| description | Science fiction, as a part of fantastic literature line, deals with aspects of a future brought to the present through narratives that embody technologies and knowledge that are not part of the scientific reach of the period. Even with a certain “unreality”, this approach allows the emergency of questions related to the contemporary way of living. Given that, the purpose of this article is to discuss how science fiction enables to know about man nowadays and the way he relates to others. In order to do that, there were sought theoretical contributions from literary theory, social sciences and psychoanalysis. The following questions are highlighted among the presented: the constant vigilance and monitoring; medicalization of emotions, new approaches to alterity and its difficulties; the obsolescence of the body and transformations made possible by science. Finally, art, and literature specially, is set as a possibility to demonstrate the anxiety and disquiet in face of an uncertain for coming. |

A ficção científica, vertente da literatura fantástica, traz aspectos de um futuro presentificado a partir de narrativas que incorporam tecnologias e conhecimentos que não fazem parte do arcabouço científico da época. Mesmo com certa “irrealidade”, essa proposta permite a emergência de questões que dizem muito do modo de vida contemporâneo. Em vista disso, o objetivo deste artigo é discutir de que maneira a ficção científica permite conhecer o homem da atualidade e seus modos de relação. Para isso, buscou-se os pressupostos teóricos da teória literária, ciências sociais e psicanálise. Dentre as questões levantadas, destacam-se: a constante vigilância e monitoramento; a medicalização das emoções, as novas formas de alteridade e suas dificuldades; a obsolência do corpo e as transformações possibilitadas pela ciência. Por fim, destaca-se a arte, em especial a literatura, como possibilidade de sinalizar a angústia e o inquietamento ante um porvir incerto. 2018-05-15 2022-03-18T16:20:46Z 2022-03-18T16:20:46Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/letras/article/view/8689 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/61807 por https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/letras/article/view/8689/7243 Copyright (c) 2018 Revista de Letras application/pdf Revista de Letras Revista de Letras Revista de Letras; Vol. 56 No. 2 (2016): Dossiê “150 Anos de Pirandello” Revista de Letras; v. 56 n. 2 (2016): Dossiê “150 Anos de Pirandello” 1981-7886 0101-3505 |
