Resumo: This paper aims to analyze the creation of a fictional future in two science fiction works: The Word for World is Forest, by Ursula K. Le Guin, and Binti, by Nnedi Okorafor. In order to emphasize the referential aspect of both works, which exists despite the discrepancy between the real world and the fictional one, we associate Walter Benjamin's approach to historiography, starting with the concept of dialectical image, with the writing in the two aforementioned science fiction texts. To do so, we contrast Benjamin's theory of time with Saint Augustine's threefold present, as well as the latter's comments on predicting the future. Hereinafter, Le Guin's and Adam Robert's views on how science fiction portrays the future will also be of utmost importance to our analysis.

Le Guin, e Binti, de Nnedi Okorafor. A fim de ressaltar o caráter referencial das obras, que existe independentemente da discrepância entre mundo real e mundo ficcional, pretende-se aproximar historiografia benjaminiana, a partir da noção de imagem dialética, da escrita das obras de Ficção Científica. Para isso, contrastaremos a noção de tempo em Walter Benjamin à ideia de um tríplice presente, de Agostinho, assim como seus comentários sobre a predição do futuro. A discussão sobre o futuro em obras de Ficção Científica feita por Le Guin e por Adam Roberts também se farão necessárias.Universidade Federal de Santa Maria2023-09-15info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado pelos paresapplication/pdfhttp://periodicos.ufsm.br/LA/article/view/7044710.5902/1679849X70447Literatura e Autoritarismo; n. 41 (2023): Literatura e Autoritarismo: Sobre a violência na história1679-849X1679-849Xreponame:Literatura e Autoritarismoinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM)instacron:UFSMporhttp://periodicos.ufsm.br/LA/article/view/70447/61842Copyright (c) 2023 Literatura e Autoritarismoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessNobre, Jade Rocha2023-09-29T22:44:43Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/70447Revistahttps://periodicos.ufsm.br/LA/indexPUBhttp://cascavel.ufsm.br/revistas/ojs-2.2.2/index.php/LA/oaigla@mail.ufsm.br||jlourique@pq.cnpq.br1679-849X1679-849Xopendoar:2023-09-29T22:44:43Literatura e Autoritarismo - Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM)false
