Bogotá zombie, se levantan los muertos el 9 de Abril y Zugar Zombie son dos obras que reescriben una parte de la historia de la violencia en Colombia en clave de ucronía incluyendo la temática zombi. La primera plantea un contexto alternativo al asesinato del líder político Jorge Eliécer Gaitán, ocurrido en 1948; la segunda evidencia las fatídicas consecuencias de la corrupción política. La metáfora de los muertos vivientes expone la profunda crisis latinoamericana y las desigualdades sociales que se acentúan por motivos políticos o por diferencias de clases. El uso de zombis abre la posibilidad de un tono irónico que estructura la crítica aguda en los dos casos. Para comprender la relevancia de estas manifestaciones artísticas será necesario revisar el género fantástico y de ciencia ficción en Latinoamérica, así como las obras que cuentan con un panorama donde se advierte la presencia constante de zombis con su amenaza horrorosa y a la vez satírica. Bogota zombie, the dead rise on April 9 and Zugar Zombie are two works that rewrite in uchrony a part of the history of violence in Colombia. Both include a zombie theme to narrate the assasination of political leader Jorge Eliécer Gaitán in 1948 and the fateful consequences of political corruption, respectively. The metaphor of the living dead exposes the deep Latin-American crisis and social inequalities that are emphasized by political reasons or due to class differences. To fully understand the relevance of these artistic manifestations, it will be necessary to review both the fantastic and science fiction genre in Latin America, as well as the works that have a full picture where the constant presence of zombies with their horrific and satirical threat is noted.

- Abstract
This paper consists of the translation analysis of a fictional world built within a story pertaining to the field of graphic narratives. Specifically, the transfer between English and Spanish of conceptual, narrative, and linguistic components that enable readers to evoke the uchronic universe presented in Watchmen by Moore, Gibbons and Higgins (published in 1985) will be studied. In this article, theoretical concepts such as “fictional world”, “functionalism”, and “translation problem” will be explored and a practical observation of a selection of translation problems (detected after an integral analysis of this graphic novel) will be carried out to determine the functionality of the proposed options regarding the display of this hypothetical context in the target culture., El presente trabajo consiste en el análisis traductológico de un mundo ficticio construido en una historia procedente del campo de la narrativa gráfica. De manera específica, se estudiará el trasvase entre la lengua inglesa y la española de los componentes conceptuales, narrativos y lingüísticos que permiten evocar el universo ucrónico presentado en la obra Watchmen de Moore, Gibbons y Higgins (publicada en 1985). En el artículo se explorarán conceptos teóricos como “mundo ficticio”, “funcionalismo” y “problema de traducción” y se realizará una observación práctica de una selección de problemas de traducción (detectados tras un vaciado integral de esta novela gráfica) para determinar la funcionalidad de las opciones propuestas en lo referente a la visualización de este contexto hipotético en la cultura de destino.

Diffusée à partir de 2019, la série For All Mankind (AppleTV+) met en scène un monde uchronique dans lequel les Soviétiques ont posé le premier homme sur la Lune, relançant la Course à l’Espace avec les Américains. Dans cette histoire alternative, des femmes astronautes et cosmonautes prennent une grande place dans l’établissement d’une présence humaine permanente sur la Lune dès les années 1970. Comme production culturelle, For All Mankind présente un double intérêt. En tant que produit phare lancé avec la plate-forme AppleTV+, ses audiences témoignent d’une adéquation aux attentes du public qui repose sur une trame épique faisant place aux acteurs subalternes de l’histoire réelle. Le sous-texte entre ainsi en résonance avec des enjeux contemporains, montrés à travers une réalité alternative plus inclusive envers les subalternes et davantage avancée dans la transition écologique. En tant qu’œuvre de science-fiction mêlant l’uchronie et la hard SF, elle propose un exercice d’histoire contrefactuelle reposant sur des choix alternatifs et des évènements imprévus. Elle montre ainsi comment l’histoire des technosciences peut être comprise à partir des contingences, des représentations et des arbitrages. The 2019 returning series For All Mankind presents a alternate world in which the Soviets beat the Americans by sending the first man on the moon, which gave way to a prolonged Space Race effort. In this alternate timeline, female astronauts and cosmonauts play an instrumental role in establishing a permanent presence on the Moon as early as the 1970s. As a cultural production, For All Mankind presents a double interest. Produced and streamed by the newly launched AppleTV+, its success shows its consistence with audiences’ expectations of epic arcs featuring characters usually considered subaltern. The series’ subtext resonates with contemporary issues related to social and environmental justice by presenting an alternate Space Conquest narrative which stands out as much more inclusive than the current one. Being a science-fiction content rooted in between the uchronic and hard SF subgenres, it also offers a credible exercise of counterfactual history founded on alternative choices and unpredictable events. As such, it gives a pertinent look of the importance of contingencies, representations and choices in the history of sciences and technology.

