This week, we dive into Octavia Butler's short story, Bloodchild. Full disclosure, this one gets a little visceral, but in our defense, it' a visceral read. We discuss themes of love, symbiosis, and parasitic relationships as they relate to the narrative. It's a real romp through this wild sci-fi tale. Hope you enjoy! <hr> Hosted on Acast.

As we cover various pieces, we examine things like: Representation of ethnicity, belief, and gender in media; Framing and representation of disability in art; How writers explore and portray physical and emotional trauma; How various genres, including science fiction and fantasy, provide metaphors for and potential solutions to modern society’s most troubling problems, such as violence, hate, and socioeconomic/environmental crises; Perspectives for critical analysis, including (but not limited to) feminist, queer studies, and Marxist reads of media. <hr> Hosted on Acast.
