The Earlie King & The Kid in Yellow (2018), de Danny Denton, narra o mito da destruição da Irlanda através do fogo e o colapso digital após o país enfrentar anos de chuvas ininterruptas causadas pela catástrofe ambiental deixada principalmente pela indústria farmacêutica. O propósito deste artigo é investigar como essa obra coaduna e desafia ao mesmo tempo a tradição ecocrítica e distópica produzida na língua inglesa dos centros hegemônicos e a tradição literária de seu próprio país. Para tanto eu utilizo quatro divisões didáticas: 1) breve resumo de como o Antropoceno tem sido representado na literatura de língua inglesa; 2) a contribuição da distopia para representação das alterações climáticas na literatura; 3) panorama histórico da literatura da Irlanda e 4) contextualização da obra de Denton em análise. Nesta última parte, arremato com a observação de que o romance não propõe alternativa para solucionar os problemas do Antropoceno, mas alerta para o colapso que estamos na iminência de vivenciar
丹尼·丹顿(Danny Denton)的《早起的国王和黄色的孩子》(The Earlie King & The Kid in Yellow, 2018)讲述了爱尔兰因主要由制药业造成的环境灾难而面临多年不间断的降雨后，被大火和数字崩溃摧毁的神话。本文的目的是探讨这部作品如何结合和挑战霸权中心英语语言中产生的生态批评和反乌托邦传统，以及它自己国家的文学传统。为此，我使用了四个教学部分:1)人类世在英语文学中是如何表现的简要总结;2)反乌托邦在文献中对气候变化表征的贡献;3)爱尔兰文学的历史概述，4)丹顿作品的语境分析。在最后一部分中，我观察到小说并没有提出解决人类世问题的替代方案，而是警告我们即将经历的崩溃

This article considers the threat of environmental destruction in YA dystopian imagination by providing a close reading of Saci Lloyd’s The Carbon Diaries 2015 (2008) and The Carbon Diaries 2017 (2010) that particularly considers whether these texts espouse radical social change and whether they offer hope or despair. First, the article demonstrates that Lloyd’s novels do not merely portray climate change as a backdrop for human drama, but rather attempt to disentangle the environmental crisis from the post-political sphere (Swyngedouw 2010) where humanity as a whole is under threat. While its protagonists learn to cope with ecological uncertainty and the multidimensional challenges of climate change, indeed, they also come to terms with the social and political dimensions of climate change. Second, the article claims that one of the most important features of these two novels is their attempt to explore the challenges faced by the younger generations when dealing with the contemporary climate challenge. Young people in fact bear a disproportionate burden of the environmental crises the world faces today and are subject to climate anxiety. Moreover, they are not only disproportionately impacted by climate change, but their agency and visions of the future are often placed under erasure discursively. Lloyd’s novels, instead, provide a young adult perspective on the uneven universality of climate change. Finally, the article suggests that the presence of utopian hope at the conclusion of the novels does not provide a consoling and comforting happy ending but helps readers to come to terms with an imperfect world. The article’s close reading of The Carbon Diaries 2015 and 2017, therefore, attempts to underscore the novels’ projection of a possible future where a radical systemic change is envisaged.

Speculative fiction is a particularly relevant genre at the moment when, apart from the troubling global impact of late-modern phenomena, the ongoing pandemic and the 2022 Russo-Ukrainian War have raised universal concern. This paper conducts a comparative analysis of two novels which describe a postapocalyptic world after a deadly plague and a nuclear conflict, respectively: Margaret Atwood’s Oryx and Crake (2004 [2003]) and Dmitry Glukhovsky’s Metro 2033 (2010 [2005]). It approaches the texts as critiques of late-modern neoliberal capitalism, employing the theory by Zygmunt Bauman, Ulrich Beck and Mark Fisher. Additionally, it scrutinises the representation of the neoliberal subject in Atwood’s book and utilises Svetlana Boym’s reflection on nostalgia in post-Soviet Russia to comment on Glukhovsky’s work. Lastly, it examines the posthuman alternative the two authors present for the deeply flawed human social orders.

In recent decades, philosophical reflection on the utopian has focused on the analysis of the way in which the future-possible and the radically unknown or “other” influence our present. Specifically, accelerationism and Object-oriented Ontology have identified horror and weird fiction in general, and H. P. Lovecraft in particular, as the privileged field from which to access a radically anti-humanist absolute exteriority (Outside) with the aim of developing a new anti-species worldview, one which Timothy Morton calls “Dark Ecology.” This article analyzes the philosophical foundations of this worldview, showing the exclusive and proto-fascist character it harbors, which is why it should be clearly separated from other post-humanisms and/or new materialisms based on the hybridization and interconnection characteristic of relational ontologies.