7. Beatitud, Iván Vasilievich y La isla púrpura: el teatro de Mijail Bulgakov como ucronía, viaje en el tiempo y metateatralidad

González Almarcha, Patricia and González Almarcha, Patricia
- Abstract
Mikhail Bulgakov’s dramatic work allows us to discover in this canonical figure in universal literature an unexpected theatrical career sheltered in the shadow of his novel. In this article I focus, to begin with, on two closely related pamphleteering plays, since one is a continuation of the other, not only from a thematic point of view, but also from a constructive point of view: Ivan Vasilievich and Beatitude. Then I tackle a third farce, The Purple Island, due to its particular theme, focused on the essay process of a theatrical company. All three can be ascribed to the genre that Lionel Abel [2003] defines as tragedy or comedy of reflexivity, that is, to metatheatre, but also to uchrony, a term coined by Charles Renouvier [Alkon: 1987], where a slight correction of the events assumed as historical allows a rewriting of the story of those events and a rethinking of History as a discipline of fiction. In a time of political harassment, of limitation of expressive freedoms by the Soviet regime, Bulgakov draws attention to his work as a construction or elaboration, but also as a theatrical game conceived to be represented. It uses the uchrony, alternative and counterfactual history as a retrospective or prospective projection of satirical criticism and by avoiding censorship. In short, with this type of analysis the aim is to break with the stagnant notion of gender, be it dramatic, literary, or fictional, and reconstruct part of the minor production of the playwright from a more unknown perspective, La obra dramática de Mijail Bulgakov permite descubrir en esta figura canónica de la literatura universal una insospechada trayectoria teatral cobijada a la sombra de su novelística. En este artículo me centro, para empezar, en dos obras teatrales panfletarias íntimamente relacionadas, puesto que una es continuación de la otra, no solo desde el punto de vista temático, sino incluso constructivo:Ivan Vasilievich1 y Beatitud. Después abordo una tercera farsa, La isla púrpura, por su particular temática, focalizada en el proceso ensayístico de una compañía teatral. Las tres pueden adscribirse al género que Lionel Abel [2003] define como tragedia o comedia de la reflexividad, es decir, al metateatro, pero también a la ucronía, un término acuñado por Charles Renouvier [Alkon: 1987], donde una ligera corrección de los eventos asumidos como históricos permite una reescritura del relato de esos hechos y un replanteamiento de la Historia como disciplina de ficción. En una época de acoso político, de limitación de las libertades expresivas por el régimen soviético, Bulgakov llama la atención sobre su obra como construcción o elaboración, pero también como un juego teatral concebido para ser representado. Se vale de la ucronía, historia alternativa y contrafactual como proyección retrospectiva o prospectiva de la crítica satírica y por evitación de la censura. En suma, con este tipo de análisis se aspira a romper con la noción estanca de género, sea dramático literario, sea ficcional, y reconstruir parte de la producción menor del dramaturgo desde una perspectiva más desconocida.

