Abstract:
Science fiction is a genre of art that caters to the popular taste of the people. It presents a world mixed with science and fictional elements. It can be taken as a microcosm of fictional literature. It uses to present unfamiliar and unknown things in a familiar and known way. It provides its diverse themes and issues not only in texts but also in films. When science fiction is adapted into movies, it is able to attract a large number of audiences specially the young generation of writers. Science fictional films cover the issues like future society, challenges created by scientific developments, human enhancement through science and technology, human-machine clash, hybrid identity, world of aliens, and Artificial Intelligences. There are many films in western countries covering the issue of science fiction. Production houses designed the films in such a way that it can make an appeal to the audience. Even in India, there are several science fiction films. From 1952 to the present, Indian cinema contributes a lot by producing one after another attracting films on the theme of science fiction. The present paper is going to analyze two films Koi...Mill Gaya and its sequel Krish 3 from the perspectives of science fiction. The paper will also try to present the history of science fiction films in India and in the West. It attempts to depict the science fictional elements and new techniques shown in the films. These films are the representations of future society which accepts the inhabitation of different beings like modified human, superhuman and aliens.

Resumo: Esta revisão sistemática da literatura teve como objetivo identificar a forma que os filmes de ficção científica (FC) abordam questões do ensino das Ciências e o enfoque Ciência, Tecnologia e Sociedade (CTS). A pesquisa utilizou bancos de dados com os seguintes descritores: “Ensino de Ciências, CTS, Ficção Científica e Cinema”. Os resultados evidenciaram que desde a década de 1980, os filmes de FC são utilizados como recurso metodológico no ensino de Ciências, mas ainda são escassos os estudos que relacionam o CTS com os filmes de FC. Nas quatro pesquisas encontradas, entre 2012 e 2019, a articulação dos três componentes da tríade CTS, raramente ocorre de forma coerente com os referenciais, prevalecendo o realce na ciência, ou em tecnologia e, majoritariamente, na sociedade, sobrelevando as questões socioambientais.Palavras-chave: Ensino de Ciências; Enfoque CTS; Arte e Ciência; Cinema; Filmes de Ficção Científica. The use of scientific fiction films for teaching sciences with a focus on science, technology and society: a systematic review of literatureAbstract: This systematic review of the literature aimed to identify the way that science fiction films (SF) address issues of science teaching and the focus on Science, Technology and Society (STS). The research used databases with the following descriptors: “Science Teaching, STS, Science Fiction and Cinema”. The results showed that, since the 1980s, SF films have been used as a methodological resource in science teaching, but there are still few studies relating STS to SF films. In the four researches found, between 2012 and 2019, the articulation of the three components of the STS triad, rarely occurs in a coherent manner with the references, with emphasis on science or technology and, mainly, on society, prevailing, raising socioenvironmental issues.Keywords: Science teaching; Focus on STS; Art and Science; Movie theater; Science fiction

Abstract:
The movie theatre may seem like an odd place for politics, but almost all movies could be considered “political.” Even stranger is the notion that those spacemen, monsters and aliens we are so accustomed to seeing in science fiction films may be more than just entertaining us, they may be conveying a political message. In fact, most science fiction films make deeply political statements about the society from which they emerge.Science fiction films provide a unique opportunity for movie makers to comment on the implications of both human and “non-human” behavior. Through science fiction, one can look ahead to the way the world “might” look if the right wing, left wing, scientific rationalists, corporations, etc., take over and create their own “Brave New World.” It is an opportunity to play out the implications of various political philosophies for all to see and evaluate.

