Resumen
[ES]Hay varios estudios sobre la idea de utopía en la historia, la filosofía y la literatura. Sin embargo, no se ha investigado tanto acerca de su correlato negativo. La distoía es "el doppelgänger de la utopía del siglo XX" (Gordin et al., 2010:1). Este ensayo analiza la deconstrucción de opuestos tradicionales a través de la Distopología. Esta teoría literaria multifocal analiza distópicamente otros géneros. Además, este proyecto proporcionará una revisión distopolóica de obras literarias para comprender las distopías puras de la era de la decepción social, como génesis de una nueva literatura, y nuevo modo de ver la realidad, a través de comocs, cine y otras artes. El nuevo milenio afianzó los miedos de la trilogía distópica -Huxley, Orwell y Bradbury. Así pues, cuando la distopía se hace realidad, sólo queda una solución: el apocalipsis. Siguiendo ideas anarquistas, nuestros contemporáneos ven la destrucción social como único modo de que la humanidad vuelva a renacer.
[EN]Many studies have investigated the notion of utopia in history, philosophy and literature. However, little attention has been devoted to its negative counterpart. Dystopia is the “utopia’s twentieth-century doppelgänger” (Gordin et al., 2010:1). This essay claims the deconstruction of traditional opposites by using Dystopology. This multifocal literary theory expands the dystopian analysis to other genres. Additionally, this paper will provide a dystopological overview of literature to better understand the pure dystopias of the era of social deception, conceiving not only the genesis of a new literature, but also another way of perceiving reality, through comics, cinema and other arts. The new millennium secured the fears of the dystopian trilogy ‒Huxley, Orwell and Bradbury. Therefore, when dystopia turns into reality, the only solution for contemporary authors is apocalypse. Following anarchic ideals, the coming generations see the destruction of society as the only opportunity for humanity to be reborn again.
