Science fiction: źródła i kontynuacje
(Ośrodek Badawczy Facta Ficta, 2018) Frelik, Paweł; Kincaid, Paul; Swanstrom, Lisa; Vint, Sherryl; Maj, Krzysztof M.; Szymczak-Maciejczyk, Barbara; Tokarski, Mateusz; Uniwersytet Warszawski; University of Utah; University of California, Riverside; AGH University of Science and Technology; Pedagogical University of Cracow
A discussion addresses general problems associated with studying science fiction narratives today. What does it take to make a believable illusion of the scientific out of literary fiction? What are the most contemporary views on the genre and its multiple iterations? Is it still a genre? These and many more questions have been tackled below by the leading experts in science fiction studies: Paweł Frelik (University of Warsaw), the most prominent Polish theorist in the field, editor of the „Journal of Gaming and Virtual Worlds”, and author of Visual Cultures of Science Fiction (2017, reviewed in this issue), as well as the first Polish president of Science Fiction Research Association (2013-2014); Paul Kincaid, renowned science fiction critic, author of A Very British Genre: A Short History of British Fantasy and Science Fiction (1995) and What It Is We Do When We Read Science Fiction (2000); Lisa Swanstrom (University of Utah), co-editor of „Science Fiction Studies”, and author of Animal, Vegetable, Digital: Experiments in New Media Aesthetics and Environmental Poetics (2016); Sherryl Vint (University of Alberta), also co-editor of „Science Fiction Studies”, director of Science Fiction and Technoculture Studies at University of California, Riverside, and co-editor of The Routlege Companion to Science Fiction (2009); and, finally, „Creatio Fantastica” editors—Krzysztof M. Maj, Mateusz Tokarski, and Barbara Szymczak-Maciejczyk.

Brzmienie Blade Runnera 2049. O przenikaniu się muzyki i obrazu w filmie science fiction
(Ośrodek Badawczy Facta Ficta, 2018) Brodowska, Julia; Uniwersytet Śląski
The article addresses the subject of coexistence of music and image in a movie with particular emphasis on science fiction aesthetics. It points out the important form-generating role of music in the visions of the future created within this genre. The key issue here is the use of electronic music, considered to be the most adequate for illustrating futuristic worlds. Based on the research of musicologists, the most representative examples of a combination of electronic and avant-garde music with a picture in science fiction cinema are chronologically discussed. The starting point for these considerations is the characteristic universe and ambient sounds of Blade Runner. However, the analysis focuses mainly on the music from the sequel, Blade Runner 2049, in which the style initiated by Vangelis is continued by Hans Zimmer and Benjamin Wallfisch. The main part of the article is a discussion of non-diegetic and diegetic music in Blade Runner 2049. It emphasizes its unique correlation with the visual layer of the film and an its important role in shaping the Bladerunner’s world. This example raises a broader subject of the importance of electronic music for future-oriented science fiction movies.

Między nadzieją a paranoją. O post-człowieku w filmach science fiction (na kilku przykładach)
(Ośrodek Badawczy Facta Ficta, 2018) Gorliński-Kucik, Piotr; Uniwersytet Śląski
In the article, Gorliński-Kucik describes the determinants of science fiction conventions which aim at investigatiing the future of man and civilization. In doing so, the author reflects on movies released in recent years (2013–2019), which, in his opinion, best exemplify the problem in question, i.e. the construal of transhumanism. Analysed films include: Her (2013), Under the Skin (2013), Lucy (2014), Transcendence (2014), Chappie (2015), Arrival (2016), Blade Runner 2049 (2017), Ghost in the Shell (2017), Alita: Battle Angel (2019), and Netflix animated anthology Love, Death & Robots (2019). Gorliński-Kucik concludes that vast majority of interpreted movies addressess the post-human and predicts its appearance in the near future―without, however, fully escaping the eponymoys dichotomy of hope and paranoia.
