Também a M. Elizabeth “Libby” Ginway, pela constante e enriquecedora interlocução sobre este assunto esotérico, a ficção científica brasileira — e a Walter Martins (1932-2009) um agradecimento póstumo pela leitura atenta da introdução. A Bruce Sterling pela bibliografia básica do Movimento Cyberpunk e por ter dirimido algo da minha insegurança quanto ao conceito do tupinipunk. E ainda, por diversos empréstimos, conselhos e apoio emocional ao logo do processo de pesquisa: Carlos Alberto Angelo, Cláudio Paixão Anastácio de Paula, Finisia Fideli, Braulio Tavares, Ícaro França, Silvio Alexandre, Rudy Ceccon, Ramiro Giroldo, Sylvio Monteiro Deutsch e Cláudio Moreira, Nelson de Oliveira, e Diana Brydon, da University of Manitoba — pela ajuda com questões de sincretismo e hibridismo. Resumo O objetivo deste estudo é fornecer uma análise dos dois principais movimentos dentro da ficção científica em língua inglesa vinculados ao pós-modernismo, a New Wave da década de 1960 e o Movimento Cyberpunk da década de 1980, estabelecendo comparações com a produção de ficção científica do mesmo período, dentro das Primeira e Segunda Ondas da Ficção Científica Brasileira. Questões de política literária serão sempre evocadas, como maneira de relativizar o peso teórico das discussões, tentando estabelecer que intenções, procedimentos e programas literários existem inseridos em contextos pessoais, sociais e mesmo nacionais. Essa abordagem é amparada pelo conceito do Campo de Poder, do sociólogo francês Pierre Bourdieu (1930-2002), e de diversos intérpretes de suas idéias. A partir dos trabalhos de críticos e teóricos como Clive Bloom, Scott McCracken, Ken Gelder, Michel de Certeau e Robert Scholes, este trabalho propõe que a ficção científica, como gênero literário de raízes populares, é capaz de exercer o papel de uma literatura que faz a crítica da modernidade, sem recorrer necessariamente aos aspectos formais associados à literatura pós-modernista, incluindo o texto fragmentário, a mistura de gêneros e códigos literários. A pesquisa conduz a uma reflexão a respeito da situação da ficção de gênero vis-à-vis a predileção da ficção pós-modernista pela metaficção e pelo experimentalismo. Palavras-chave: Ficção Científica; Cyberpunk; Ficção de Gênero; Literatura Popular; Metaficção; Pós-Modernismo; Pulp; Vanguarda. Abstact The objective of this study is to provide an analysis of the two main literary movements in English-written science fiction associated to postmodernism, the New Wave of the 1960s and the Cyberpunk Movement of the 1980s, establishing comparisons with science fictional production of the same periods in the First and Second Waves of Brazilian science fiction. Issues of literary politics will be constantly considered, as a way to relativize the theoretical charge of the arguments, trying to establish that intentions, proceedings, and literary programs exist inserted in personal, social, and even national contexts. This approach is supported by the French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu’s concept of Field of Power, and also by a number of readers of his ideas. Taking from the works of critics and theoreticians such as Clive Bloom, Scott McCracken, Ken Gelder, Michel de Certeau, and Robert Scholes, this work claims that science fiction as a literary genre of popular roots can play out the role of a literature that performs a criticism of modernity without relying on those formal aspects associated with postmodernist literature, including fragmentary prose and the mixing of genres and literary codes. The research leads to a reflection concerning the situation of genre fiction vis-à-vis postmodernist fiction’s propensity for metafiction and experimentalism. Key-words: Science Fiction; Cyberpunk; Genre Fiction; Popular Literature; Metafiction; Postmodernism; Pulp; Avant-garde.

