Barceló’s works warn us about the dangers of not working together as a species.

What is it about?

SF has proven to be the perfect genre to unmask the conventions and arbitrariness of ideas, stereotypes and preconceptions about the privileged subject of the Enlightenment humanism and its emphasis on human supremacy and progress. The aim of this work is to explore some of Elia Barceló´s works in light of the works of Rossi Braidotti, Nisbet, Butler, Haraway, Hayles, hooks, MacKinnon, Lorber, Spivak, Althousser, Hegel, Deleuze y Guattari. The result is a redefinition of some normative concepts whilst a warning about the possible dangers that could come out of progress if we don´t work together as a species.
