In this video lecture, Dr. Maria Takolander, Associate Professor of Deakin University, Victoria Australia, talks about a spectrum of speculative fiction and allegory, which reaches from the marvellous to the near-reality narrative. In doing so, she cites examples from writers like Alexis Wright, Evie Wyld, Kathryn Heyman, and Merlinda Bobis, who all approach contemporary speculative fiction in distinct ways, yet with some shared themes and concerns.
