Tales of the other: Philip K. Dick
€ 3.00One of the other’s most disturbing qualities is not his difference from us - on the contrary, it is his resemblance to us. Philip K. Dick, master of illusions and supreme theologian and philosopher of science fiction, has devoted many of his stories and novels to non-human characters, such as the androids in Blade Runner, or post-human characters, as mutants. The latter are a source of terror and attraction, of repugnance and veneration, depending on the specific powers they hold. Mutants represent the ultimate metamorphosis of humans - an otherness that is all the more threatening as it springs from within the species and its evolution. Dick’s fantasy of the mutant is one of the most perfect and memorable incarnations of this fascinating threat, impossible to tame, half-way between a lethal weapon and a philosophical challenge. Readings from P.K. Dick by Sonia Bergamasco will be commented by Emanuele Trevi.
