Análisis crítico de la subjetividad moderna en la obra de Stanislaw Lem

Abstract

This article examines the critique of anthropocentrism and the notion of modern subjectivity, within the science fiction literature, proposed by Stanislaw Lem. To this end, it establishes a dialogue between this literary genre and the contemporary philosophy, in particular with the approaches of the Frankfurt School and its theoretical deployment, when beginning with the critical theory until reaching the notion of supermodernity. Consequently, it is located the aesthetic bet of Stanislaw Lem and the communicating vessels with the critical theory posed by the first generation of this philosophical school, and their respective influences in a new understanding of the subject. It is taken as reference the narrative work fables of robots, with the aim of supporting how the science fiction literature becomes the expression of a new subjectivity, in the face of the crisis of sense faced by man within the technological civilization. Thus, it is argued as this literature, exhibited by the Polish author, is a horizon of meaning that unfolds in different possible worlds, so that the subject can agency his evolution and inhabit his reality poetically.
