Abstract

Contemporary science fiction cinema appears as a genre that would seem to call into question the story of the irrevocability of capitalism, a capitalism that narrates itself as the end of history and as a necessary episode of a natural and teleologized history of man in community. Thus, science fiction, as perhaps in no other genre, makes practical the question about possible worlds by taking as raw material, and sometimes unconsciously, the pulse of the ideological vanishing points of contemporary capitalism. The questions that we are interested in resolving throughout this work are, then, how are these “real” political crises recognized in the expressions of contemporary science fiction? In what way are they modeled and in what ways, if any, are they resolved narratively?
