A Study of “Transfictions”
La science-fiction
La science-fiction propose des récits où les aventures des personnages dessinent, sous une forme réaliste, des mondes imaginaires. Ceux-ci, dérivés d’hypothèses ou d’inventions, s’accordent avec une conception du monde où sciences et techniques jouent un rôle déterminant. Les romans de science-fiction prennent pour point de départ le monde actuel ou une phase de son histoire. Ils en extrapolent les lignes narratives, permettant alors une interrog…

L’Invention de Morel. Robinson, les choses et les simulacres
L'Invention de Morel, roman de l'écrivain argentin Alfonso Bioy Casares, a été écrit en 1940. Il met en scène une variante de ce que propose la robin-sonnade, à savoir la rencontre d'un homme et d'une île déserte. À ceci près que l'île n'est pas vraiment déserte, elle est peuplée de spectres singuliers, produits par une machine à illusions. Le narrateur, après bien des déboires, après des peurs devant les apparitions de ces Vendredis virtuels, va…
The Surrealistic Science Fiction of Serge Brussolo
The sf works of French author Serge Brussolo have been, since the early 1980s, hugely popular in France. Although still untranslated into English, Brussolo’s 50+ sf novels and anthologies present a unique approach to the genre. By infusing into classical sf topoi wildly hallucinatory imagery and dreamscape encounters of all sorts, Brussolo offers the reader an alternative experience to the traditional sf novum. Much like J.G. Ballard, Brussolo us…
Moreau’s Tragi-Farcical Island
The Island of Doctor Moreau, though it can be thought of as allegorical in that it is clearly intended to “reflect upon” the human scene, is not the sort of allegory which is reducible to a univocal interpretation. Just as the work is indebted to the likes of Robinson Crusoe, Gulliver’s Travels (especially), Frankenstein, and Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, so it is susceptible to a wide variety of readings, more or less correlative to the diversity of ge…

Intercultural Interplay
The time is long past when the history of a nation’s SF was viewed merely as an extension of its local folklore. And the contemporary study of SF as a world literature would seem to call for a more detailed analysis of how the American model—which carried the genre to its current level of maturity—affected both the historical evolution of SF as a whole and that of certain national literatures. Such an investigation requires a look at the prehisto…
Kepler's Somnium; or, Science Fiction's Missing Link
The search for the origins of a literary genre is an endless exploration. The sources of SF can be traced, in relation to the imaginary voyage, to Homer and Lucian and, for utopian fiction, to Plato and Thomas More. But both imaginary voyages and utopias remain either pure fantasy or non-narrative conceptual games. With Kepler's Somnium, a new speculative format was inaugurated: he demonstrated the consequences of an astronomical theory, complete…
Dick in France
Critics usually contrast Dick’s warm reception in France with the lack of recognition he supposedly had in the Anglo-American world. This statement, if generally true, must be qualified. On the one hand, his reception in the US was comparable to that of an author like Ray Bradbury, say. And the evidence suggesting that Dick’s books were readily accepted for publication there by the same token indicates that he was never at a loss for readers. On …
