Steampunk is a sub-genre of science fiction that typically features steam-powered machinery, especially in a setting inspired by industrialized Western civilization during the 19th century.

Слайд 3

Therefore, steampunk works are often set in an alternate history of the 19th century's British Victorian era or American "Wild West", in a post-apocalyptic future during which steam power has regained mainstream use, or in a fantasy world that similarly employs steam power . Steampunk may also, though not necessarily, incorporate additional elements from the genres of fantasy, horror, historical fiction, alternate history, or other branches of speculative fiction, making it often a hybrid genre.

Because of the popularity of steampunk , there is a growing movement towards establishing steampunk as a culture and lifestyle . Some fans of the genre adopt a steampunk aesthetic through fashion , home decor, music, and film. This may be described as neo-Victorianism, which is the amalgamation of Victorian aesthetic principles with modern sensibilities and technologies .

It was suggested that because steampunk was inclusive of and encorporated ideas from various other subcultures such as goth , neo-Victorian, and cyberpunk as well as a growing number of fandoms, it was fast becoming a super -culture rather than a mere subculture.

The birth of the genre Though many works which are thought to be steampunk were published in 1960-s and 1970-s, this term was invented by writer Kevin Jeter in the end of 1980-s. He was trying to fing general term for such works as «The Anubis Gates» (Tim Powers, 1983), « Gomunculus » (James Blaylock, 1986), and his own works « Morlock Night» (1979) and «Infernal Devices» (1987). In all these works, the world is on the level of technology of XIX century, and storytelling style imitated Victorian fiction, such as HG Wells' novel "The Time Machine.“
