From golems to Gollum, ghosts to Ironman, hobbits to succubi, zombies to dopplegangers, the possessed to those who wield the dark arts, the not-human, the almost-human, the was-human, the wants-to-be-human, the beyond-human, and those who use unknown powers to prey on humans have populated human culture and narrative from the beginning. Analysis from any critical perspective, exploring texts drawn from literature, film/TV, graphic novels, manga, comics, visual arts, and elsewhere, is welcome.
The progressive technologies and futuristic perspectives at the heart of most science fiction are in many ways a natural fit with a more progressive understanding of disability. Science fiction texts typically grapple with concepts such as transhumanism, embodiment, and autonomy more directly than do those of other genres, and in doing so they raise significant questions about the experience of disability; more broadly, they often convey the place of disability in not only the future but also the world of today.