CONCLUSÃO: ALÉM DO “BINARISMO MANIQUEÍSTA” 275 REFERÊNCIAS 302 INTRODUÇÃO “SABEDORIA PRIMAVERIL” NA CIDADE MARAVILHOSA Em 1972, o pesquisador David Lincoln Dunbar aportou no Brasil vindo da University of Arizona, para, a partir de uma recomendação do acadêmico e tradutor Leo L. Barrow, estudar a nossa ficção científica. Sua dissertação, “Unique Motifs in Brazilian Science Fiction”,1 foi a primeira da sua espécie, no mundo — o primeiro estudo acadêmico sobre FC brasileira. “Fui desafiado pelo Dr. Leo Barrow a descobrir o que causou essa década de FC, que classe de literatura era ela, e a analisá-la”, Dunbar escreveu na introdução da tese. “Com isso em mente, viajei ao Brasil em 1972 para obter o máximo de literatura de FC do que estivesse disponível, e para entrevistar o maior número possível de escritores, críticos e editores.”2 A década de que ele fala é a década de 1960, de modo que ele estudou a “Primeira Onda da Ficção Científica Brasileira”3 (1958-1972), também chamada de “Geração 4 GRD”, uma instância da FC brasileira que, no momento da vinda de Dunbar, recuava para uma posição secundária em relação àquela que viria a predominar na década de 1970: um ciclo de utopias e distopias políticas e ecológicas preocupadas com a denúncia do regime militar (1964-1985), da tecnocracia e das conseqüências desumanizadoras da modernização do país.5 Sua missão pegou os autores brasileiros de surpresa: que um acadêmico americano se interessasse pela insipiente FC brasileira devia soar espantoso e inverossímil.6 1 Defendida em 1976 naquela instituição, no seu Department of Romance Language. 2 Dunbar, David Lincoln. “Unique Motifs in Brazilian Science Fiction”.

    22 TIGHTBEAM Those multiple points of connection—and favorites—indicate the show’s position of preference in popular culture, and Tennant said he’s consistently surprised by how Doctor Who fandom and awareness has spread internationally—despite its British beginnings. “Doctor Who is part of the cultural furniture in the UK,” he said. “It’s something that’s uniquely British, that Britain is proud of, and that the British are fascinated by.” Now, when Tennant is recognized in public, he can determine how much a fan of the show the person is based on what they say to him. “If someone says, ‘Allons-y!’ chances are they’re a fan,” he said. Most people say something like, “Where’s your Tardis?” or “Aren’t you going to fix that with your sonic screwdriver?” There might be one thing that all fans can agree on. Perhaps—as Tennant quipped—Doctor Who Day, Nov. 23 (which marks the airing of the first episode, “An Unearthly Child”) should be a national holiday. Regardless of what nation—or planet—you call home.

  • Norton Conducted by Paul Walker Andre Norton: Yes, I Will Agree to the Interview, but I Must in All Fairness Warn You That I Do Not Live a Very Exciting Life
    No. 40 September 1972 An Interview With Andre Norton Conducted by Paul Walker Andre Norton: Yes, I will agree to the interview, but I must in all fairness warn you that I do not live a very exciting life. In fact, I live a rather dull one—so if you are expecting fireworks, you will be disappointed. Also, I am not of the ‘new wave’ writers, but rather a very staid teller of old fashioned stories with firm plots and morals. So be warned and consider . "A very staid teller of old fashioned stories with firm plots and morals.” Why do you prefer this kind of story? Is it the kind of story you prefer to read? And if so, who are your favorite writers? Yes, I prefer reading the type of story I write—that is, a tightly plotted action story. The ‘new wave’ fiction, with sprawling action and the anti-hero, is certainly NOT to my taste. And I see no reason for piling in sex scenes—much more can be accomplished by putting the reader’s imagination to work—under-stating rather than over-stating. That, to me, is the better course in writing. In sf, my favorite writers are Poul Anderson, Eric Frank Russell, James Schmitz, Ursula Le Guin, and Hal Clement. Their books I re-read—along with H. Beam Piper, from whom, alas, we shall have no more good tales. To me these people, their stories, appeal—they absorb my imagination. I can identify with their main characters. In fantasy, my favorites are Tolkien, de Camp, David Mason, Fritz Leiber—again, master story tellers.
