  • El Primer Viaje a China En Una Máquina Del Tiempo. Luces Y Sombras En El Anacronópete De Enrique Gaspar Y Rimbau Rachid Lamarti Tamkang University
    ISSN: 2519-1268 Issue 8 (Spring 2019), pp. 1-27 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.6667/interface.8.2019.68 El primer viaje a China en una máquina del tiempo. Luces y sombras en El anacronópete de Enrique Gaspar y Rimbau rachid lamarti Tamkang University Abstracto Nadie discute a Herbert George Wells (1866-1946) como uno de los precursores de la moderna literatura de ciencia ficción. Su celebérrima La máquina del tiempo, además, le otorgó en 1895 el blasón de inventor literario de la máquina del tiempo. Sin embargo, contra la opinión general, la patente de esa invención no pertenece (al menos en exclusiva) a H. G. Wells. En 1887, es decir, ocho años antes de La máquina del tiempo, se publicó en Barcelona El anacronópete de Enrique Gaspar y Rimbau (1842-1902). Este artículo se centra en dos de las anticipaciones de El anacronópete: la pionera fabulación de una máquina de retroceder en el tiempo y el primer viaje a China a bordo de una máquina así. También analiza las causas por las que El anacronópete no ganó altura, así como la nula visión de futuro de Enrique Gaspar: ¿por qué a las puertas de hacer historia recogió el paso y volvió a la fila? Palabras clave: El anacronópete, Enrique Gaspar y Rimbau, ciencia ficción, viaje en el tiempo, máquina del tiempo, primer viaje a China en una máquina del tiempo. © Rachid Lamarti Este trabajo está licenciado bajo una licencia Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommer- cial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License. http://interface.ntu.edu.tw/ 1 ISSN: 2519-1268 Issue 8 (Spring 2019), pp.

  • De La Zarzuela a La Ciencia Ficción: El Anacronópete, De Enrique Gaspar
    Studia Romanica Posnaniensia 45/2 (2018): 51-63 DOI: 10.14746/strop.2018.452.004 Adam Mickiewicz University Press ISSN 0137-2475, eISSN 2084-4158 Received: 30.09.2017 / Accepted: 14.02.2018 De la zarzuela a la ciencia ficción: El anacronópete , de Enrique Gaspar. Expansión de los límites de lo fantástico en la coyuntura del nacionalismo From Zarzuela to Science Fiction: Enrique Gaspar’s El anacronópete . An Expansion of the Limits of the Fantastic through Conjunction with Nationalism Maximiliano Brina Universidad de Buenos Aires [email protected] Abstract This article addresses Enrique Gaspar’s novel El anacronópete (1887) by means of the articulation of the fantastic genre and nationalism. The nineteenth century witnessed a powerful scientific and techno- logical development, which introduced economic, political and social changes. This can be traced in literature, especially in the second half of the century: for example, in the antagonistic positions between Emilio Ferrari and Gaspar Núñez de Arce in the field of poetry, or novels by Benito Pérez Galdós as Doña Perfecta (1876), in which the tension between the countryside and the city is compared to that existing between tradition and modernity. In this context, the value of Gaspar's novel surpasses the anecdote of presenting the first time machine in literature, eight years before Wells’s. Its value lies in the way in which, starting from the articulation of scientific and literary discourse, it expands the limits of the fantastic while using the procedure to address the question of national identity. The action takes place during the International Exhibition in Paris in 1878.

EL ANACHRONÓPETE 7 CHAPTER I In which it is shown that moving FORWARD is not the hallmark of progress ARÍS—focus of gaiety, center of activity, the very core of hustle and bustle—presented that day a singular appearance. It wasn’t the orderly parade of Parisians and foreigners heading to the Champ de Mars, some to satisfy common curiosity, others to make a technical study of the 8 ENRIQUE GASPAR progress of science and industry. More than anything, their appearances reflected a cheerfulness, like the gentry of old Lutecia on their annual procession to take in the Grand Prix de Paris horse race, butchering English and flaunting their fine suits and dresses with trains, each of which by itself was the equal of the prize purse and which altogether could retire the national debt of some countries.

This course challenges the assumption of a realism-driven literary production in Spain by proposing a look at one of the neglected faces of peninsular cultural modernity, the output of different forms of science-fiction (hard SF, prospective fiction, microcosmic romances, pulps, utopias and dystopias) during the economical and socio-political modernization in the last decades of the 19th century up to the outbreak of the civil war. Class discussions include a theoretical approach to SF genre and its evolution, historical and socio-political contextualization, and readings from both well- known and little-known authors such as Nilo María Fabra, Clarín, Miguel de Unamuno, Luis Araquistáin, Azorín, José Lion-Depetre and David Arias.

"Global Time Travel" delivers an appealing package of books and stories, including, for example, Mary Griffith's Three Hundred Years Hence (1836), the first time travel book by an American, written as an intervention in the debates over slavery and womens' rights; Enrique Gaspar's El Anacronópete (1886), the first time-machine story, presented as a comical romp through Spanish history; and Twelve Monkeys (1995), a film whose depiction of biological catastrophe stages our worst fears about the fate of humanity in the Anthropocene. We will be reading these and other works both as free-standing aesthetic objects and as expressions of social and cultural assumptions and concerns. Students will explore time-travel fiction in various languages and discuss it analytically and critically, with special attention to the problem of translation, whether from the archival to the visual or from one language into another. Summarily put, "Global Time Travel" aims to help students think about how fiction makes sense (or fails to make sense) of history and their place in it.
