4. "Science fiction is what we point to when we say it." — Damon Knight. • "Science Fiction is an argument with the universe." - Farah Mendelsohn, in Foundation: The International Review of Science Fiction, issue 88.

5. "Science-fiction ... can be defined as: Imaginative extrapolation oftrue natural phenomena, existing now, or likely to exist in the future."— Hugo Gernsback. • "[Social] science fiction is that branch of literature which is concerned with the impact of scientific advance on human beings." Isaac Asimov, Science Fiction Writers of America Bulletin, 1951

6. "Science fiction is the search for a definition of mankind and his status in the universe which will stand in our advanced but confused state of knowledge (science), and is characteristically cast in the Gothic or post Gothic mode." • Brian W. Aldiss (with David Wingrove), The Trillion Year Spree.

7. "Attempting to define science fiction is an undertaking almost as difficult, though not so popular, as trying to define pornography...

9. Definiciones de CF Como género literario

10. "Science fiction is a prose narrative which describes or depicts some aspect or development which does not exist at the time of writing; one significant subgroup of science fiction additionally includes language which either describes scientific fact or explains or reflects the process of scientific thought." • Gary Westfahl, The Mechanics of Wonder: The Creation of the Idea of Science Fiction

11. "Science fiction is not a unitary genre or form, hence cannot be encompassed in a single defintion. It is an assemblage of genres and subgenres that are not intrinsically closely related, but are generally accepted as an area of publication by a marketplace. Science fiction is thus only a commercial term." • Everett K. Bleiler

12. "I define science fiction as the art of the possible. Fantasy is the art of the impossible. Science fiction, again, is the history of ideas, and they're always ideas that work themselves out and become real and happen in the world. And fantasy comes along and says, 'We're going to break all the laws of physics.' ... Most people don't realize it, but the series of films which have made more money than any other series of films in the history of the universe is the James Bond series. They're all science fiction, too — romantic, adventurous, frivolous, fantastic science fiction!" • Ray Bradbury, quoted in Conversations With Ray Bradbury by Ray Bradbury and Steven L. Aggelis.

13. "Science fiction in general — through its long history in different contexts — can be defined as 'a literary genre whose necessary and sufficient conditions are the presence and interaction of estrangement and cognition, and whose main formal device is an imagnative framework alternative to the author's empirical environment.'" • Darko Suvin.

14. "Science fiction is the branch of literature that deals with the effects of change on people in the real world as it can be projected into the past, the future, or to distant places. It often concerns itself with scientific or technological change, and it usually involves matters whose importance is greater than the individual or the community; often civilization or the race itself is in danger." • James E. Gunn, "Towards A Definition Of Science Fiction" in Speculations On Speculation

15. Samuel Delany • Qué significa el siguiente texto? • Her world exploded

16. Delany y la recepción • De acuerdo con Delany, la misma frase puede ser entendida de forma distinta según el código que emplee el lector • “Her world exploded” • En una lectura realista esta frase es una metáfora mientras que en una lectura de CF es literal.

17. Ciencia ficción y lo fantástico

18. Lo fantástico • La palabra fantástico aparece en casi todas las lenguas y se pueden hallar ejemplos muy antiguos en el canon occidental. • Lo fantástico ya se menciona en la poética de Aristóteles y es sinónimo de imaginación o aparición • En latín y griego significa hacer visible o manifiesto algo. • Fantástico no tiene relación etimológica con fantasía (Nieto 25)

19. – Nieto 28 Phantasticus significa aparición, visión, sueño, imagen, apariencia. Es decir, todos los elementos que contiene el sistema de lo fantástico en estado puro.

20. Algunos críticos clasifican la CF como un género no realista y, por lo tanto, un subgénero de lo fantástico. • Lo que caracteriza a la CF es que la diferencia con el mundo real se establece mediante un enfoque científico y materialista (Roberts 3)

21. El género de la ciencia ficción • Como cualquier otro género literario, es imposible brindar una definición total. • La CF se redefine de acuerdo con su contexto histórico, literario. • Crea nuevos temas y se fusiona con otros géneros.

22. Ciencia ficción Contexto histórico Contexto literario • Refleja nuevos paradigmas científicos • Historia del género Contenido Temático Mecanismos Actitud del lector • Viajes en el tiempo • Futuro • Universo • Extrañamiento cognitivo • Novum (Darko Suvin) • Estrategia de lectura (Delany)
