Abstract

JARAMILLO SANCHEZ, Claudia Janneth. Science fiction cinema as a condition that allows us to rethink the living and life. Prax. Saber [online]. 2021, vol.12, n.29, pp.34-50.  Epub Oct 16, 2021. ISSN 2216-0159.  https://doi.org/10.19053/22160159.v12.n29.2021.11932.

The article presents some approaches on science fiction cinema and the teaching of science, particularly of biology. Both the connections between cinema and teaching and those between the living and life are problematized in different ways in the present facing the future. Four science fiction films are analyzed from a philosophical perspective. Based on the author's experience, the concepts-image of the films, the emotional impact, and the questioning are put into dialogue through a visual exploration that, beyond complementing the words, seeks to stimulate thinking. Science fiction films about transhumanism and human extinction suggest a reflexive rethinking of the relationships we build with ourselves, with others and with the world we inhabit; in short, the ways in which we proceed in our dealings with the living and with life, which are not exhausted in the required contents and competences but transcend towards the pretension of bringing to the teaching scene our ethical gesture as a possibility of invention and choice.

Keywords : cinema; science fiction; biology; teaching; experience.
