Resumo: | Throughout his career as a novelist, essayist or literary critic, E. M. Forster always displayed a great discontent with the constant and abrupt changes which took place with the advent of the First Great World War. Nevertheless, we can observe in his first writings, prior to 1914, an ardent defense of certain humanist principles against which the modern world would rise up, and of which the author already seems to have a lucid perception. This is what I intend to evince, with this reading of The Machine Stops (1909), a short story written in 1909 and one of his few incursions into the literary genre of Science fiction and Dystopia. |

M. Forster sempre manifestou um grande descontentamento em relação às constantes e abruptas mudanças ocorridas após o advento da Primeira Grande Guerra. Contudo, podemos observar, em seus primeiros escritos, anteriores a 1914, uma veemente defesa de certos princípios humanistas contra os quais o mundo moderno se insurgirá e dos quais o romancista já parece ter uma lúcida percepção. É o que pretendo evidenciar com a leitura de The Machine Stops (A máquina para), conto escrito em 1909 e uma de suas poucas incursões no gênero literário da ficção científica e da distopia.Universidade Federal Fluminense2013-12-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado pelos paresapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoata/article/view/3293810.22409/gragoata.v18i35.32938Gragoatá; Vol. 18 No. 35 (2013): Contemporary textuality of ruin and resistanceGragoatá; v. 18 n. 35 (2013): Textualidades contemporâneas de ruína e resistência2358-41141413-907310.22409/gragoata.v18i35reponame:Gragoatáinstname:Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)instacron:UFFporhttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoata/article/view/32938/18925Copyright (c) 2019 Gragoatáinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMoraes, Helvio2019-08-23T10:54:32Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/32938Revistahttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoataPUBhttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoata/oai||revistagragoata@gmail.com2358-41141413-9073opendoar:2019-08-23T10:54:32Gragoatá - Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)false |
