G ENERICITY AND COGNITION: LIMITS IN A RGENTINIAN SCIENCE FICTION CRITICISM

The following work will focus on the reconstruction of certain commonplaces of literary criticism about Argentinian science fiction in recent years. Specifically, the exhaustion of the cognitive impulse and, because of this crisis of genericity. These two hypotheses, that are turned into a kind of theory of Latin American science fiction because of the effect of a critical habit, deserve to be confronted with the state of anticipatory literature written in Argentina nowadays. For this purpose, we propose a meta-critical study that organizes the most outstanding readings about the generic problem with the purpose of establishing a controversy.