Abstract:
The subject of the research is the methods and techniques of addressing the future in dystopian and utopian films. The object of research is visual effects and ways of displaying the future, which allow us to convey to the viewer the meaning of the narrative. In the process of research, special attention is paid to the possibilities of science fiction films that create another world with the help of special effects, emphasizing many themes and hidden ideas, while depicting a fairy tale. Special emphasis is placed on the fact that modern technologies, the possibilities of creating visual effects have changed the film industry, as a result of which it has strengthened the genre convergence of utopian and dystopian film products, as a result of which it has become possible to create plausible worlds so that science fiction films are perceived in a more immersive way. The main conclusions of the study are the conclusion that the modern tradition of visualizing science fiction films embraces and interweaves dystopias and utopias within the framework of one work, as a result of which the narratives are doubly fictional: they create a utopian or dystopian place as a backdrop for history, and at the same time the place itself becomes history. The author's special contribution lies in the fact that in the process of research, visual techniques of representing the future in cinematic fiction are highlighted, which invariably contain cultural meanings. The scientific novelty of the research is to identify and analyze the most typical techniques of reproducing the future in science fiction films using visual effects, which include brutalist architecture, creating an image of the future city.

Abstract:
Cinema has been advancing continuously since its formation and intertwined with many disciplines. Technology also acts as a bridge between these disciplines, especially between science fiction cinema and architecture, the place of technology is undeniable. In this study, the change of fictional space designs over time with the effect of technology is discussed and how these developments affect cinema and fictional space designs are examined as "Dune 1984" and "Dune 2021" produced from the same novel from science fiction cinema. The interior spaces and structures in these films were determined and the subjects to be discussed were selected and turned into tables. A literature search of the subject was made, then the films were watched first, lastly interpreted by the interpreter according to the method of the research. The aim of the study is to be a source for studies on the relationship between science fiction and fictional spaces and the change of this relationship in the environment of technology.

Abstract:
The article reflects on how characters with the features of the mythological Cassandra function in science fiction films. Such references are part of the rich tradition of building fictional depictions of the near or distant future on the foundation of mythical stories. The study aimed to examine the considerable and complex meaning which Cassandra conveys through the ages and to determine its usefulness in constructing pop culture ideas about the current condition of humanity. In contemporary fiction, Cassandra is brought to the fore more often than in ancient sources, and her fullest portrait is drawn in those films that both consider her a figure of the powerlessness of the prophets and take into account her personal drama. In Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) by James Cameron, 12 Monkeys (1995) by Terry Gilliam, Minority Report (2002) by Steven Spielberg, and Arrival (2016) by Denis Villeneuve, the figure of Cassandra is examined through her prophetic gift, the alleged madness of the seer and the fearfulness of the prophetism itself.

Abstract:
As a form of art combining audio and visual, movie sound effect is an important element in building the story world of the movie. When sound films first appeared, they were recognized and welcomed by the public, and it is extremely important to use sound effects in narrative films so that the audience can have a better connection with the fictional world. As one of the popular cinema genres, science fiction movies were loved by the audience when they first appeared, attracting the audience's attention with brilliant special effects, but the role played by sound effects in them should not be neglected. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the role of sound effects in science fiction films, and will use Avatar, Inception, The Prestige and Gravity, the four films, respectively, to explain the three functions that sound effects have. They are to enhance the realism of the movie, to help complete the temporal construction of the movie and to express the inner world of the characters.

Abstract : Time is a hard-to-define concept in its most fundamental aspects. Different from space, to which it is commonly associated, time cannot be physically grasped, although we do try to measure it. What does not stop it from being simply ubiquitous, since we cannot escape or ignore it. The representation of time in fiction reflects its own social period. Having this in mind, this research understands that time has assumed different meanings in distinct contexts, since it reveals itself as a product of its historical times. Within this, the objective of this dissertation is to investigate time in times of change, understanding how the transitions and intersections of the Modern, Post-Modern and yet without a proper name Post-Postmodern periods affect the concept of time in film production, specifically in science fiction films. This dissertation analyzes science fiction films, since they seem to present a more conflicting and marked tendency in relation to time. Metropolis marks the modernist period with its notion of linear and futuristic time, strongly attached to an idea of industrial capitalism, in which the rhythm of the production conditions the workers. Blade Runner and Twelve Monkeys present a post-modern nostalgic vision of the future with a fragmented time, constructed through the character?s search of a past and identity. Lastly, Source Code and Interstellar seem to join a notion of digital cinema and time, proposing a more flexible temporality. In this last idea, space and time also influence one?s existence, that changes his/her ontology and starts existing in other realities and dimensions.

