Utopian and dystopian narratives have been inviting prospective thinking since their very inception—and even today, when nationalistic historicism seems to be awaken yet again, they continue to urge, as Donna Harroway once did, for planning our brave new world as the one "becoming with" others: human races, animal species, or even extraterrestial beings. Long-lasting Western paradigm, which has been confronting the human with the animal, the anthropocentrically perceived  monster (moneo, monere), seems to be nowadays re-evaluated from the perspective of ecoctriticism, animal studies, ecology, or environmentalism. And, at the very same time, a variety of fantastic narratives has been cultivated in this intellectual tradition, challenging our dualistic overview of the world as—and encouraging to stop thinking of it in terms of a binary opposition between nature and culture.
