is We Do When We Read Science Fiction (2000); Lisa Swanstrom (University of Utah), co-editor of „Science Fiction Studies”, and author of Animal, Vegetable, Digital: Experiments in New Media Aesthetics and Environmental Poetics (2016); Sherryl Vint (University of Alberta), also co-editor of „Science Fiction Studies”, director of Science Fiction and Technoculture Studies at University of California, Riverside, and co-editor of The Routlege Companion to Science Fiction (2009); and, finally, „Creatio Fantastica” editors—Krzysztof M. Maj, Mateusz Tokarski, and Barbara Szymczak-Maciejczyk.

Światocentryczność fantastyki

EN
The article introduces the reader to the phenomenon of the so-called world-centeredness as well as to the world-centered turn in contemporary narrative theory. Having delineated cultural, economic, and transmedial aspects of the turn in question, the author discusses the problem of academic discrimination against fantasy, science fiction, and similar genres in Polish literary theory of the 20th and 21st centuries. This aims for redirecting the focus of literary theory towards more neglected aspects of artistic production such as world-building (instead of storytelling), immersion (instead of closereading), and performatic worldplay (instead of backgrounding the diegetic world). All these new phenomena are suggested for inclusion in postclassical narrative studies applied to analysing fantasy, science fiction, and other forms of fantastika across the media.
PL
Artykuł wprowadza polskiego czytelnika w problematykę światocentryczności i zwrotu światocentrycznego we współczesnej teorii narracji. Nakreśliwszy kulturowe, ekonomiczne i transmedialne aspekty rzeczonego zwrotu, autor porusza problem dyskryminacji fantasy, science fiction oraz nurtów pokrewnych w akademickim piśmiennictwie teoretycznoliterackim XX i XXI wieku w Polsce. Celem tego jest przekierowanie uwagi teorii literatury na ignorowane dotąd aspekty twórczości artystycznej, takie jak choćby światotwórstwo (w miejsce fabułotwórstwa), imersja (w miejsce uważnego czytania) i performatywna światogra (w miejsce traktowania świata jako tła wydarzeń fabularnych). Wszystkie te zjawiska postuluje się włączyć w obręb postklasycznych studiów narratologicznych wykorzystywanych do analizy fantasy, science fiction oraz innych form fantastyki na przestrzeni różnych mediów.
