Chronology of Latin American Science Fiction, 1775-2005

Many readers and critics possessing only a superficial acquaintance with Latin
American science fiction erroneously assume theworks tobe mere variations of
the more prestigious genres, magical realism and the literary fantastic.
(Oftentimes, thismisperception is fueled by publishers, who are unconvinced of
themarket appeal of a book labeled "science fiction.") Any foray into the
speculative thatcomes from Latin America runs the risk of being classified as
either magical realism or the fantastic, as if those genres were somehow
endemic and unavoidable. The term "sf" has now become internationally
accepted, however, and is widely used, sometimes to differentiate subgenres
within the overall rubric of the fantastic and at other, less fortunate times, to
label those works as "sub-literature." Although we use the designation "sf"
here, we must point out that sf is often intertwinedwith other speculative forms
inLatin America (most commonly horror and the fantastic). Historically, in the
absence of sustained attention from the literaryestablishment, Latin American
writers have been free to disregard themore stringentgenre boundaries that
shaped early sf production in the US. Therefore, this and any chronology of
Latin American sf will of necessity include texts not always or exclusively
identifiable as science fiction, especially to readers accustomed toworks from
parts of theworld with more established sf traditions and stronger ties to the
critical and market sectors.
The objective of this Chronology is to continue to inventory this type of
cultural production in Latin America and to present ithere inEnglish for the
first time. An earlier version was published inNovember 2000 in Chasqui, a
journal devoted to Latin American literary criticism. That first attempt was
written in Spanish and included coverage of regional works published between
*
1775-1999. While we have expanded this version of theChronology into the
twenty-firstcentury, we are nonetheless aware that itmay still be incomplete
and welcome additional titles for a future edition.
The selection criteria do not necessarily imply aesthetic or other value
judgments. Generally, this compilation does not include forms of the sf genre
such as poetry, film scripts, films, or comic books. The only exceptions are
indicated in the text.The Chronology ismostly organized by country and year
of publication, and the term "Latin American" ismeant to indicate the authors'
nationalities as well as the original language of the fictional works?that is,
either Spanish or Portuguese. If an author is classified under "Argentina," for
example, inmost cases this designates his or her country of origin. In some
instances, authors are listed under the countries where they spentmost of their

lives or where theirworks were published, rather thanunder the countries where
theywere born. Such is the case of Alfredo Cardona Pena, who was born in
Costa Rica in 1917 but whose works are listed under Mexico, where he lived
and worked until his death in 1995; such is also the case of Rene Rebetez, a
Colombian who lived and published inMexico formany years. If the author
published the work under a pseudonym, his or her real name is indicated in
square brackets thefirst time thepseudonym appears?for example, S. Fragoso
Lima [pseud, of Horacio Quiroga]?and thereafter is omitted. Novels and short
story collections are indicated by italics; the titles of short stories are given in
quotation marks. Some short stories have been listed individually in order to
highlight their importance; whenever possible, we have included the titlesof the
collections, anthologies, or magazines inwhich theywere first published. A
collection of short stories by either single or multiple authors is indicated in
parentheses as "(anth)."
Titles of magazines or fanzines from each country are listed following the
fictional works. They are organized chronologically according to the years in
"
which thosemagazines were incirculation (e.g., 1998-99")- In cases where the
magazine in question is still being published, this is indicated by a dash
following the date itfirst appeared (e.g., "1998- "). The number of issues is
shown in parentheses whenever possible. Some of the listedmagazines are not
sfmagazines proper but have published special issues on the genre. In these
cases, this informationappears inparentheses next to thename of themagazine.
Meriting its own subsection within the Chronology is the Spanish-language
magazine Nueva dimension, edited inSpain from 1968 to 1982, which published
thework of many Latin American sf authors throughout its 148 issues.2
The section entitled "Essays" includes critical works about Latin American
sfwritten in any language, as well as academic articles written in Spanish or
Portuguese thatdeal with sf in general. The bibliographical information about
primary texts has been kept to a minimum for reasons of space; the critical
works, however, are listedwith complete bibliographical information. For the
benefit of those who do not read Spanish or Portuguese, we have included a
section that lists sfworks available inEnglish translation.
Finally, the sections entitled "The Caribbean," "Mexico," "Central
America," "Colombia," "Venezuela," "Bolivia," "Peru," "Brazil,"

"Argentina," "Chile," and "Uruguay" provide us with a convenient format for


organizing the bibliographical entries. Each section will introduce leading sf
authors and provide some historical context for the sfproduction in the country
specified. It is thus our hope that the data and commentary offered in this
Chronology will be useful both to literary critics and historians and to the
general public.
The Caribbean
Science fiction published in the countries forming the Hispanic Caribbean
(Cuba, Puerto Rico, and theDominican Republic) has historically experienced
a strong US influence and presence. And yet we must note that the genre has
developed in very differentways in each of these three countries. While the

Dominican Republic can only offerone notable work?Josefina de laCruz's Una


casa en el espacio [A House in Space, 1986]?and Puerto Rico has only
two?James Stevens-Arce's Soulsaver (1998) and Rafael Acevedo's Exquisito
cadaver [Exquisite Corpse, 2001]?Cuba has excelled in sf production, mostly
since Castro's 1959 Revolution. Such disparity is difficult to explain. We might
speculate that theDominican Republic has been too economically disadvantaged
to develop what we may call a "scientific literary taste" among its reading
public, or thatPuerto Rico has been so culturally dominated by theUS that its
writers were exposed only toAmerican sf,while Spanish and Latin American
models were practically unavailable. But these aremere hypotheses. In any case,
the quality of sf produced in Puerto Rico has recently been internationally
recognized, after Stevens-Arce won the Spanish UPC award and Acevedo won
an honorable mention in theCuban Casa de las Americas award competition.
(The UPC award for short stories and short novels has been hosted by the
Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya in Spain since 1991; it is the only sf
competition thatconsiders submissions written inFrench, English, Catalan, and
Spanish. The Casa de las Americas award, for its part, is one of themost
prestigious literaryawards in Spanish, promoted by the official Cuban Casa de
las Americas since 1960 for thebest Latin American novel, play, essay, poetry,and
short-storycollection.) Nothing similar can be said about their Dominican
counterpart, De la Cruz, whose work was so poorly received by thepublic that
she took itupon herself to publish an essay "explaining" the plot of her novel
as well as the reasons for having published it in the firstplace.
On the other hand, ifwe take a look at Cuba's recent history, itbecomes
much easier to understand why this small island of some eleven million people
has become one of themost importantproducers of sf in Spanish. Although
there are some pre-1959 works listed as sf in thisChronology, it is not until the
1960s, with the publication of works by Angel Arango, Miguel Collazo, and
Arnaldo Correa that there is a clear effortby Cuban publishers to encourage the
genre. The genre did not, however, reach its pinnacle until the 1980s, more
specifically after 1979, when more titles of high quality by local authors
appeared on Cuban shelves. Two major reasons are usually given to explain that
development. The first is the abundant publication of sf works from the
Communist block in the 1970s, which fed a new generation of Cuban writers
who had grown up under Castro's regime. The second reason is the
establishment of a category for sfwithin the prestigious national David award
fornew Cuban writers. The award included thepublication of thewinner's work
by Editorial Union, a national publisher, ensuring the distribution of thousands
of copies all over the country. The David award for sf continued uninterrupted
for eleven years and prompted the appearance of a strong sfmovement with
annual national conferences and literaryworkshops. It also fostered a new group
of writers that included Daina Chaviano, F. Mond (Felix Mondejar), Agustin
de Rojas, and Yoss (JoseMiguel Sanchez). Although the 1990s were a difficult
period forCuba in general, sf has remained strong and today both authors and
fans keep thegenre alive. In addition, some authors are publishing and garnering
acclaim overseas?for example, Yoss and Vladimir Hernandez in Spain and

Daina Chaviano in Spain, Mexico, and the US. With Cuba still strong and
Puerto Rico emerging as a contender, sf in theCaribbean looks healthier today
than ithas ever been.

