Difference between historical and historical futurism.


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.