Tempo é um conceito difícil em seus aspectos mais fundamentais. Diferente do conceito de espaço, ao qual ele é comumente associado, o tempo não pode ser fisicamente apanhado, apesar de tentarmos medi-lo. O que não impede que ele seja simplesmente ubíquo, pois não podemos escapar dele ou ignorá-lo. A representação do tempo em ficção reflete seu tempo social. Com isso em mente, essa pesquisa entende que o tempo tem assumido significados diferentes em contextos distintos, uma vez que se revela como um produto de seu tempo histórico. Em vista disso, o objetivo principal dessa tese é investigar o tempo em tempos de mudança, ao entender como as transições e intersecções dos períodos Moderno, Pós-moderno e o ainda sem nome definitivo Pós-Pósmoderno afetam o conceito de tempo na produção fílmica, especificamente em filmes de ficção científica. Essa dissertação analisa filmes de ficção científica, uma vez que eles parecem apresentar uma tendência mais conflituosa e marcante em relação ao tempo. Metropolis marca o período modernista com sua noção de tempo linear e futurista, fortemente atrelado a uma ideia de capitalismo industrial, em que o ritmo da produção condiciona os trabalhadores. Blade Runner e Twelve Monkeys apresentam uma visão pós-moderna nostálgica do futuro com um tempo fragmentado construído pela busca de passado e identidade dos personagens. Por último, Source Code e Interstellar parecem unir a noção de cinema digital e de tempo, ao propor uma temporalidade mais flexível. Nesta última ideia, espaço e tempo também influenciam na existência do ser, que muda sua ontologia e passa a existir em outras realidades e dimensões.

Abstract:
Science fiction films may be viewed as existing as threads within a web, and at the same time constituting the web. The metaphor is apt: texts and contexts and their relationship have a difficult accommodation with each other, an interdependent and dynamic relationship. The text is a thread in the web, as are elements of context, yet the threads are in a symbiotic and constantly changing relationship with each other, as the web is constantly in a state of renewal and change. At the same time, the text itself is a web, as are the various contexts. The threads are both ephemeral and fleeting, while incredibly strong. This thesis is about the polysemy of science fiction film: its subject is the films of the fifties that belong to the genre of science fiction. But the area of study began as an investigation of the science in science fiction films; the way in which films construct that science, the end result of that construction and the totality of the discourse of science in relation to other discourses of power and influence. The investigation of those issues involves a multi-layered investigation into science fiction, in a similar way to Tulloch and Alvarado's approach to the Dr Who television series.1 Approaching science fiction films from a perspective of genre, as in chapter one, uncovers a set of arguments about the science in science fiction, as well as establishing the global nature of some science fiction. These concerns lead into the discussion in chapter two of the social and historical context of the fifties, specifically in the US. Science plays a major role in these contexts, in the sense of the importance of science in creating these contexts (from this perspective) as well as the effects of the application of this science. But the historical and cultural contexts tend to suggest that science fiction films are in large part both a response to the social and historical context, and also create that context. This would not be quite accurate: the production of many science fiction films mobilise other arguments, arguments relating to the industry of Hollywood, and the specific industrial context that gave rise to some very financially successful science fiction films, as well as some films where the budget was good for a few days filming. Science and technology are sometimes important elements in this industrial context as well. Part II traces the nature of science in these films, using the contexts in Part I to anchor the science and its implications and effects. Foregrounded is the debate in which science is both key player and, in many cases, antagonist. The debate is traced and the various representations of science and its nature are tracked and highlighted. Science can cause change, by virtue of its nature of uncovering superstition, but the worth or desirability of that change is open to question. The control of science is a related issue. The thesis examines science at a period that saw the efflorescence of science fiction films. The examination of those films tells us a great deal about the concerns of the time, as well as the science that figures so powerfully in the webs of culture of the fifties.

