SFF’s Prophetic Fragments

This panel looks to the intrusion of typical science fiction/fantasy elements into narratives that may otherwise be deemed “realistic.” In this panel we wish to expand the boundaries of genres like “magical realism” or “New Wave fabulism” and explore the intersections of the fantastic and the (hyper-)real.
