Description
Steampunk has evolved from a small subculture to a prominent force in contemporary culture. This phenomenon, which originated in Victorian and literary roots, now influences film, television, video games, music, fashion, and more. A collection of essays explores steampunk's rise to popularity, its various manifestations, and why it matters. The contributors examine the genre through different lenses, including disability studies, queerness, ethos, and digital humanities. By analyzing these aspects, they shed light on the intriguing history of steampunk and its influence from the 1970s to the present day. The book offers a wide-ranging perspective on steampunk's place in culture, encouraging readers to consider why this genre has become so significant.