Mexico
Mexican science fiction has a long, though rather uneven, two-hundred-year
history thatcan be divided intofive distinct periods. The first, theprecursor era,
spans more than a century, beginning in 1775 with a philosophical short story
by Manuel Antonio de Rivas, a Franciscan friarwho imagined a trip to the
Moon as a prologue to his astronomical almanac. Almost 70 years later,
Sebastian Camacho Zulueta (under thepseudonym Fosforos Cerillos) offered his
vision of Mexico in the year 1970 as a model nation whose main method of
transportwas balloons. In 1849 Geronimo del Castillo Lenard also imagined his
countrymen in the twentieth century transported by balloons and ruled by a
monarch. From 1861 to 1871, writers such as Juan Nepomuceno Adorno,
Nicolas Pizarro, and Ignacio M. Altamirano sympathized with a liberal party
bent on preventing religion from hindering progress; these writers produced
Utopian works in which religion and technological advances joined forces to
ensure material progress. Pedro Castera celebrated the new popularity of
Comptian positivism in "Un viaje celeste" [A Celestial Trip, 1872] and his best
novel, Querens (1890), deals with the effects of mesmerism and hypnosis on
human will and our ability to reason.
The second period, from 1900 to 1939, is characterized by a clear interest
in improving the literaryquality of thegenre. To do this,Mexican writers found
ithelpful to follow foreignmodels such as Verne, Flammarion, andWells. The
most acclaimed writer of this period isAmado Nervo, who contributed to the
genre with poems such as "El gran viaje" [The Great Voyage, 1917] and such
excellent short stories as "La ultima guerra" [The Last War, c. 1900], where he
speculates about animal evolution into thefifty-sixthcentury. Other noteworthy
writers of the period are Carlos Toro, who imagined a global disaster brought
about by Halley's Comet in "En los dias del cometa" [In theDays of theComet,
c. 1910]; Martin Luis Guzman, who presents an intelligentmachine able to
en 1917"
predict the consequences ofWorld War I in "Como acab6 la guerra
[How theWar Ended in 1917, 1917]; and Julio Torri, with two stories also
published in 1917, "La conquista de la Luna" [The Conquest of theMoon] and
"Era un pais pobre" [ItWas a Poor Country]. The novel Eugenia: Esbozo
novelesco de costumbresfuturas [Eugenia: A Fictional Outline of Future Mores,
1919], by Eduardo Urzaiz Rodriguez, is an optimistic forerunner of Aldous
Huxley's Brave New World (1932); and Felix F. Palavicini's jCastigo! Novela
mexicana de 1945 [Punishment! Mexican Novel of 1945, 1926] is the first
Mexican dystopia.
The next period, from 1940 to 1964, is one of consolidation thatbegins with
the work of H.G. Wells's most successful Mexican follower, Guillermo
Zarraga, who wrote under the pseudonym Diego Canedo. His first novel, El
a
referi cuenta nueve [The Referee Counts to Nine, 1942], is set in parallel
universe where theNazis have invaded Mexico. He followed thatfirstwork with

Palamds, Echevete y yo, o el lago asfaltado [Palamas, Echevete, and I, or The


Paved Lake, 1945], a collection of time-travel stories set in pre-Hispanic and
Colonial Mexico, and La noche anuncia el dia [The Night Heralds theDay,
1947], about a machine able to read theminds of professional politicians.
Another importantwriter of theperiod isRafael Bernal, whose novel Su nombre
era muerte [ItsName was Death, 1947] is about a scientistwho deciphers the
language of mosquitoes and urges them to rebel against their own repressive
regime. Mexican versions of US pulp magazines such as Famous Fantastic
Mysteries, Startling Stories, Fantastic StoryMagazine, and The Magazine of
Fantasy and Science Fiction experienced a boom in the decade from 1948 to
1958. Although for themost part theypublished translations, thesemagazines
also managed to include a few stories by Mexican writers. Meanwhile,
mainstream authors such as Juan JoseArreola ("Baby H.P.," 1952) and Carlos
Fuentes ("El que invento la polvora" [He who Invented Gunpowder, 1954])
began publishing a few sf stories inmainstream magazines. For themost part,
however, Mexican sf fans could nurture their interestby reading translations of
classic novels from theUS, Britain, France, and the Soviet Union; these were
published by Spanish, Argentinian, and Mexican publishing houses such as
Diana and Novaro, which launched a series of paperback novels in translation
from 1955 to 1975. In 1964, two expatriates living inMexico, Alejandro
Jodorowsky and Rene Rebetez, published two issues of Crononauta, introducing
surrealist psychedelia into thegenre toproduce what they labeled "panic science
fiction."
The fourth period, from 1964 to 1983, belongs to the firstgeneration of
Mexican authors to become known for writing science fiction. Among their
works are Juan Aroca Sanz's El ultimo reducto [The Last Refuge, 1968];
Agustin Cortes Gavino's Hacia el infinito [Towards Infinity, 1968] and iDe
donde ...? [From Where?, 1969]; Carlos Olvera's Mejicanos en el espacio
[Mexicans inSpace, 1968]; JorgeTenorio B. 's Sin ventaja [WithoutAdvantage,
1971]; and Jesus Pavlo Tenorio's La pildora maravillosa [TheWonder Pill, c.
1970]. Mainstream writers who also contributed to the genre include Edmundo
Dominguez Aragones with Argon 18 inicia [Argon 18, Engage, 1971]; Tomas
Mojarro with Trasterra, 1973; and Marcela del Rio with Proceso a Faubritten
[Faubritten's Trial, 1976]. We should also mention Alfredo Cardona Pena, a
Costa Rican author living inMexico, who published his fantasyworks inLos
ojos del ciclope [The Cyclop's Eyes, 1980] and Los mejores cuentos de magia,
misterioy horror [The Best Magic, Mystery, and Horror Stories, 1990].
The current generation of authors, who have managed to furnishMexican
science fictionwith itsown language and themes, got its start in 1984, when the
journal Ciencia y Desarrollo launched the firstNational Science Fiction Short
Story Contest. In 1992 the
Mexican Association of Science Fiction and Fantasy
(AMCYF) was formed and its first president, Federico Schaftler, brought
together theworks of 42 authors in a three-volume anthology entitledMas alia
de lo imaginado [BeyondWhat's Imagined, 1991-94]. The Association and the
national contest, togetherwith a workshop led by Schaffler known as Terra
Ignota and the publication of themagazine Umbrales (1992-2000), have all

