“…The real human body can then be considered inhuman. In this pursuit of perfection, dystopia can be present at a time when posthuman beings trace back their homesickness to their original bodies (Marques, 2013). The duality of possibility between utopia and dystopia continues to exist in the discussion regarding the potential of technology to perfect human beings.…”

“…Consciousness awakened from the experience of inhabiting a hormonal body may not necessarily recognize a body devoid of hormones. The exploration of body utopia intertwined with dystopia in posthuman literary works, as discussed byMarques (2013), offers an intriguing perspective on how utopian ideals may conceal dystopian realities and vice versa.Another aspect that can be explored in works addressing posthuman themes is the application of a comparative approach to analyzing such themes Chohan (2012). compares The Matrix, a film written and directed by Larry and Andy Wachowski, with William Gibson's Neuromancer.…”

Posthumanism discusses the uncertainty of humankind’s future and the changing perspectives on humanity and life. In the Indonesian context, the issues of posthumans have not been discussed, while the usage of robot and artificial intelligence technologies has been proliferating in the related industry for several years. This article discusses two Indonesian short stories, Andina Dwifatma’s “Linus Damono” (2018) and Erwin Setia’s “Cerita Dua Robot dan Pemuda Penyendiri” (2019). Close reading is used in the data collection and analysis of the two short stories. It reveals that the short stories display non-human subjects' narratives. The two short stories also show non-human subjects that are/ are not humanistic and humans’ (total?) control over non-human subjects. Hence, the two short stories present two contradictory concerns on the projection of the human future: utopia and dystopia. The issues revealed from the short stories are essential to create awareness of the potential benefits and threats of using robotic and artificial intelligence technologies. Furthermore, this article also shows that the two short stories can be used as reading materials to develop critical literacy on posthuman issues.

“…(Ver também TRAHAIR, 1999). 10 Também é encontrado na literatura o termo eutopia, usado para estabelecer utopias positivas, em contraposição às utopias negativas (as distopias), já que literalmente "utopia' poderia significar ambos (MARQUES, 2013). Neste trabalho, o termo utopia é utilizado na sua forma mais conhecida, não se diferenciando essencialmente de eutopia.…”

Este artigo apresenta um panorama das tendências atuais da literatura distópica. Partindo do ranking de vendas do portal Amazon Brasil de 2019, é realizada uma análise geral das 100 obras literárias de ficção distópica mais populares no Brasil. Após uma breve introdução, na segunda parte é feita uma contextualização sobre a origem e os sentidos dos termos utopia e distopia e sobre a relação entre o mundo real e os mundos ficcionais. Na terceira parte é apresentada a metodologia de análise das sinopses dos livros do ranking. Foram coletadas informações externas das obras (como ano, idioma e país de publicação, gênero, nacionalidade e raça do autor) e internas (como espécie, gênero dos antagonistas e protagonistas, e temáticas retratadas nos universos distópicos) para a composição de estatísticas descritivas. Na quarta parte são apresentados os resultados e discutidas 3 obras selecionadas da lista, contendo elementos representativos do imaginário observado: A Fortaleza: Mundo Sombrio (de Day Fernandes, autora brasiliense); Desta Terra Nada Vai Sobrar, A Não Ser o Vento Que Sopra Sobre Ela (do premiado autor Ignácio de Loyola Brandão); e Estilhaça-me (best-seller adolescente da autora Tahereh Mafi). Por fim, são tecidas as considerações finais.
