Описание: The anticipatory logic of speculation and pre-emptive politics of risk are increasingly gaining significance in a globalising neoliberal world. This study traces risk and speculation as aesthetic and political-economic strategies in factual and fictional discourses emerging at the North American Pacific Rim within a decade around 2000. Its exemplary close readings in particular focus on three fictional texts (Kathryn Bigelows Hollywood film Strange Days, 1995, Karen T Yamashitas novel Tropic of Orange, 1997, and Larissa Lais novel Salt Fish Girl, 2002) whose intricate aesthetics pass perceptive critique on concurrent political-economic discourses and their subtle reconfiguration of race, class, and gender. The speculative near-future scenarios projected by these artefacts expose the rise of risk as a new rationality of governance. At the same time they illustrate neoliberal speculation as a new paradigm of subject formation at a hyper-capitalist, millennial Pacific Rim.
