Identify the forms of the fantastic as a privileged observatory of the social dynamics is a great merit!
tales of the fantastic show enormous potential of information and symbolic dynamics does not conceal the deep cultural industry, but instead makes it obvious!
science fiction, gender appeared rather late on the scene of mass cultural consumption and yet able to return the conflict - man / machine, nature / artifice, individual / mass - with a feature comparable to that of the mythical stories is one of the places where most frequently illuminate contemporary mythologies, allowing us to understand the context of social change with a significant advance over most of the sociological contributions.
On the other hand, science fiction - very embodiment of the great age of positivism and its technological derivatives - is also the place where the imagination is constantly redefining the way industrial and mass. Science fiction is a metagene that, rewriteable, contains and activates all the others, but most importantly it is a horizon that allows you to actualize the narrative themes and the basic figures of myth reorganizing signs in order to restore the sense of this through the sense of the future.
We find in it, since the seeding of the scientific romance, and even before the gothic, which is removed or shifted elsewhere: the important figure of death and eros, the constellation of conflict between tradition and innovation, applications duly filed in sphere of the sacred.
In its various translations within the media system, whether it be movies or comics, literature or illustration, science fiction - more and better than other narrative genres - is one area of \u200b\u200bwhat is speakable in which it is concealed evident.
The historical understanding of the dynamics of cultural production in the industrial age is essential to address this, whether it puts in perspective antagonistic toward the cultural industry, whether we move to "make it"
