Supervisor(s): Dr Hans Demeyer (principal) and Kevin Inston (subsidiary) Stephanie T Y Ng - Affective Belonging and Aspirational Normativity in Twenty-First Century Fiction It will argue that the global impact of neoliberalism is one of the most significant factors that encourages the two sf boom, which could transcend the ‘pastiche’ in the neoliberal social discourse and introduce new potential to make it less difficult to imagine the end of capitalism. ‘Demise of False Utopia’ discussing the social and cultural changes resulted from the proliferation of neoliberal values in China and the UK, ‘Do Not Go Gentle into the “Good Hell”’ challenging the neoliberal discourse that dominates the global structure, and ‘Pass the Point of No Return’ exploring the alternatives to our current neoliberal capitalism indicated in post-singularity and post-apocalypse narratives.

This study consists of a series of coherent comparative case studies divided into three sections, i.e. The relatively simultaneous emergence of the British SF Boom and the Chinese New Wave is certainly something more than a sheer coincidence. Supervisor(s): Dr James Kneale (principal) and Dr Lu Xiaoning, SOAS (subsidiary) Timely with the recent republication of some of Jones' novels, the project hopes to amplify a significantly aural, but often over-looked voice Guangzhao Lyu - The Boom and The Boom: A Comparative Study of the Post-1990 Chinese and British Science Fictions In considering Jones' musical techniques, this project will acknowledge and investigate Jones' innovation and experimental formal skill that has been submitted by critical attention, often hostile to her work's thematic content. This study seeks to redress an imbalance by attending to the work of a much neglected author and taking account of her entire oeuvre, including her later novels and poetry collections that have received startlingly little attention. In answering this, I will explore the way in which they can facilitate psychological recovery from trauma, assert individual, national and racial identity and absorb and confront the enduring legacy of slavery in modern America. My central research enquiry is to decipher the aesthetic and political purposes Jones' musical techniques serve. This project will explore Jazz and The Blues in the work of Gayl Jones, seeking to discern precisely how Jones translates or transcribes musical techniques into literary ones and renders her written texts distinctly oral. Supervisor(s): Prof Paul Gilroy and Dr Christine Yao