helped to encourage contemporary sfwriters. Other key promoters, historians,


critics, and well-known authors who have helped Mexican sf achieve national
and international recognition include Gabriel Trujillo Munoz, Jose Luis Zarate
Herrera, and Gerardo Horacio Porcayo Villalobos.
The following authors and works are also representative of contemporary
Mexican sf: Ernesto de la Pena, Las mdquinas espirituales [SpiritualMachines,
1991]; Mauricio-Jos6 Schwarz, Mas alia no hay nada [There is Nothing
Beyond, 1996]; Bernardo Fernandez, jjBzzzzzzt!! Ciudad interfase [Bzzzzzzt!!
Interface City, 1998]; Gerardo Sifuentes, Perro de luz [Light Dog, 1999] and
Lospilotos infernales [Infernal Pilots, 2002]; Jose Luis Zarate, Hyperia (1999);
and Ramon Lopez Castro, Soldados de la incertidumbre [Soldiers of
Uncertainty, 2000]. What makes these stories representative is theirhigh literary
quality, their thematic originality, and theirgenuine Mexican voice.
Also of note is an anthology thatpays homage to Philip K. Dick?a highly
admired author inMexico?entitled El hombre en las dospuertas [The Man by
theTwo Doors, 2002]. Other novels worth noting include Arturo Cesar Rojas's
space opera Xxyeroddny, donde el gran sueno se enraiza [Xxyeroddny,Where
the Great Dream is Rooted, 1984]; Gerardo Horacio Porcayo's pioneering
cyberpunk work La primera calle de la soledad [The First Street of Solitude,
1993]; and Maria Luisa Erreguerena's Precursores [Precursors, 1995], which
tells of women's social and intellectual progress on another planet, offering a
point of comparison with the plight of women on Earth. The constant
deterioration ofMexico's future is a common theme that runs through several
key works of this period and this idea is reflected in such suggestively titled
works as Cristobal nonato [Christopher Unborn, 1987] by Carlos Fuentes; La
destruccion de todas las cosas [The Destruction of All Things, 1992] by Hugo
Hiriart; Que Dios se apiade de todos nosotros [May God Have Mercy on Us
All, 1993] by Ricardo Guzman Wolffer; iEn quien piensas cuando haces el
amor? [Who Are You Thinking ofWhen You Make Love?, 1995] by Homero
Aridjis; Mascara Aztecay elDoctor Niebla (despues delgolpe) [AztecMask and
Doctor Fog (After theCoup), 1996] by Paco Ignacio Taibo II; El dedo de oro
[The Golden Finger, 1996] by Guillermo Sheridan; and Sequia: Mexico, 2004
[Drought: Mexico, 2004, 1997] by Francisco Martin Moreno. Visiones
Perifericas [Peripheral Visions, 2001], a highly-praised anthology edited by
Miguel Angel Fernandez-Delgado, serves as a good introduction toMexican sf.

Central America
Science fiction inCentral America first emerged in thework of twoModernist
authors, Ruben Dario and Maximo Soto Hall. Nicaraguan-born Ruben Dario,
inhis commentary on H.G. Wells's sfworks, held that itwas Wells's aspiration
to connect the "miracle of science" to the "religious miracle," just as Dario
himself tried to do with his short story "Veronica," his closest approach to the
genre. This story,written in 1896, was later rewritten and published in 1911
under the title "La extrana muerte de Fray Pedro" [The Strange Death of Fray
Pedro] and deals with the consequences of a skeptical friar's X-ray experiments
on a consecrated Host. Guatemala's Maximo Soto Hall, in his 1899 novel El

problema [The Problem], imagined a near futurewhen Central America would


be taken over by a great power thatwas then digging an interoceanic canal
across Nicaragua. In 1920, Costa Rican Carlos Gagini continued this anti
imperialist tradition with La caida del dguila [The Eagle's Fall], a story
featuring an alliance among the nations of Central America against the US.
Another Guatemalan, theModernist Rafael Arevalo Martinez, followed suit in
1925 with La oficina depaz de Orolandia [Goldland's Peace Office], about the
offices of the Panamerican Union, a satire of Washington's Peace Office
denouncing the exploitation of his country's natural resources. He laterwrote
a couple of Utopian works, El mundo de losMaharachias [The World of the
Maharachias] in 1938 and Viaje a Ipanda [Trip to Ipanda] in 1939. Yet his most
genuine contribution to the genre is his 1951 short story "El gigante y el auto"
[The Giant and the Automobile] which clearly pays homage to Voltaire's
"Micromegas" (1752).
During the postwar period, Panamanian author Rogelio Sinan combined
magical realism and cubist techniques in his 1954 "La boina roja" [The Red
Beret]. This storywas included in Seymour Menton's 1964 anthology El cuento
hispanoamericano [The Latin American Short Story] and is considered one of
thebest sf stories from the region.
The most prominent and prolific Central American authorwriting during the
so-called "Latin American Boom" is Salvadoran Alvaro Menendez Leal, better
known by his pseudonym, Alvaro Menen Desleal. His literary influences include
Borges, Kafka, Bradbury, Asimov, Poe, Wells, and Arreola, and he paid
homage to thosewriters in the following short-storycollections: Cuentos breves
ymaravillosos [Brief andWonderful Stories, 1963], La ilustrefamilia androide
[The Illustrious Android Family, 1972], Racer el amor en el refugio atdmico
[Making Love in the Atomic Bomb Shelter, 1972], and Tribulaciones de un
americano que estudio demografia [Tribulations of an American who Studied
Demographics, n.d].
From the 1970s on, there is little informationavailable about theworks and
authors of this region, except for their sporadic appearances inLatin American
sfanthologies. Thus, inPrimer a antologia de la ciencia-ficcion latinoamericana
[The First Anthology of Latin American Science Fiction, 1970], we find Costa
Rican Alberto Canas with "El planeta de los perros" [The Planet of theDogs],
and Hondurans Oscar Acosta with "La busqueda" [The Search] and "El
regresivo" [The Regressive] and Orlando Enriquez with "Nacimiento ultimo"
[Last Birth]. Costa Rican Louis Doudray's story "Aqui" [Here] is included in
the Spanish fanzine Zikkurath (1979).
The last decades have produced only a few titles and authors, among them
the novel Juan Chapin en el siglo XXX [JuanChapin in theThirtieth Century,
1986] by Guatemalan Francisco JavierAguirre Batres, and the collection CR.
2040 (1996) edited by Costa Rican Roberto Sasso. In 2003, Alberto Ortiz, also
fromCosta Rica, published inMexico Azory Luna [Goshawk and theMoon] a
novel of historical extrapolation set in a post-apocalyptic Caribbean Basin that
combines science fiction and magical realism. Before that, in 1995, Laura P.
Quijano Vincenzi became the firstCosta Rican author to publish an sf novel.