Abstract:
Americans obtain a majority of their information about science through science films, primarily in the form of documentaries on television. However, despite the recent proliferation of these films, there is much discussion in the science filmmaking community about how ineffective these films have been lately at informing the public about science and compelling viewers to act. It is time to look at the underlying definitions of the genre from a different perspective and determine whether the current standards are the best way to successfully convey messages about science to the widest audience. To explore the possibilities for increasing the effectiveness of science filmmaking, one needs to look at the basic assumptions that come into play during the process of producing science films by re-framing the major components of the science film: goals, subject matter, audience, and format. This new set of paradigms reveals the possibility of another avenue - fiction.

Full text
Abstract:
Posthuman representations in selected Hollywood and Hong Kong science fiction films show new interconnections in “techno-globalization.” They also exhibit a waning relationship between the “center” and the “margin” of technoculture. This study discusses the relation of technology, humanity, affect, and aesthetics in selective science fiction films produced from 1984 to 2010. The science fiction features were made in the United States and in Hong Kong. They include: The Terminator (1984), Terminator2 (1991), Terminator Salvation (2009), A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2002), I Love Maria (1988), Kung Fu Cyborg (2009) and Future X-Cops (2010). In particular, Kung Fu Cyborg merges the popular genre conventions of martial arts and technoculture, and manifests a different imagination at work wherein Hong Kong’s martial arts cinema stands in the place of a scientific-based Western technoculture absent in Hong Kong science fiction films. This study presents several key critical frames elaborated by scholars of science fiction who have assessed the recurrent themes and figures of science fiction films. The discussion of films identifies the resemblances, the differences, and the competitive dynamic between American science fiction films and Hong Kong action features. The absence of utopian or dystopian figures in posthuman filmic representations in Hong Kong cinema is considered an important difference from Western science fiction films. This thesis examines the figure of the cyborg and argues for the important place of emotions and the power to emote and hope as having a complex relationship to technology, humans and humanness. The compassionate cyborg has temporal and moral dimensions relating to belief and religion in this important genre. Thus, this thesis examines the backdrop for science fiction affect, which is one of oppression and crisis that speaks to the conditions of capitalism and modernity. The affective cyborgs make an important figure in the science fiction films that concern the crisis conditions, the appeal of technology, and the conventions of science fiction genre in commercial cinema.

Cette these cherche a determiner les modes d'articulation des concepts d'eloignement et de cognition dans un corpus de six films americains communement decrits comme appartenant au genre de la science-fiction, des points de vue syntaxique, semantique et pragmatique. La cognition represente le contenu de la fiction, et plus precisement la connaissance proposee par le biais d'une experience de la pensee s'inspirant de la methode scientifique, experience fictionnelle qui constitue egalement une reflexion critique sur le referent implicite du monde fictif, soit le contexte social et historique de la genese du texte. Quant a l'eloignement, c'est le parametre formel du genre, qui se manifeste d'abord sur un plan macro-discursif : la sciencefiction propose des mondes eloignes, c'est-a-dire differents du monde du lecteur ; le plan micro-duscursif concerne les effets de defamiliarisation crees par diverses figures de style
This thesis attempts to determine how the twin concepts of cognition and estrangement are articulated in a group of six american films commonly described as belonging to the sciencefiction genre, from syntactic, semantic and pragmatic points of view. Cognition represents the fiction's content, specifically the knowledge offered by a thought experiment inspired by the scientific method, which also constitutes a critical comment on the implied referent, the social and historical context of the fiction's origin. Estrangement is the genre's formal parameter, which first manifests itself on a macro-discursive level : science-fiction creates estranged worlds, that is to say, different from the reader's world ; the micro-discursive level concerns the defamiliarization created by various stylistic figures

Abstract:
The feature film Aquaman (2018, directed by James Wan) is the most commercially successful superhero movie belonging to the DC Extended Universe. Produced by DC Films and Warner Bros. Pictures, the motion picture portrays a rebellious superhero with an extraordinary physical presence. The paper aims to reflect on the movie Aquaman and its ability to function as a late modern fairy tale. Aquaman’s genre structure includes elements of fantasy, science-fiction and action film. However, the authors work with the assumption that the story is, in its nature, a fairy tale involving late modern means of expression. The first part of the text is largely theoretical, outlining the movie’s importance and defining the genre of a fairy tale in the context of late modern culture. Following the given line of thought, the second part of the paper presents a narrative analysis of the film in question, which is based on Propp’s morphology of fairy tales.

