Novela y cine de ciencia ficción española contemporánea: Una reflexión sobre la humanidad

Description

This book is a comprehensive study on a marginal genre that reveals key elements of Spanish culture and invites a better understanding of humanity as a whole. The body of work on the topic of Spanish science fiction is severely limited and, of the very few sources that exist, most focus on literature by means of a historical perspective. This work analyzes both literature and cinema in an interdisciplinary context and includes a critical and philosophical perspective in order to explore a diversity of cultural topics of contemporary relevance.

Reviews

“Demonstrating stylistic elegance, meticulous research, and a comprehensive approach, [this work] is the best scholarly study to date that offers a highly innovative and impressively wide- ranging exploration of important questions given our present time, place and space and how Spanish science fiction writers and filmmakers engage their readers in them: universal questions pertaining to our very humanity, our role as rational beings, as agents and victims of war, as proponents of nationalism, racism, or feminism, as interpreters of History, our debate with religion, and as technological partners in our very own uncertain future.” – Prof. Doreen O’Connor-Gómez, Whittier College
