Esta obra que tienen en sus manos es una demostración más de la fascinación que la obra de Oesterheld despierta todavía en mentes curiosas cuyos pasaportes no coinciden necesariamente con los nuestros. ¿Hay forma de explicar esa fascinación? No enteramente. Vuelvo a apelar al ejemplo de este libro, cuyos artículos exploran la obra de Oesterheld des...
The evolution of science fiction (SF) in Latin America has been affected concurrently by Northern genre norms and local literary and cultural realities, leading to the development of science fictions unique to the region. Modern genre SF was not imported wholesale to Latin America from the North, nor was it created in a vacuum. So how did the genre...

(Portuguese translation of 2008 journal article “Back to the Future; with minor revisions and a new Afterword.)
Latin America saved the world and didn't many times over in texts written in the 1950s, the incubation period for genre sf in the region.

This article examines the exponential growth of the field of Latin American science fiction in recent years, first through an evaluation of a series of critical/historical studies of the genre, and then by tracing the textual histories of a number of the region's earliest works of sf. The contemporary interest in identifying, retrolabeling, and rep...