Her Una sombra en el hielo [A Shadow in the Ice] is amystery set in2195 about
an abandoned underground polar research station and an enigmatic figure who
disappeared along with it.Finally, IvanMolina Jimenez is the only other Costa
Rican authorwho has managed topublish two recent short-storyanthologies, La
miel de los mudos y otros cuentos ticos de ciencia ficcion [The Honey of the
Mutes and Other Costa Rican Science Fiction Stories, 2003] and El alivio de las
nubes ymas cuentos ticos de ciencia ficcion [The Relief of theClouds andMore
Costa Rican Science Fiction Stories, 2005].

Colombia
Colombia's literature is among the richest in theSpanish language, having given
us authors of the stature of Jose Eustasio Rivera, Jorge Isaacs, and Gabriel
Garcia Marquez, the grand master of magical realism. Yet science fiction
represents only a brief chapter in itshistory. Studies of the genre inColombia
are very rare, perhaps themost comprehensive of them being Ricardo Burgos
Lopez's "La narrativa de ciencia ficcion en Colombia" (2000) which is our
principal source of information for this introduction (see the full entrybelow in
"Studies in English on Latin American sf and studies on sf in Spanish and
Portuguese," 429).
Colombian sf s predecessors appeared toward the end of the nineteenth
century and at thebeginning of the twentieth: "Futura" (1896), a shortpoem by
the distinguished writer Jose Asuncion Silva, and "Bogota en el ano 2000"
[Bogota in theYear 2000, 1905], an exercise in social extrapolation by Soledad
Acosta de Samper. Over two decades would pass before another sfwork would
come to light: Una triste aventura de catorce sabios [A Sorrowful Tale of
Fourteen Wise Men, 1928], an episodic social satire by Jose Felix Fuenmayor.
The 1930s were years of political stability and industrialization inColombia
and, in that context, two new sf novels appeared. Barranquilla 2132, by Jose
Antonio Osorio Lizarazo, used the familiar trope of a man falling asleep only
to awaken two centuries later in a future thatmirrors his own social reality. In
the realm of pulp fiction and extraordinary voyages, we have Viajes
interplanetarios en zepelines que tendrdn lugar en el ano 2009 [Interplanetary
Zeppelin Voyages That Will Take Place in theYear 2009, 1936] byManuel F.
Sliger, of interestnow only to literaryhistorians.
The 1940s and 1950s marked the start of political violence and guerrilla
warfare inColombia, and most authors abandoned the emphasis on regionalism
thatprevailed in earlier times and adopted a more universal and experimental
narrative style. Sf smost prolific period began in the 1960s with authors such
as Rene Rebetez and Antonio Mora Velez, who openly identified theirwork as
science fiction. For much of his life,Rebetez (1933-99) lived outside his native
country, primarily inMexico. There he published a large part of his oeuvre,
a
beginning with Las ojos de la clepsidra [The Clepsydra's Eyes, 1964], volume
containing many sf stories and poems. Those of his sf stories that appeared in
La nueva prehistoria y otros cuentos [The New Prehistory and Other Stories,
1967], Ellos lo llaman amanecer [They Call itDawn, 1996], and Cuentos de
amor, terrory otros misterios [Stories of Love, Terror, and otherMysteries,

1998] are well known for incorporating elements of the genre's traditional
iconography intoamythic, latino-flavored environment. Rebetez's early literary
criticism was published inCiencia ficcion: la cuarta dimension de la literatura
[Science Fiction: Literature's Fourth Dimension, 1966].
Mora Velez, a poet and writer, remains si's chief proponent in
short-story
Colombia. He has published three sf anthologies?Glitza (1979), Eljuicio de los
dioses [The Judgmentof theGods, 1982], and Lorna es una mujer [Lorna is a
Woman, 1986]?in which he develops the genre's main themes to reflect a
certain candor and trust in scientific progress. His two recent collections of
poetry are Los caminantes del cielo [Travelers of the Heavens, 1999] and El
fuego de los dioses [The Fire of theGods, 2001].
Science fiction has not yetmanaged to establish itself inColombia as a genre
in its own right, however. Unfortunately, few Colombian sf texts really pass
critical muster and the country's top writers have, for a variety of reasons,
tended to avoid the genre.

Venezuela
The earliest example of Venezuelan science fiction, a short story by Julio
Garmendia titled "La realidad circundante" [The Reality Around Us, 1927],
proposed a device that would enable the user to adapt effortlessly to any
circumstance, be itphysical or psychological. Nothing could better proclaim the
arrival inVenezuela of thenew genre of science fiction. Almost a decade later,
in his novel La galera de Tiberio [Tiberius's Galley, 1938], Enrique Bernardo
Nunez described his nation's futurebymeans of an ironic and critical timeline
of the years to come.
We have no other record of Venezuelan sf until the end of the 1960s, when
the start of the space race between theUS and the Soviet Union triggered in
Venezuela?as ithad in other Latin American countries?a prolific increase in
the number of sf authors. Most of them engaged the genre only briefly,
examples being the anthology Quorum (1967) by David Alizo and the short
stories "Conspiracion en Neo-Ucronia" IConspiracy inNew Uchronia, 1967]
by Francisco de Venanzi, "Racine desde el aeropuerto" [Racine from the
Airport, 1970] by Jose Balza, and "Jinetesde la luz" [Riders of theLight, 1970]
by Humberto Mata. De Venanzi's and Balza's stories criticize their present
society from the distance of a technologically perfect country, while Mata's
story takes a nostalgic look at contemporary human achievements thatwil 1be
scorned or ignored in the future.
Luis Britto Garcia, better known as a university professor and writer of
mainstream literature,made his debut with the anthology Rajatabla [To the
Letter, 1970], which contains many sf stories representative of his sharp sense
of humor and his irony; itwas awarded the prestigious Casa de las Americas
prize, an honor also bestowed upon his laternovel Abrapalabra [Hocus Wordus,
1979]. His most recent incursions into the genre appear in the anthology, La
orgia imaginaria [The ImaginaryOrgy, 1983].
In 1979, Julio E. Miranda published thefirst anthology of Venezuelan sf as
part of the "Libros de Hoy" collection sponsored by thenewspaper El Diario de

Caracas. Works by the aforementioned authors appear in this volume, as do


those of younger writers such as Pascual Estrada, Ednodio Quintero, Jose
Gregorio Bello Porras, and Armando Jose Sequera. We have been able to find
only sporadic and incomplete information about Venezuelan sf texts published
since then. This neglect, however, was tempered in part by the birth of Ubik,
the sf club of the Universidad Simon Bolivar, on 24 May 1984. Ubik was
responsible for thepublication two years laterof themagazine Cygnus, followed
in 1988 by La Gaceta de Ubik [The Ubik Gazette] and, in 1993-94,
Necronomicon. Before changing its name in 1997 to theVenezuelan Science
Fiction and Fantasy Association, Ubik organized sf film festivals, literary
contests and workshops, conferences, and expos. Currently, the club not only
continues with these activities but also edits threeonline publications: Ubikverso,
Necronomicon, and Desde el Lado Obscuro [From theDark Side].

