Resumo: | The aim of this article is to analyze the concept of evolution present in the dystopian novel The Superhumans, published in 1929 and written by the French individualist anarchist Han Ryner. The novel presents a hybridized theory of evolution, which mixes neo-Lamarckian, catastrophic and leap theory elements with evolutionary conceptions of a mystical and prophetic nature, such as those proposed by Michel Savigny, in addition to dialoguing with the ethical conceptions, characteristic of individualist anarchism. The main characters in the narrative, that is, the Superelephants, the Superangels and the Immortals are, simultaneously, the result of the evolutionary process and the desire for ascension of beings. In the context of strengthening the interwar authoritarian thinking, the criticisms of the Superelephants’ desire for domination and the lyrical defense of Han Ryner’s individualist anarchist principles, such as pacifism and antimilitarism, in the Superangels’ chants, are highlighted. |

O romance apresenta uma teoria da evolução hibridizada, a qual mistura elementos neolamarckistas, catastrofistas e da teoria dos saltos, com concepções evolucionárias de cunho místico e profético, como aquelas propostas por Michel Savigny, além de dialogar com as concepções éticas características do anarquismo individualista. Os principais personagens da obra, ou seja, os Superelefantes, os Superanjos e os Imortais são, simultaneamente, resultado do processo evolutivo e do desejo de ascensão dos seres. Ressaltam-se, no contexto de fortalecimento do pensamento autoritário do entreguerras, as críticas ao desejo de dominação dos Superelefantes e a lírica defesa dos princípios anarquistas individualistas de Han Ryner, como o pacifismo e o antimilitarismo, nos cânticos dos Superanjos.Programa de Pós-Graduação em História da Universidade de Brasília (PPGHIS/UnB)2024-03-21info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/hh/article/view/4091410.26512/rhh.v10i19.40914History, histories; Vol. 10 No. 20 (2022): Revista História, Histórias; 72-93história, histórias; Vol. 10 Núm. 20 (2022): Revista História, Histórias; 72-93Histoire, histoires; Vol. 10 No. 20 (2022): Revista História, Histórias; 72-93Storia, storie; V. 10 N. 20 (2022): Revista História, Histórias; 72-93História, histórias; v. 10 n. 20 (2022): Revista História, Histórias; 72-932318-172910.26512/rhh.v10i20reponame:História, Históriasinstname:Universidade de Brasília (UnB)instacron:UNBporhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/hh/article/view/40914/39830Copyright (c) 2023 História, históriashttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessQueluz, Gilson Leandro2024-03-29T14:35:47Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/40914Revistahttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/hhPUBhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/hh/oaihistoriahistorias1@gmail.com||editorchefe.tempo@gmail.com||portaldeperiodicos@bce.unb.br2318-17292318-1729opendoar:2024-03-29T14:35:47História, Histórias - Universidade de Brasília (UnB)false |
