Resumo: This paper aims to discuss the way the philosophical currents of transhumanism and posthumanism re-signify the human component in contemporary dystopias. In this sense, we aim to compare the trilogies Divergent and The Fifth Wave, two narratives that are symptoms of the current Western political and social moment, but distinct in their philosophical imputations about the epistemological ideals of transhumanism and posthumanism. As such, this article is based on the works of Hayles (1999), Wolfe (2009), More e Vitta-More (2013) and Marks de Marques (2014). This work is justified to contribute with the studies about dystopia, which have stood out in recent decades and have made available new tools for dealing with the genre and the society in which it is originated.

Neste sentido, buscar-se-á cotejar as trilogias Divergente e A quinta onda, duas narrativas relativas ao momento atual, porém distintas quanto as suas imputações filosóficas. Para tal, este trabalho utiliza-se das contribuições de Hayles (1999), Cary Wolfe (2009), More e Vitta-More (2010) e Marks de Marques (2014). Este estudo justifica-se por contribuir com os estudos acerca do gênero distopia, os quais têm se destacado nas últimas décadas e têm tornado disponíveis novas ferramentas para melhor entender o gênero e as sociedades das quais ele provém. UFSC2017-06-05info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/article/view/2175-8026.2017v70n2p11910.5007/2175-8026.2017v70n2p119Ilha do Desterro A Journal of English Language, Literatures in English and Cultural Studies; Vol. 70 No. 2 (2017): Pós-Humanismo; 119-127Ilha do Desterro A Journal of English Language, Literatures in English and Cultural Studies; v. 70 n. 2 (2017): Pós-Humanismo; 119-1272175-80260101-4846reponame:Ilha do Desterroinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/article/view/2175-8026.2017v70n2p119/34267Copyright (c) 2017 Eduardo Marks de Marques, Ânderson Martins Pereirainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMarks de Marques, EduardoMartins Pereira, Ânderson2019-01-25T09:18:27Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/47677Revistahttp://www.periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterroPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/oaiilha@cce.ufsc.br||corseuil@cce.ufsc.br||ilhadodesterro@gmail.com2175-80260101-4846opendoar:2019-01-25T09:18:27Ilha do Desterro - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false
