As estratégias usadas na apresentação de temáticas em interface com o campo da ciência em narrativas de ficção científica

Abstract

This work aims to identify the strategies used by works of science fiction on the process of introducing of thematics that have an interface with science. We argue theoretically the elements for nomenclatures to popular science, relations of the scientific field, and narrative. To reach our goal, we use a qualitative and comparative methodology that allowed us to identify the strategies used in the following works: Story of your life (CHIANG, 2016), Arrival (2016), Contact (2008), and Contact (1997). We found four different strategies: dialogue between characters; the character living the concept; justification of an element of the plot; moving the plot. In this way, we classificate these found strategies, and from them we reflect about the role of publishing and editorial production on this field.