Bolivia
The two earliest examples of speculative fiction in Bolivia were written by
women: Adela Zamudio's "El viaje" [The Trip, c. 1920] is included in her
anthology Cuentos breves [Short Stories, 1975] and "El occiso" [The Slain Man,
1937] is a collection of three stories byMaria Virginia Estenssoro. The next two
experiments with the genre come from the 1940s, 2487 (a.k.a. Utopia 2487,
n.d.) byWerner Pless and Victima de los siglos [Victim of theCenturies, n.d.]
by Alvaro Montenegro. As noted in an article on Bolivian science fiction
appearing at < elforastero.blogalia.com>, it is significant thatboth writers felt
they had to use a similar strategy to place their characters in a highly
technological world in the distant future.3 In 2487, the protagonist sleeps for
about 500 years and in Victima de los siglos his counterpart is frozen by gas
after an atomic bomb explosion and wakes up 5000 years later. In both cases,
the travelers' effortsat understanding the future serve as vehicles for reflecting
on the present.
It is difficult even tofind exact titles and publication dates for the few other
sf stories written before the 1990s. There are references to authors such as
Harry Marcus, Edmundo Carmargo, Roberto Leiton, and Marcela Gutierrez,
whose works are being rescued in part by themagazine Correveydile, but
otherwise they are very difficult to find. One author who excels in the genre is
Hugo Murillo Benich, winner of national awards for his anthology Paraiso
[Paradise, 1990] and his 1995 short story "El Supraespacio" [Superspace].
There are a few short stories cited inParaiso thatwere published during the
1990s, butmore concerted effortson thepart of both publishers and writers had
towait until thebeginning of the twenty-firstcentury. One of those effortswas
a contest sponsored by theUnited Nations that resulted in an anthology of sf
stories by young writers, published by Santillana in2001. Among them,we may
note Greg Mercado ("El Koan-Testador" [Tester-Koan]) and Nayra Corzon
("Cognitivo disidente" [Cognitive Dissenter]) as young writers to watch.4
Fortunately, itseems that thenew centurymay yet produce Bolivian sfworks
of greater quality and rooted in a more autochthonous cultural form, ifwe are
to judge by the novel El viaje [The Trip, 2001] by Rodrigo Antezana, which

touches on cyberpunk without being sf proper. Another similar novel is


Edmundo Paz Soldan's El delirio de Turing [Turing's Delirium, 2003]. This
ambitious novel has been described by Solange Iriarte as "a perfect combination
"5
of politics, suspense, science fiction and social realism. Alison Spedding's De
cuando en cuando Saturnina [From Time toTime Saturnina, 2004], however,
fits thegenre squarely. In it,Spedding, an English anthropologist who has lived
inBolivia since 1989, imagines her adoptive country in the year 2086 having
been takenover by an indigenous revolution led by theAymara Indianmajority.
As a linguistic innovation, the novel mixes Spanish, Spanglish, and Aymara.
Published in the same year, Gary Daher's El huesped [The Guest, 2004] tells an
Orwellian story of a man checking into a hotel where reality is controlled by a
computer net. Today the Internet ishelping writers to get theirwork published;
even novel-length projects such as Fernando Aracena'$ Latinoamerica 2025 may
find a readership online (at <http://members.tripod.com/~Aracena/index
2.html >). Let us hope that the trend continues and more Bolivian writers start
using the genre to comment on their reality while stimulating readers'
imaginations.

Peru
The earliest examples of science fictionwritten inPeru are two short stories by
Clemente Palma published in the first decade of the twentieth century. "La
ultima rubia" [The Last Blonde, 1904] places an alchemist in the year 3000, and
"El dia tragico" [The Tragic Day, 1910] plays on people's fears of Halley's
Comet. After Palma, it is not until the 1950s that twomore Peruvian writers,
Eugenio Alarco, an academic, and Hector Velarde, a humorist, look to thegenre
for inspiration. Alarco's La magia de los mundos [The Magic of theWorlds,
1952] depicts a society where involuntaryorgan donation is a matter of routine;
it is considered by some to be a classic of the genre in Peru. Some critics have
appreciated the literary influence ofHomer, Dante, and Cervantes on thenovel' s
poetic style,while others consider itsgory content tobe ahead of its time. Itwas
published inBuenos Aires in 1952 and has a sequel, Los mortales [TheMortals,
1966]. Velarde's contribution to the genre is a series of humorous essays?"La
perra en el satelite" [The Bitch in the Satellite, 1958]?that have the space race
and the atomic age as background.
Just as in the rest of Latin America, Peruvian science fiction gained
considerable strengthduring the 1960s and 1970s, with two significant figures
emerging at this time, Jose B. Adolph and Juan Rivera Saavedra. Ironically,
although Adolph is considered the primary sf author associated with Peru, he
was born inGermany and only became a Peruvian citizen in 1974. His work has
been translated into several languages and included in anthologies in the US,
Europe, and Latin America. A good example of Adolph's style and a classic of
Peruvian science fiction is the short story "El falsificador" [The Falsifier, 1972]
inwhich Latin American history and myth are cleverly juxtaposed. Most of
Adolph's oeuvre uses the conventions of the genre, although he himself prefers
to use the term "speculative fiction." Rivera Saavedra, on the other hand,
preferred themore widely used term "science fiction" and indeed included it in

the title of his short-story anthology, "Cuentos sociales de ciencia ficcion"


[Social Science Fiction Stories, 1976], which focuses on what itmeans to be
human. Saavedra uses thegenre as a weapon todenounce social problems of the
time, theworst being, according to him, our own loss of humanity. Another
significant work of the 1970s is Jose Manuel Estremadoyro's hilarious and
original space opera Glasskan, elplaneta maravilloso [Glasskan, theMarvelous
Planet, 1971] and its sequel "Los homos y la Tierra" [Men and Earth, 1971].
The firstnovel recounts a trip toGlasskan, a Utopian planet where human beings
go to be trained in the art of achieving perfection, while the second describes
how thosemen return to Earth to bring peace and prosperity but find no one
therewho deserves these gifts.
Unfortunately, the growth of Latin American science fiction during the
1960s and 1970s towhich Adolph and others contributed inPeru does not seem
to have lasted very long. In a recent article?posted at <espanol.geocities.
com>?sf author Daniel Salvo refers to the current state of science fiction in
Peru, from the reader's point of view, as "desolate," singling out Spanish
publishers such as Minotauro, Gigamesh, and Bibliopolis as culprits or at least
accomplices in thismatter. Peruvian readers, according to Salvo, must resign
themselves to cheap second-hand copies of sfworks, since powerful publishers
such as the aforementioned ones offer new books at inflated prices or have
stoppedmaking themavailable altogether. At the same time, Peruvian sfauthors
do not have access to publishing houses in theirown country and must seek to
publish theirwork abroad. Among those who managed to get theirwork into
print in the 1990s are then-fourteen-year-old Giancarlo Stagnaro, with
Hiperespacios [Hyperspaces, 1990]; Carlos Bancayan Llontop with Lasformas
[The Forms, 1997], a collection of four of his short stories; and Enrique
Prochazka with his first short-story collection, Un unico desierto [A Single
Desert, 1997], whose language is reminiscent of Borges's.
Again, the Internet is doing much to alleviate this state of affairs by offering
an outlet to newer writers such as Ruben Mesias Cornejo, Jose Donayre
Hoefken, Jose de Pierola, Yelinna Pulliti Carrasco, and Daniel Salvo, among
others. And it isperhaps a good omen thatboth Jose B. Adolph and JuanRivera
Saavedra published new works in 2003?the former a novel, Un ejercito de
locos [AnArmy ofMadmen], and the lattera short-storycollection, Oprimidos
y exprimidos [Oppressed and Squeezed].

