REYES, Vianney Esmeralda  y  GONZALEZ VARELA, Sergio. Imaginaries of the Outer Space: The Star Wars Phenomenon as a Creation of New Possible Worlds. Rev. colomb. antropol. [online]. 2023, vol.59, n.2, pp.93-117.  Epub 01-Mayo-2023. ISSN 0486-6525.  https://doi.org/10.22380/2539472x.2422.

This article analyzes the phenomenon of Star Wars as a global, deterritorialized, and fluid culture. It argues that Star Wars is a representative example of an outer space imaginary that creates its own possible worlds. However, the best way to understand these imaginaries is through the collective practices it produces. Therefore, the text describes the performative, organizational and experiential domains that appear in the international conventions around Star Wars and in the practices undertaken by different fan clubs in Mexico.

Palabras clave : outer space; globalization; mythology; performance; Star Wars.
