The oxygen garden, however, was populated by Tasmanian tree ferns, which grow at barely a couple of centimetres a year under normal conditions. In 2015's The Martian, botanist-turned-astronaut Mark Watney survives being marooned on the Red Planet by growing his own potatoes. Plants produce oxygen as a by-product of photosynthesis, and it has been calculated that for every 22 litres of oxygen produced, plants gain 150 grams in dry weight. [Extracted from the article]

Cold-War Cabin Ecologies: Soviet-American Biospheric Thinking.
Science Fiction Studies. Jul2022, Vol. 49 Issue 2, p267-287. 21p.
This article draws a connection between closed-biosphere tropes in Kim Stanley Robinson's Icehenge (1984) and Soviet and American research on closed artificial ecologies. The article contends that during the 1980s, bioregenerative food systems--as research objects and literary tropes--expressed a perception of socialism and capitalism as imperfect yet eternal states. Two challenges are analogized: 1) conceiving political alternatives at the twentieth century's end, and 2) sustaining livable habitats using a closed ecology's limited available resources (for example, by deriving nutrients from waste). Both challenges inspire a mode of aggressive re-use here termed "strategic recycling." To close, the article assesses the ambivalent politics attending biospheric thinking: closed biospheres clarify humans' metabolic enmeshment in their environments, inviting the radical reassessment of organism-environment relations as ratios of useful outputs over required inputs (what one emits over what one eats). The resulting perspective carries both utopian and eugenic implications that make biospheric thinking itself a "recyclable" material that can be conscripted with equal ease into emancipatory and reactionary projects.

Settler Colonialism and Science Fiction : Imagining the Worlds Turned Inside Out.
Journal of Global Postcolonial Studies; Spring/Fall2023, Vol. 10 Issue 1/2, p54-77, 24p
When it comes to imagining new worlds, there is no better new world than a literally brand new one. Mars is the closest option, and humans recently directed a few sophisticated objects toward it. Billionaire Elon Musk is planning to turn it into a colony. Science fiction has imagined Mars and many other new worlds and has routinely reflected on real or impending contradictions developing on Earth. The contradictions are, in a sense, where the new worlds are imagined from, but the new worlds are often imagined as settler colonies located somewhere else. This article sketches the long-term evolution of science fiction colonialism. It surveys the ways in which science fiction has engaged with settler colonialism as a specific mode of domination.

Fin de Siècle, Fin du Globe: Mars Invaders and the End of Beauty as a Transatlantic Phenomenon.
Synergies; 2023, Vol. 4, p111-124, 14p
The War of the Worlds is a famous novel by British writer H.G. Wells. Having been serialised in 1897 in Pearson's Magazine in the UK and in Cosmopolitan in the USA, it is also an early example of globalisation, as it was read simultaneously on both sides of the Atlantic. Furthermore, unlike other works of the time (especially American) which conjured up social paradises and utopian worlds on planet Mars , Wells' novel introduced into Western imagery the concretisation of a real threat coming from other worlds and capable of destroying the 'civilisation' that Europe and America had painstakingly built. The narrator, sometimes assuming the traits of the voyeur, and at other times those of the flaneur, becomes the symbol of a crepuscular phase of Western society that is already on its way towards the condition of a wasteland. Thanks to a deus-ex-machina device consisting in a new and powerful, albeit elementary, coalition between God and biology, the narrator survives the end of beauty, not only in an aesthetic sense, but also as a cultural heritage that should be preserved. As such, he is one of the most interesting and controversial characters of dystopian fiction ; and it is not by chance that the novel has had so many sequels, accompanied by pastiches and adaptations, which have turned it into a real cult work transcending time and space. I intend to focus both on the characteristics of the narrator as a transmedia character and on the American reception of the original novel in the phase of transition from the Gay Nineties to the Progressive Era. This is a little investigated subject if compared, for example, to the countless studies on the collective panic that followed Orson Welles' radio play in 1938. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
