Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject Literature - Modern Literature, grade: 1,7, University of Bremen, course: Transnationale Literaturwissenschaft, language: English, abstract: Postmodern SiFi series like "The 100" or "Snowpiercer" also employ methods of colonialism and imperialism reminiscent of classic novels like "The Time Machine". Class societies and discrimination seem to be firmly linked to the genre. This thesis compares "The 100" series to "The Time Machine", focusing on the aspects of the narrative that are shaped by colonialism and imperialism. Auch in postmodernen SiFi Serien wie "The 100" oder "Snowpiercer" werden Methoden des Kolonialismus und Imperialismus angewendet, die an Klassiker wie "The Time Machine" erinnern. Klassengesellschaften und Diskriminierung scheinen fest mit dem Genre verbunden zu sein. Diese Arbeit vergleicht die Serie "The 100" mit "The Time Machine" und fokussiert sich dabei auf die Aspekte der Narration, die von Kolonialismus und Imperialismus geprägt sind.