KUNEŠOVÁ, KVĚTA
- Abstract
The article deals with problems of time and space in Yves Berger’s novel Le monde après la pluie (The World after the Rain), the theme of which is an apocalyptic vision of the destructed world after an unspecified catastrophe. The result of the disaster is destroying the space and stopping the movement of the Earth, it means of the human time. A group of last men try to save themselves escaping the biblical scene of destruction where they met. Searching for undestroyed part of the world all of them die before reaching it, except the protagonist, the main witness of the events. He himself is killed, however, at the end of the novel, in the moment of reestablishment of the World order, by a tribe of Neolithic people. The History of mankind is to be restarted. The novel features sciencefiction scenery with several motives of space and time, muted and degenerated, own to dystopias. The absence of the Earth movement causes the cessation of human time inspiring a reflection on history of human race. More than science fiction the novel seems to be a symbolic vision of the History and the future of humanity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Tese de Doutoramento em Sociologia, Relações de Trabalho, Desigualdades Sociais e Sindicalismo, apresentada à Faculdade de Economia da Universidade de Coimbra Luego de un proceso constituyente ampliamente participativo, Ecuador en el 2008 aprueba una nueva Constitución de la República en donde establece como prioridad social el ‘Buen Vivir o Sumak Kawsay’. La tesis plantea que las teorías del bienestar del mainstream resultan insuficientes para trasladar a la práctica esta aspiración social, por lo que se propone la necesidad de establecer un marco epistémico específico para el constructo social trazado en el país andino. Así, se plantea la socioecología política de la vida buena como plataforma teórica-conceptual, metodológica y empírica pertinente para examinar, pensar y disputar la realización del buen vivir en Ecuador. Para tal efecto, y partiendo de una crítica que expone las limitaciones de emplear el dinero como evaluador del bienestar, la investigación defiende utilizar como unidad de análisis la métrica del ‘tiempo para la buena vida’. La investigación demuestra cómo este tiempo bien vivido se caracteriza por la generación y disfrute de bienes relacionales, concepto que permite abordar la distribución del tiempo centrando la mirada en: el tiempo de la existencia/vida; el tiempo dedicado a la vida buena; la concentración o desigualdad del tiempo bien vivido; la geografía y el tiempo del tiempo bien vivido; la estructuración macro del tiempo para la vida buena; la temporalidad de la Pachamama (buen vivir de la naturaleza); y el impacto del tiempo en la satisfacción con la vida. Mediante análisis estadístico y econométrico de encuestas de uso del tiempo en Ecuador realizadas en el 2007 (76.922 casos) y 2012 (83.533 casos), así como de registros administrativos, se desprenden como principales conclusiones que: 1. la satisfacción con la vida depende de la distribución del tiempo; 2. el sumak kawsay está en función del grado de concentración social y espacial del tiempo bien vivido; 3. la usurpación de la buena vida está ligada al racismo, patriarcalismo y a las relaciones capital-trabajo como condiciones estructurales y estructurantes de relaciones de poder; 4. el tiempo bien vivido no debe ser evaluado exclusivamente por la longevidad, sino por los bienes relacionales generados en ese período temporal; 5. el bienestar monetario puede convivir con altos niveles de “mal vivir” temporal; 6. las decisiones macroestructurales también afectan las decisiones individuales; y, 7. el sumak kawsay social no puede deslindarse de una vida armónica con la Pachamama (naturaleza). La reflexión planteada para el caso ecuatoriano permite problematizar un debate de mayor envergadura: el orden y sentido que le damos al tiempo es el orden y sentido que otorgamos a nuestras vidas y a nuestra era. Y si en el futuro aspiramos a un nuevo modo de organización social más justa y democrática, este no será viable sin construir una nueva configuración temporal. Sobre este punto, el aporte de esta investigación no radica en el pasado relatado o en su disputa interpretativa sino en la recuperación de la historicidad del tiempo bien vivido. Esta podría ayudar a generar un marco analítico para producir otras ucronías que recobren no al tiempo como dinero (aceleración para la acumulación crematística) sino al tiempo como vida buena. After a long and broadly participative constituent process, in 2008, Ecuador approved a new political Constitution where Buen Vivir or Sumak Kawsay was established as a social priority. The thesis contends that mainstream theories of well-being are insufficient to translate this social endeavor into practice, thus the need to establish a specific epistemic framework for the concept of Buen Vivir outlined in the Andean country. This paper proposes the political socioecology of life as a theoretical, methodological, and empirical framework to examine, interpret, and dispute the realization of Buen Vivir in Ecuador. For this purpose, based on a critique that exposes the limitations of using money as an evaluator of well-being, the research applies the metric “time for a good life” as the unit of analysis. The measurement of time “well lived” has the advantage of being an ambivalent indicator; it is both empirical-factual and prescriptive-desiderative: it accounts for a fact and reveals a desire. The research shows how time well lived is characterized by the production and enjoyment of relational goods, a concept that allows us to address time distribution focusing on the time of existence / life; the time dedicated to the good life; the concentration or inequality of time well lived; geography and the time of time well-lived; the macro structuring of time for good life; the temporality of the Pachamama (nature’s sumak kawsay); and the impact of time on satisfaction with life. Through statistical and econometric analysis of time-use surveys conducted in Ecuador in 2007 (76,922 cases) and in 2012 (83,533 cases), as well as of administrative records, we conclude that: 1) life satisfaction depends on the distribution of time; 2) good living is a function of the degree of social and spatial concentration of time well lived; 3) the usurpation of good life is linked to racism, patriarchy and capital-labor relations as structural and structuring conditions of power relations; 4) time well lived should not be evaluated exclusively by durability, but by the relational goods produced during that time; 5) monetary well-being can coexist with high levels of temporary "bad living"; 6) macro-structural decisions affect individual decisions; and 7) social good living is contingent on a harmonious life with the Pachamama. The analysis proposed for the Ecuadorian case allows us to address a debate of greater importance: the relevance and meaning we give to time is that which we give to our lives and our era. Consequently, if we aspire to a more just and democratic form of social organization, then we must ensure a different distribution of time. The contribution of this investigation is not the narrated past or the dispute over its interpretation but rather the restoration of the historicity of time well lived, which can help to generate an analytical framework to produce uchronies that reclaim time, not as money (acceleration for accumulation) but as good life.