Brazil
In themid-nineteenth century,Brazilian authors begin writing tales of imaginary
societies and voyages into the future in themode of Verne and Flammarion.
These descriptive works, which have little real action and mostly passive
or
protagonists, deal with political reform through thedepiction of futureevents
societies, as in Joaquim Felicio dos Santos's Pdginas da Historia do Brasil
[Pages from Brazil's History, 1868-72] and Emilio Zaluar's novel O Doutor
Benignus [Dr. Benignus, 1875]. Beginning in the early part of the twentieth
century,works of this sort address more controversial topics, such as social and
agrarian reform, eugenics, and the social roles ofwomen. Utopian novels of this

typewritten by Godofredo Emerson Barnsley (Brasil no Ano 2000 [Brazil in the


Year 2000, 1909]), Rodolfo Teofilo (O Reino de Kioto [The Kingdom of Kiato,
1922]), and Adalzira Bittencourt {Sua excelencia, a Presidente no ano 2500 [Her
Excellency, the President in theYear 2500, 1929]) portray Brazil as a world
power thathas made reforms in the areas of health, urbanization, and political
organization. By modernizing theBrazilian myth of grandeza (greatness based
on the country's size, natural resources, and potential political and economic
advances), theseworks reflect a generally optimistic attitude toward science and
technology and its role inBrazilian society.
In the 1930s and 1940s, Afonso Schmidt continued theUtopian current inhis
1934 novel Zanzald, while other Brazilian sf authors began writing futuristic
short stories criticizing contemporarymores, adventure tales of lostworlds, or
stories of the uncanny and absurd. Berilo Neves's A costela de Addo [Adam's
Rib, 1930] and Gomes Netto's Novelas Fantdsticas [Fantastic Novellas, 1934]
focus on the battle of the sexes, bemoaning incipient feminism and the ills of
modern society. Among the "lost world" adventure novels set in the remote
hinterlands of Brazil areMenotti del Picchia's Afilha do Inca [The Daughter of
the Inca, 1930] and Kalum (1936), as well as JeronimoMonteiro's O irmao do
diabo [The Brother of theDevil, 1937], all of which recall works by Haggard,
Burroughs, and Conan Doyle. In 1947, Monteiro wrote his first sf novel, Tres
meses no seculo 81 [ThreeMonths in the 81st Century], while themaster of the
literaryfantastic,Murilo Rubiao, began to publish tales of the uncanny, first in
newspapers and then in an anthology titledO ex-mdgico [The Ex-Magician,
1947].
The late 1950s and early 1960s ushered in the firstworks of modern sf
published in Brazil. Known as theGRD Generation, afterGumercindo Rocha
Dorea?one of the few Brazilian publishers of the genre during this
period?these authors demonstrated originality in their reworking of typical sf
motifs such as space travel, alien contact, robots, and nuclear war, by filtering
them through theperspective of Brazilian culture. Lighthearted works from this
period make reference toRio's carnaval and streethustlers (malandros), as in
"Missao T-935" [Mission T-935, 1963] by Wilmar Guido Sassi and "Ukk"
(1965) by Levy Meneses, or to affectionate robots, as in "O menino e o robo"
[The Boy and theRobot, 1961] by Rubens Teixeira Scavone, "Zinga, o robo"
(1963) by Andre Carneiro, and "O Carioca" (1960) by Dinah Silveira de
Queiroz. More somber works by these authors, along with the novel Fugapara
parte alguma [Flight toNowhere, 1961] and Os visitantes do espaqo [Visitors
fromOuterspace, 1963] by JeronimoMonteiro, portray the threatof nuclear war
and the fear of non-humanoid aliens, evoking a sense of powerlessness and a
dread of neo-colonialist exploitation. Tales of space travel resulting indeath or
alienation, such as Fausto Cunha's "Regresso" and "O dia que ja passou"
[Return, and The Day thatAlready Passed, 1960], illustrate the fear thatBrazil
might lose its sense of compassion or cultural identityby assimilating technology
and foreign cultural values. It could be said that these works anticipated the
actual policies of modernization and development initiated by the Brazilian
military beginning in 1964.

Brazilian science fiction of the late 1960s and the 1970s can be divided into
two categories: narratives of the fantastic and dystopian novels. At this point,
almost all of the typical motifs of science fiction disappear, except for the
uncanny events of fantastic literature and the clockwork worlds of imaginary
technocratic regimes. Fantastic tales by Jose J. Veiga (A mdquina extraviada
[TheMisplaced Machine, 1968] and Sombras de Reis Barbudos [Shadows of the
Bearded Kings, 1972]) and by Murilo Rubiao (O pirotecnico Zacharias
[Zacharias, The Pyrotechnician, 1972]), includemotifs such as unfathomable
machines, unexplained appearances of animals inurban environments, unending
bureaucratic procedures, and Kafkaesque interrogations. In the 1970s, several
mainstream authors turned to dystopian fiction to avoid censorship by the
regime, disguising their critiques of its policies of fast-paced economic
development in their futuristic tales. As allegorical representations of Brazil
under military rule, these novels contain clear allusions to the regime's use of
censorship, media control, torture, imprisonment, and disappearances, tactics
of thepost-1968 crackdown bymilitary hardliners. The dystopian novels of the
period are characterized by a nostalgia for the past, especially in the idealized
portrayal of nature or women as repositories of authentic Brazilian identity,as
seen inworks such as Fazenda Modelo [Model Farm, 1974) by Chico Buarque,
Ofunciondrio Ruam [Ruam the StateWorker, 1975] byMauro Chaves, Ofruto
do vosso ventre [The Fruit of Thy Womb, 1976] by Herberto Sales, Asilo nas
tones [Asylum in theTowers, 1977] by Ruth Bueno, and Um dia vamos rir
disso tudo [Someday We Will Laugh about All This, 1976] by Maria Alice
Barroso. Recurrent themes include governmental regulation of reproduction and
sexual behavior, policies of modernization, the destruction of natural
environments, and control of themedia and the minds of citizens. In the
dystopian novels Umbra [Shadow, 1977)] by Plinio Cabral and Ndo verdspais
nenhum [And Still the Earth, 1981] by Ignacio de Loyola Brandao,
environmental degradation goes hand in hand with eroding personal freedoms
as Brazil faces the ecological and political consequences ofmilitary rule.
Coinciding with the end of the dictatorship in 1985, a new generation of
writers emerges and begins towrite in a wide variety of sf subgenres. In hard
science fiction, JorgeLuiz Calife's Horizonte de Eventos [Event Horizon, 1986]
and Roberto Schima's "Os fantasmas de Venus" [The Ghosts of Venus, 1993]
use outer space exploration and settlement to criticize the political and
environmental devastation caused by thedictatorship and itspolicies of economic
development. Other hard sf stories such as Fabio Fernandes's "Color Me Black"
(1998) and Carlos Orsi Martinho's "Pressao fatal" [Fatal Pressure, 2000] raise
as yet unresolved issues of race and gender within Brazilian society, which
persist despite technological advances in the future.Highlighting verbal play and
sensory overload made possible by computers, Brazil's cyberpunk introduces
elements of racial politics, sexuality, violence, and poverty to comment on social
and political changes takingplace inBrazil's urban culture. Brazilian cyberpunk
novels such as Silicone XXI (1988) by Alfredo Sirkis, Santa Clara Poltergeist
(1990) by Fausto Fawcett, and Piritas siderais [Outerspace Pyrites, 1993] by
Guilherme Kujawski use urban settings instead of cyberspace, stressing

