EVOLUȚIA ROMANULUI SCIENCE-FICTION. PERSPECTIVE CRITICE ȘI TEORETICE
THE EVOLUTION OF THE SCIENCE FICTION NOVEL. CRITICAL AND THEORETICAL PERSPECTIVES

Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to map the evolution of the science fiction novel and to highlight its main defining coordinates. SF literature has a difficult path, being placed most of the time in a marginal area of literature. I considered essential in the first phase a clear delimitation of science fiction literature from fantasy, confusions generated by a very prominent similarity ratio. The literary-science relationship, the recurring themes, the building of the literary topos and the careful construction of the characters are just some of the particularizing tools with which the authors of SF texts operate, which we have highlighted in the work. The literary references, as well as the critical ones, are not only related to the Romanian space, constantly appealing to important names outside it. Science fiction literature currently enjoys a much warmer reception, both from the reading public and from literary criticism.
