Il cielo sopra Night City: il cyberpunk tra immaginario narrativo e critica sociale = The Sky Above Night City: Cyberpunk Between Narrative Imagination and Social Critique
No full textThis essay explores cyberpunk not only as a literary and media genre but also as a critical tool for interpreting social, political, and technological transformations from the late twentieth century onwards. Originally emerging as a literary movement, cyberpunk has gradually taken on a broader cultural and political dimension, shaping an imaginary that intertwines body, technology, identity, and power. Recurring themes such as human-machine hybridization, brain-computer interaction, artificial intelligence, and corporeal transformation - as developed by authors like Gibson and Sterling, as well as in Asian media works like Ghost in the Shell - reveal a deep rethinking of subjectivity and interpersonal relations. In Italy, cyberpunk found significant resonance through editorial projects which linked it to countercultural practices. This diffusion helped foster a national production that, while heterogeneous, drew inspiration from the genre's aesthetic and thematic codes. Today, cyberpunk is firmly established in audiovisual and video game media, exemplified by the Cyberpunk 2077 franchise, and functions as a recognizable category across digital content platforms. Beyond its narrative dimension, cyberpunk offers a critical lens through which to explore the tensions between technological innovation, social control, and individual agency, affirming itself as a genre that remains relevant and insightful in analyzing the dynamics of the present
El ciberpunk mexicano en dos ficciones breves: creación y cuerpo más allá de lo humano = Mexican Cyberpunk in Two Short Fictions: Creation and the Body Beyond the Human
No full textThe aim of this work is to show a particular vision of science fiction as a hyperbolic fictional text about an extratextual universe, and with this basis reflect on the way in which two short fictions, the cyberpunk tales "Para Skim" (1997) and "Conversaciones con Yoni Rei" (1998) by Mexican Pepe Rojo, addresses two issues related to the transcendence of the human in Mexican science fiction: the creation, as a practice resulting from an artificial intelligence, and the transformation of the body as an explicit negation of the prefixed idea of the human. The nuclei of meaning of these stories reflect in extremis on the way in which we relate to reality from the media, and point to different approaches to the body and its violation. The proposal of Rojo, developed from the neoliberal Mexican reality of the 90's, can be recovered as a questioning of current daily life by questioning aspects such as virtuality, the use of artificial intelligence and hyperconnectivity