international conspiracies against Brazil. Robots and computers emerge as


vehicles to criticize class, race, and gender prejudice in stories such as "Pela
valoriza^ao da vida" [In Favor of Life, 1988] by Ivan Carlos Regina, "O
consertador" [The Repairman, 1989] by Henrique Flory, "As criangas nao
devem chorar" [Children Shouldn't Cry, 1990] by Jose dos Santos Fernandes,
and O demdnio do computador [The Devil in theComputer, 1997] by Marcia
Kuptsas. Cyborgs tend to reflect theBrazilian incorporation of technology into
the Brazilian body politic in "A pedra que canta" [The Stone thatSang, 1990]
by Henrique Flory and in thenovella "Julgamentos" [Judgments, 1993] by Cid
Fernandez. Aliens are portrayed in a variety of ways, reflecting divergent
attitudes towards globalization. In the story "O espelho relampago no oco do
ciclone" [The Mirror-Lightning in the Eye of theCyclone, 1989] by Braulio
Tavares, the invaders represent foreign consumer culture disrupting the rhythms
of Brazilian life. Aliens can also be seen as Brazil's potential allies, uniting
political, religious, mystical, and folk cultures in a mix of cultural hybridity as
innarratives such as "Amigos" [Friends, 1989] by Henrique Flory, "A vitoria
dos minusculos" [The Victory of theMiniscule, 1997] by Roberto de Sousa
Causo, "Portas Induzidas" [Induced Doors, 1999] by Anna Creusa Zacharias,
and "Caidoceu" [It Came from Above, 1985] by Marien Calixte. Alternate
histories and parallel universes are subgenres that show the lasting impact of
colonialism, reflectingBrazil's strugglewith modernization and self-discovery.
Inmany of the alternate histories of Gerson Lodi-Ribeiro, such as "A etica da
trai^ao" [The Ethics of Treason, 1992], as well as Max Mailman's parallel
universe novel, Mundo Bizarro [BizarreWorld, 1996], we are reminded of how
Brazilian elites, having held on to power for too long, have failed to sacrifice
privilege for greater social justice.
During this period, science fiction written by women becomes more
common. While Finisia Fideli's two stories "Exercicios de silencio" [Exercises
of Silence, 1983] and "Quando precisa ser homem" [When you Gotta Be aMan,
1993], as well as Marcia Kupstas's O demdnio do computador [The Devil in the
1997], use male narrators or characters to subvert or male
Computer, question
hegemony in the genre, Martha Argel's "Vidinha caseira" [Home Life, 2000]
and Carla Cristina Pereira's "Longa viagem para casa" [The Long Voyage
Home, 2000] use the female voice to parody or reverse the conventional gender
roles of mother and housewife in Brazil. More recently,Michelle Klautau's A
Terra do Hy Brasil [The Land of Hy Brazil, 2005] and Helena Gomes's O
arqueiro e afeiticeira [The Archer and the Sorceress, 2003] have created new
hybrid fantasy genres, portraying complex female characters and situations
based onmedieval themes taken frommore conventional fantasy stories. Recent
currents in sf and fantasy also include traditional heroic sword-and-sorcery
novels such as Orlando Paes's Angus (2003), Luiz Roberto Mee's Oprisioneiro
da sombra [Prisoner of the Shadow, 2003], and Arthur Bastos and Alvaro
Pereira's Armanon (2005), while Roberto de Sousa Causo's more
anthropological A sombra dos homens [The Shadow ofMen, 2004] is set in the
Amazon and involves an encounter between a Viking and an Amerindian. A
postmodern mixture of the horror genre, science fiction, time travel, and fantasy

is being explored as a way of capturing readership inBrazil, and recentmulti


authored anthologies exemplify this trend, such as thehistorical survey of sf and
horror, Pdginas da sombra: Contos fantdsticos brasileiros [Pages from the
Shadow: Brazilian Tales of theFantastic, 2003] edited by Braulio Tavares, and
an anthology of time-travel police stories, Intempol (2000), edited by Octavio
Aragao. Individual works such as Carlos Orsi Martinho's "O Misterio da Sala
Quatro" [TheMystery of Room Four, 2004] and Aragao's "Hospedes" [Guests,
2004] also combine sfmotifs with elements of horror.
Although contemporary sf inBrazil expresses a global consciousness, italso
generally attempts to retain itsnational character. At the same time, the recent
"Manifesto Antibrasilite" [Anti-Brazilitis Manifesto, at <www.
antibrasilite.xpg.com.br > ] blasts literarynationalism as reductive and limiting,
demonstrating that thedebate about the futureof science fictionwritten inBrazil
is far from over.6

Argentina
Argentina has a wide-ranging and richhistory of fantastic literature,particularly
of science fiction. The first example we can claim for the genre, "Delirio"
[Delirium], was published anonymously just before Argentina's Declaration of
Independence in 1816. This short story, an exercise in social and urban criticism
following thedicta of theFrench Revolution, is set in 1880 inBuenos Aires and
itsmain character is Tremebundo, a kind of superman who makes all sorts of
improvements in the city.
Many sfworks were written in the second half of the nineteenth century,
partly because of the political stability thathad been achieved after decades of
unrest and partly due to the creative impulse reigning in Buenos Aires society
at that time. Progressive liberalism, European Romanticism, "new sciences"
such as spiritualism and mesmerism, and the theoryof evolution all contributed
to the production of sfworks during thisperiod. The most prominent sfwriter
of the time was Eduardo Ladislao Holmberg, with works such as Viaje
maravilloso del senor Nic-Nac [TheMarvelous Voyage ofMr. Nic-Nac, 1875]
and "Horacio Kalibang o los automatas" [Horacio Kalibang or theAutomatons,
1879], a work thatpredicts the advent of robots. Also worth mentioning from
that same period isEduardo de Escurra's Buenos Aires en el siglo XXX [Buenos
Aires in the 30th century, 1891] a work that reflects positivist thinking as it
relates to technological development.
During the first decades of the twentieth century, highly respected
Argentinian authors experimented with the genre, producing works of superior
literaryquality; these include Leopoldo Lugones's Las fiuerzas extranas [Strange
Forces, 1906] and Ricardo Rojas's La psiquina [The Psychine, 1917). There
were also some popular anarchist and socialist-Utopian works published at this
time, and La novelafantdstica, thefirstmagazine in Spanish entirely dedicated
to science fiction, was published inBuenos Aires in 1937.
La invencion deMorel [The Invention ofMorel] by Adolfo Bioy Casares was
published in 1940; this is a key novel inArgentinian literature and one of the
most influential sf novels written in Spanish. This novel?which Borges is said

