Analysis Of The "Husky" Series From The Perspective Of The Sociology Of Science Fiction

A work of fiction is a world of possibilities.Science fiction,especially social science fiction,without any exception,serves as a metaphor for the real world,building an imaginary universe for us.The series "Husky",the unique trilogy of science fiction(social)by the Spanish writer Rosa Montero(1951-),encompasses deep criticisms of society and humanity.This paper chooses the first two books of the series:Lagrimas en la lluvia(2011)and El peso del corazon(2015)as objects of investigation and analyzes them from the perspective of the sociology of science fiction.The foreign studies concerned usually start from perspectives such as posthumanism,feminism and the question of identity,etc.However,there has been no article of criticism or work that addresses the series in our country,nor has it been translated into Chinese.The work aims to use the method of internal study of the sociology of science fiction:the dialogue between the text and society,in order to unmask what lies beneath the superficial layers of writing.The origin and development of literary criticism of science fiction sociology and its important branch will be presented first:internal study.According to Stableford's point of view,there are adhesions between the text of science fiction and sociological theories.Based on this,the paper will be developed in four parts:In the first one,the posthuman space will be presented:the Earth and two artificial satellites:Labari and Cosmos.On the Earth,the appearance of the cyborg has challenged the purity of the human being.In Labari,the disciplined female body constitutes the expression of power while the technological alienation in Cosmos facilitates the totalitarianism.In the second part,the functioning of the power mechanism will be explained.On the Earth,human beings discriminate against the replicants;in Labari,the panopticon is used to monitor citizens,which coincides with the model that Foucault proposed when clearing the means of self-discipline.In Cosmos,the totalitarianism is based on a unified ideology.In the third part,the phenomenon of ubiquitous alienation will be analyzed,which manifests itself in three levels:the ecological,the technological and the spiritual.In the fourth,the reason for selecting a detective replicant as protagonist will be elucidated:first of all,the androgynous identity implies the author's attempt to overcome the conventional binary structure of the genre;in addition,the point of view of a replicant breaks the stereotype of the reader,applying defamiliarization as a resource;Finally,as a private detective,they give her opportunities to access all aspects of society and unfold wider aspects of it.In the end,we came to the conclusion that the two books in question cover a large number of social problems in the real world.Applying an internal approach to science fiction sociology,that is,resorting to the dialogue between literature and sociology,allows us to discover better its real value,at the same time,it would awaken the critical consciousness of today's society numbness in material abundance and advanced technology.
