Naučna fantastika između ovde-i-sada i tamo-i-tada

Abstract

The paper examines the status of SF literature as a marginal genre, both in terms of temporal reference and axiology. Relying on Darko Suvin’s hypothesis which states that the supposed future as genre’s temporal position is merely a scientistic alibi for SF, we shall attempt to analyze the nature of maximal contact zone between science fiction and incomplete reality. Accordingly, particular attention will be paid to the issue of SF’s evolutive potential and that of literature in general.