Abstract:
This paper presents the bases of a documentary about the conversion of the business sector and the performing arts in the North of Portugal, during the pandemic. The documentary intends to prove that the introduction of innovative procedures can be important to all sectors involved in society. Liquid reality (Bauman, 2005) demands constant exploration; therefore, it challenges designers to create sustainable products. Knowing that spectacle is about human connection, a process disconnected from visual culture can contribute to the public ignoring the participation of design as an area of knowledge. Between 2021 and 2022 a territorial network system was developed consisting of researchers, a lighting company, a raw materials industry, a municipality, company, a theatre, entertainment companies and a school of music of the North of Portugal. It was possible to develop systemic lighting products at the prototype level, bearing new semantic paths, performance, and interaction with people. The prototypes were developed by a lighting company. In theatre, the prototypes were joined by musicians to interpret pieces by Debussy and Dvořák. This group was joined by an actor who declaimed Mallarmé and Longfellow. The result was recorded on video by technicians and disseminated on YouTube and Instagram.The study investigates the dynamics of a creative process and its impact on the different areas involved, bringing together the testimony of the various actors in the process, challenging assumptions and bringing a new view to reality events. The golden age of documentaries happened in the 80’s (Rosenthal, Corner, 2005), and today the dissemination of documentaries happens through internet. As the documentary film never had a precise definition (Nichols, 2017), this study contributes to the autonomy of this typology of artistic production. The documentary methodology combined with the use of social networks manages to achieve a broader societal impact and in an effective way. An experimental theme related to different areas of knowledge attends a design-driven innovation (Verganti, 2009) and not a market-oriented process that could compromise the experimental factor. The documentary can become an occasion to promote discussion between the notions of science and art, fiction and non-fiction, business and art, teaching, and profession. It is intended to demonstrate that the process of cooperation between different areas is a sustainable choice that respects and values the project partners, assuming a social commitment. The film interprets the current reality, dealing with what happened before, during and after filming and conveying social interest and debate about the role of creative processes in transforming reality.The research already includes a post-doctoral, the publication of a book, a video, a promotional teaser, 2 prototypes and interviews with some stakeholders, so that it can expand its potential to a larger project with the aim of generating innovation, producing mutual sustainability between the manufacturing and the culture industries of the same region. The study could be the basis for consolidating a proposal for a future project, explaining how a design process is developed in the various stages and using a visual document that can have a strong impact on today's society.

Abstract:
This study aims to reveal the current ethical issues raised by corporate sustainability reports. Many texts such as the Paris Agreement, the European Green Deal, carbon regulations at the border, which have started to play a very important role in the economic and social pattern of the world, have been affecting daily lives of individuals across the countries. Beyond migrations, droughts and natural disasters, the armless war of the new millennium is a struggle for the civilization forced by these agreements. In addition to the European Union, which is gradually increasing its pressure on both member countries and suppliers within the framework of climate scenarios with the directives it has issued on impact value and due diligence, the USA is also making its own regulations binding for everyone. In addition to the scenarios of combating climate change, these two main economic powers also need different fictions that can sustain the social and economic comfort within their borders. In particular, the exponential growth of migration will be accompanied by the danger of disrupting the structure of the global economy, production, and the distribution of labor. While the EU considers the reporting of the companies in the member states to be inadequate in terms of quality and quantity, the companies that make a significant part of their trade to the member countries need a much more long-term and patient endeavor. Although the translations of the regulations consisting of numerous articles are often not easily comprehended in different cultures, it is a fact that ethics-based efforts will make this process permanent and understandable. In this context, sustainability studies and reporting of corporate firms, which are the core structures, have been analyzed in a way to include the supply chain. Many of the reports examined reveal the existence of knowledge and experience gaps that will lead to social and ecological problems as well as low impact value. The study brings an applied ethical suggestion to the ethical value analyses of the existing approaches and tries to reveal to what extent all these global efforts, the core subject of which is ethics, can overlap with ethical behavior.
