Descripción
Sumario:The purpose of this article is to draw a map of the dystopian/utopian literary genre, taking on account the close relationship between both words –the etymology of the term refers to a particular locus- and its also close relationship with science fiction. A locus whose founding scenes take place, from my point of view, in Dr. Frankenstein’s and in Brave New World labs, and that is revisited by postmodern dystopian novels. In recent productions"”such as G. Belli’s Waslala, M. Houllebecq’ s The Possibility of an Island and J. Winterson’s The Stone Gods, the genre shakes traditional bourgeois values. That leads us to reread Luckács’ theory of the novel and its reformulation in Donna Haraway’s Cyborg Manifesto. Taking this point of view, we can open an interesting debate regarding alternative policies of subjectivity as well as the impact it has on the relationship between man and environment.
