AB Introducing the terms “science/fiction” and “imagineering,” the essay aims to move beyondthe “two cultures” divide and emphasises instead the interdependency between science andliterature or, more specifically, between “real science” and “science fiction.” It argues thattechnoscientific visions are indebted to narrative imaginings and that the promises oftechnoscience, in turn, influence individual and collective fantasies. The analytical focus ison imagineerings of the posthuman body or subject in various types of science/fiction. Inorder to challenge the orthodoxy of posthumanism’s progressive trajectory, these figura-tions will be scrutinised in view of underlying liberal-humanist and, hence, androcentric,ethnocentric and anthropocentric assumptions.
