“I view the students’ writings as speculative-ontologies. The ‘bodies’ or events activated in speculative writing are ‘real’ as linguistic marks on the page, and the worlds they discuss are also ‘real’ (lived SF situated knowledges) although speculative. The students’ writings exemplify Haraway’s SF and probe questions such as: if our present city is unbearable, how might we craft an alternative world? Once the students presented their speculative cities to each other, and discussed their own writing practices, they posted their writings on telephone poles for other people to read. This was a way of ‘publishing’ their writings and answering back to the ‘real’ city and its inhabitants as probes for further thought” (Truman, 2018 p. 37)
