SF operates under no such constraint; and hence (at least in principle) there is no limit to the existential elements, stylistic strategies, and narrative forms that can be accessed and brought together within its generic frame except as its possibilities are determined by the constitutive conditions of its reception.
Yet even a hermeneutic Marxism, with its continuing insistence on militant rationalism and binary logic, is only a problematical variant within the institution of SF, at best sharing in the latter's interesting if ambivalent destinies.