Linguistics ,possible ,homogeneity ,espace ,free-will ,temps ,virtual ,history ,heterogeneity ,matière ,Humanities ,continuité - Abstract
À l’instar d’Humpty Dumpty, le personnage de Lewis Carroll qui fête son non-anniversaire 364 jours par an, Bergson semble inscrire la discontinuité de l’événement dans la continuité de la durée. Il invite son lecteur à concevoir la nouveauté comme la trame du réel. Rien ne se répète jamais à l’identique, chaque événement est singulier et s’inscrit dans un temps irréversible. Pourtant, l’intelligence ne perçoit pas toujours cette « création continue d’imprévisible nouveauté » car elle immobilise et spatialise le réel en le rendant homogène. Mais dès lors que l’esprit retrouve le caractère temporel de la réalité, le présent apparaît comme toujours inédit. Vu sous cet angle, la définition bergsonienne de l’événement semble donner au banal les caractéristiques de l’exceptionnel. Les non-anniversaires possèderaient la même consistance ontologique que les anniversaires sans pour autant disparaître dans l’homogénéité de la répétition quotidienne. L’événement serait à la fois une aspérité surgissant dans le flux de la durée et en même temps l’expression de la plus pure continuité. Pour résoudre cette apparente contradiction il faut alors se demander : comment Bergson réussit-il à concilier la nouveauté de l’événement avec la continuité de la durée ? Pour répondre à cette question, nous montrerons comment Bergson introduit des différences qualitatives au sein de la continuité du devenir. Ces différences s’expriment à travers plusieurs niveaux de réalité que l’article étudie successivement. Nous partons de la métaphysique bergsonienne de la durée, capable de donner à l’événement un contenu réel et pas seulement représentatif. Grâce à l’épaisseur du devenir, l’événement se relie à la continuité spirituelle de la durée tout en conservant son caractère inédit et imprévisible. Son hétérogénéité le distingue de la pure discontinuité du fiat lux et de l’homogénéité mécaniste. La causalité des événements se révèle différente du simple mécanisme. Dans la seconde partie de l’article nous tirons les conséquences de cette métaphysique pour les appliquer à l’événement étudié sous l’angle de l’histoire. Partant d’un réexamen des apories du possible, nous examinons la valeur de l’uchronie pour ensuite décrire la manière dont Bergson théorise la connaissance historique et l’action des grands hommes. Just like Humpty Dumpty, the character of Lewis Carroll who celebrates his non-birthday 364 days a year, Bergson seems to inscribe discontinuity of event in the continuity of duration. He invites his reader to conceive novelty as the frame of reality. Nothing is repeated identically. Each event is singular and takes place in an irreversible time. However, intelligence does not always perceive this "continuous creation of unpredictable novelty" because it petrifies and spatialises reality by making it homogeneous. But as soon as spirit rediscovers the temporal character of reality, present appears as always unprecedented. Seen from this angle, the Bergsonian definition of event seems to attribute to what appears as banal, the characteristics of what is exceptional. Non-birthdays would possess the same ontological consistency as birthdays without disappearing in the homogeneity of daily repetition. Event would be both an asperity arising in the flow of duration and, at the same time, expression of purest continuity. To solve this apparent contradiction we must ask: How does Bergson succeed in reconciling the novelty of event with the continuity of duration? To answer this question, we will show how Bergson introduces qualitative differences within the continuum of becoming. These differences are expressed through several levels of reality, which the article successively studies. We start from the Bergsonian metaphysics of duration, capable of giving event a real content, not merely mental. Thanks to the thickness of becoming, event connects with spiritual continuity of duration while retaining its unprecedented and unpredictable character. Its heterogeneity distinguishes it from pure discontinuity of the fiat lux and from mechanistic homogeneity. The causality of events is different from the simple mechanism. In the second part of the article we draw consequences of this metaphysics and apply them to event studied from the angle of history. Starting from a reexamination of aporias of possible, we examine the value of uchrony and then describe the way Bergson theorizes historical knowledge and action of great men.

