Historical Futurism
– Fiction designed to be tightly based on history, yet being
juxtaposed into the present day or future in order to highlight the
duality between how inhumane society once was and how humane we have
become for purpose of furthering human rights. Love interests are
generally French criminals—often murderesses, mirror the tragedy of
their original lives.
Historical: In such
and such date, a young girl murders her father in crime of passion,
and after investigation she is found guilty and beheaded.
Historical
Futuristic: In two minutes from the present, a young girl (modeled after historical murderess) will attempt to kill her
father to stop him from raping her. Let us look back at a historical
similar case, and try to estimate the most humane alternative to what
has happened in earlier cultures. Let us propose an alternative to
the ultimate punishment in this futuristic case.