The dystopian character of Joca Reiners Terron’s A morte e o meteoro (2019) is indissociable from its critique of colonialism. But while the novel makes frequent references to the violent methods of exploitation that characterized American colonization, it mostly relies on allusions to different literary traditions—including gothic fiction, the adventure novel, and science fiction—in its depiction of colonialism. The dialogue with Heart of Darkness plays a significant role in A morte e o meteoro, which to a large extent is a critical rereading of Conrad’s novella. This article examines how this appropriation of textual and cultural paradigms shapes the dystopian outlook of the novel, while also offering alternatives to the hopelessness that defines its fictional world.
乔卡·莱纳斯·特隆(Joca Reiners Terron)在2019年的电影《流星》(A morte eo meteoro)中饰演的反乌托邦角色与对殖民主义的批判密不可分。但是，虽然小说经常提到美国殖民时期的暴力剥削方式，但在描述殖民主义时，它主要依赖于不同的文学传统——包括哥特小说、冒险小说和科幻小说。与《黑暗之心》的对话在《一颗流星》中占有重要地位，在很大程度上是对康拉德中篇小说的批判性重读。本文探讨了这种对文本和文化范式的挪用如何塑造了小说的反乌托邦前景，同时也为定义其虚构世界的绝望提供了替代方案。

By offering a reading of Aeschylus’s Prometheus Bound, and of the post-Aeschylus tradition of the myth of Prometheus which highlights its revisions as imagined by Karl Marx and Percy Shelley, among others, this paper seeks to explore how to grasp, amid our danger and despair, the prominent poetic and cognitive view of a similar cataclysm from the past, as a lesson to the present. The route to do so encompasses a revisitation of the connections between theatre and democracy in ancient Greece; a consideration of the variations of the themes of knowledge, injustice and tyranny, material civilization and its control and the unbowed personal will to resist oppression, all evoked by the myth of Prometheus; and teasing out the main lineaments of a meaning for the play for an endangered Athenian democracy, as staged around 440 as well as for authors who have recycled its main theme throughout centuries, and finally for us today. It ends by giving pride of place to a Promethean hope, a long hope, arisen from suffering and wedded to cognition, which has crossed centuries and reached our times in urgency. The work is, of course, a provisional statement: a contribution.

Este artigo objetiva inserir Freshwater: A Comedy (1923/1935), único experimento teatral assinado pela escritora inglesa Virginia Woolf, nos debates em torno da cena modernista, mobilizados em leituras críticas de seu amplo projeto literário. É consenso na crítica especializada que a obra de Woolf coaduna o estético e o político e que seus textos modernistas, além de brincadeiras e experimentos performáticos, questionam verdades estanques do pensamento ocidental, especialmente no que se refere a imbricações entre gêneros literários e performances de gênero nas transições críticas entre os termos “avant-garde”, “modernista”, e “pós-modernista” (GOLDMAN, 2004; WHITWORTH, 2010). Contudo, a peça Freshwater não figura como objeto de análise de muitos estudos dedicados à obra de Woolf. Então, este trabalho mostrará que essa comédia da autora em foco pode contribuir para releituras contemporâneas do modernismo, especialmente se lida como uma de suas intervenções vanguardistas, marcadas pelo pós-vitorianismo (ELLIS, 2007) de seu projeto literário.
本文旨在将英国作家弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫(Virginia Woolf)唯一的戏剧实验《淡水:喜剧》(Freshwater: A Comedy, 1923/1935)插入围绕现代主义场景的辩论中，动员对其广泛文学项目的批判性阅读。是评论家一致认为,伍尔夫的作品当成享受的审美和政治的现代主义的东西,除了游戏和表演中,质疑真理的间隔的西方思想,特别是关于性别imbricações文学风格和表演批评之间的转换条款“前卫”、“现代主义”和“后现代主义”(高盛,2004;惠特沃思,2010)。然而，《淡水》并没有成为许多致力于伍尔夫作品的研究的分析对象。因此，这项工作将表明，聚焦作者的这部喜剧可能有助于当代对现代主义的重新解读，特别是如果它被解读为她的前卫干预之一，标志着后维多利亚主义(ELLIS, 2007)的文学项目。

The objective of this article is to investigate Ranald MacDougall’s The World, the Flesh and the Devil (1959) and Stanley Kubrick’s Dr. Strangelove (1964) in their imaginations of disaster and apocalyptic futures. I aim to bring technical and narrative aspects of film in order to identify themes and speculative explorations of nuclear war and post-nuclear survival, emphasising political and social discussions that can be found in both films. Finding their singularities and similarities is part of my focus here, as these productions were made during the height of the nuclear scare of the Cold War in the United States and contain critical – and satirical – approaches to common themes found in apocalyptic/post-apocalyptic fiction of the time, each with their particular shifts.

A partir de uma leitura do romance Salmo para um robô peregrino (2022), de Becky Chambers, o presente trabalho busca refletir sobre a capacidade da ficção científica de criar outras formas de habitar o mundo e como essa literatura pode nos auxiliar a pensar alternativas para vivermos – e morrermos – melhor neste momento marcado por crises. Para desenvolver tal reflexão, o estudo será pautado pela discussão de Donna Haraway (2016) sobre SF e irá explorar as questões de vulnerabilidade de Judith Butler (2019; 2021), de ficção como bolsa de Ursula Le Guin (1989) e a discussão sobre o cuidado, como desenvolvida por Maria Puig de la Bellacasa (2012; 2017), a fim de entender como o gênero da ficção científica pode nos ajudar a permanecer com o problema e nos auxiliar a pensar em maneiras mais harmônicas, inclusivas e cuidadosas de habitar o mundo.