Le Cycle de Kraven de Xavier Mauméjean met en place un réseau référentiel qui repose sur le recyclage systématique d’éléments historiques et littéraires. Afin de bien saisir le fonctionnement de ce cycle narratif, il importe de se pencher sur cette dynamique référentielle exacerbée relevant d’une poétique du recyclage (au sens de réutilisation) qui se manifeste par l’emprunt de nombreux référents historiques et littéraires, que le récit modifie à divers degrés. Au moyen de la notion de recyclage, des travaux sur la récupération de l’Histoire par l’uchronie et d’études sur le steampunk, esthétique dont relève le Cycle de Kraven, ce mémoire examine les effets de ce recyclage sur le fonctionnement du récit, mais aussi sur le lecteur. En effet, par un imposant mélange de références authentiques et fictives, le Cycle de Kraven cherche à mystifier le lecteur qui se trouve au centre d’un fourmillement intertextuel brouillant les frontières entre Histoire et fiction. Une réflexion sur le paratexte vient compléter l’analyse du Cycle de Kraven, puisque préface, notes en bas de page, liste de livres et bon de commande contribuent grandement à la création d’un effet de mystification., Cycle de Kraven, from French author Xavier Mauméjean, establishes a referential network based on a systematic recycling of historical and literary elements. In order to fully understand how this narrative cycle works, one needs to look into these exacerbated referential dynamics which depends on a poetics of recycling. This manifests itself through the borrowing of multiple historical and literary referents, modified at various levels throughout the story. Through the notion of recycling, works on the recovery of history through uchrony and studies on the steampunk genre – being Kraven's primary aesthetic – this dissertation looks into the effects this recycling has on the story's working, as well as on the reader himself. Indeed, through its impressive blending of genuine and fictional references, Cycle de Kraven bemuses the reader who finds himself or herself exploring a intertextual universe where history and fiction may hardly be differed from one another. A study on the paratext concludes this analysis of Cycle de Kraven since elements such as the preface, the footnotes and the purchase order form contribute to the befuddlement of readers.

Cet article montre comment le super-héros peut se développer aujourd’hui dans des récits uchroniques qui, par le détournement fictionnel d’événements politiques et historiques, en dénoncent les dérives. À cette fin, on soulignera les spécificités de ces œuvres, leur manière de se dissocier du réel tout en étant intrinsèquement métafictionnelles, en relation étroite avec des événements historiques marquants. On verra alors comment le super-héros constitue une satire de la politique américaine, une figure dont la bienfaisance est détournée au service de la dénonciation d’un aspect des États-Unis qu’il est censé incarner. The aim of this article is to show how the typical super-hero nowadays is likely to evolve in uchronical narratives – those real stories having been altered into fiction so as to disapprove of their drifts. To do so, the article focuses on what is specific to such works, the way they dissociate themselves from the real while remaining intrinsically meta-fictitious, closely related to remarkable historical issues. Hence the super-hero is likely to evolve into a satirical criticism of American politics, a figure whose beneficent character is being misappropriated to the benefit of denouncing an aspect of America he is supposed to embody. Este artículo muestra como el super-héroe pude desarrollarse hoy en relatos ucrónicos que por medio del desvío ficcional de los eventos políticos e históricos, se denuncian esos mismos desvíos. Con este fin, se señalan las especificidades de esas obras, su manera de disociarse de lo real permaneciendo intrínsecamente metaficcional, en estrecha relación con los eventos históricos marcantes. Veremos de ese modo como los super-héroes constituyen una satira de la política americana, una figura en la que lo benéfico es desviado al servicio de la denuncia de un aspecto de los Estados Unidos que él supone encarnar.
