Resumo: A critical analysis of a single episode of the X-Files TV series broadcast in 1998, aimed at revealing, in a Media Culture object, the characteristics and nuances of technological thinking and of the utopian projection of reality through representations of space and time sublimation technologies, and of the fantasy of overcoming the human condition. The TV series, which is based on encounters and mysteries involving technology and the supernatural and shows FBI investigators confronting their assumptions about reality, is well founded upon two premises: the superiority of the human hero and the inventiveness and power of the unknown to haunt human existence with phantasmagoria arising from more than four centuries of technological fantasies and nightmares.

A série, que se baseia em encontros e mistérios envolvendo tecnologia e o sobrenatural, mostra investigadores que confrontam suas presunções sobre a realidade e se equilibra sobre duas premissas: a da superioridade do herói humano e da inventividade e poder que o desconhecido tem em assombrar a própria existência humana com fantasmagorias oriundas de mais de quatro séculos de fantasias e pesadelos tecnológicos.PEPG COS-PUC-SP2010-12-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/galaxia/article/view/3167Galaxia; No. 20 (2010)GALÁxIA.