tohave called perfect?explores two key topics in science fiction: the search for
immortalityand the nature of reality. Bioy Casares, winner of theCervantes
Award (the Nobel Prize of Spanish letters), turned to science fiction several
times, although critics did not acknowledge his affiliation with the genre for
quite some time. Jorge Luis Borges's work, although much closer to the
fantastic, also touches the realm of science fiction in stories such as "Las ruinas
circulares" [The Circular Ruins, 1964] and "La otramuerte" [The Other Death,
1949].
During the 1950s, science fiction came into its own as a genre, especially
after themagazine Mas alia [Beyond] was launched and a publishing house,
Minotauro, issued handsome editions of modern sf classics. Itwas also at this
time (1957) that the comic El Eternauta became available. This comic, with
scripts by H.G. Oesterheld and drawings by Francisco Solano Lopez, helped
popularize sfmotifs.
During the 1960s, sfworks began appearing more frequently in anthologies,
in short-storycollections, and as novels. The first important study of the genre
in Spanish, El sentido de la ciencia ficcion [The Meaning of Science Fiction],
appeared in 1966. In it,Pablo Capanna used his philosopher's skills to examine
sf smythological and religious roots. Later, the same authorwould write studies
about Cordwainer Smith, Philip K. Dick, J.G. Ballard, and J.R.R. Tolkien,
among others.
Science fiction in Argentina was strengthened during the 1970s by the
publication of specialized collections and several books by Argentinian authors.
Especially noteworthy are the short-story collections by celebrated author
Angelica Gorodischer, Bajo las jubeas enflor [Under the Flowering Jubeas,
1973] and Casta luna electronica [Chaste Electric Moon, 1977], with their
picaresque, colloquial, and epic tones. Gorodischer's most praised book, Kalpa
Imperial [Imperial Kalpa, 1983], portrays thegrowth of an empire in language
that is both precise and fluid.
After a bloody dictatorship and decades of political instability, the sf genre
began to flourishwith the returnof democratic governments in 1983. The point
of departure for thisnew period was the launching of themagazine El Pendulo
edited byMarcial Souto, a key proponent of sf during this time. El Pendulo, in
thewords of Swedish critic Sam J.Lundwall, was "undoubtedly thebest science
fictionmagazine in content, presentation and layout ever published anywhere"
("Adventures in the Pulp Jungle," Foundation: The International Review of
Science Fiction 34 [Autumn 1985]: 12). Numerous other publications, both
professional and amateur, also appeared in connection with the magazine.
Between 1983 and 1989more Argentinian sfworks were published than in the

are the two-time winner of the Spanish UPC Award, Carlos Gardini, with
Primera linea [First Line, 1983] and Mi cerebro animal [My Animal Brain,
1983]; Marcelo Cohen, highly regarded in academic circles, with lnsomnio
[Insomnia, 1986]; and Sergio Gaut vel Hartman, one of themain promoters of
the genre, with Cuerpos descartables [Disposable Bodies, 1986]. Two other
periodicals thatare still active began during this same period: Cudsar, edited by

Luis Pestarini, and Axxon, edited by Eduardo Carletti. The former started in
1984 and is the longest-running Spanish-language magazine dedicated to the
genre, and the latter is an electronic publication, a pioneer in itsfield thatbegan
itsdistribution via diskette in 1989 and now appears on a very popular web site.
During the 1990s, a downturn in the economy brought a considerable
reduction in the publication of sf works. In 1991, ConSur I, the first Latin
American Science Fiction Convention, was held in Buenos Aires. A few
noteworthy novels appeared, but only sporadically, and many of the authors
whose names had appeared frequently a decade earlier either abandoned the
genre or remained silent. Unsurprisingly, pessimistic visions dominated this
period, inworks such as Anatomia humana [Human Anatomy, 1993] and Cruz
diablo [Vade Retro, 1997] by Eduardo Blaustein.
After Argentina's social crisis and financial default of 2001-02, the early
twenty-firstcentury shows signs of a new vitality,with new works by emerging
authors such as Alejandro Alonso's La ruta a Trascendencia [Route to
Transcendence, 2004] and Postales desde Oniris [Postcards from Oniris, 2004].
Also worth noting is the launch ofNautilus, edited by Carlos Abrahan, thefirst
publication inLatin America dedicated exclusively to sf criticism.
Chile
Futuristic fictionwas probably introduced toChilean readers during thecolonial
era throughworks such as Jean-Sebastien Mercier's Utopian time-travel fantasy,
UAn 2440 [In theYear 2440, 1771]. In 1877, Francisco Miralles published
Chile's first full-length speculative fiction novel, Desde Jupiter: Curioso viaje
de un santiaguino magnetizado [From Jupiter: The Curious Voyage of a
Magnetized Man from Santiago], a positivist critique of Chilean society written
at a time of popular fascination with theparanormal and, inprogressive circles,
a belief in human perfectibility through science and technology. One might
assume thatMiralles's novel spawned followers, yet todate scholars have found
nothing published between 1877 and 1913.
Up until the late 1950s, most Chilean sf authors paid little attention to
scientific plausibility, mixing the fantastic with technological innovations to
create a convenient platform fromwhich to examine serious social issues. Some
notable exceptions include Alberto Edwards (writing as Miguel de Fuenzalida)
and Ernesto Silva Roman, with his short story collections El dueno de los astros
[The Owner of theStars, 1929] and El holandes volador [The Flying Dutchman,
1948]. They wrote for rival magazines and penned thrilling stories full of
technological gadgetry and action-adventure heroics in the style of theUS pulps.
The appearance in 1959 ofHugo Correa's seminal novels, Los altisimos [The
Superior Ones] and Alguien mora en el viento [Someone Dwells Within the
Wind], was a turningpoint inChilean sf and is widely considered tomark the
first flourishing of the genre in Spanish America. The excitement of the space
race, combined with the expansion of theChilean publishing industryand the
availability of sf inSpanish?both translations and original works were published
in classic magazines such as Argentina's Mas Alia and Spain's Nueva
dimension?resulted inmore works appearing between 1959 and 1973 than in

the entire preceding eighty years. Writers were now less isolated from each
other and from their readers, and they shared a sense of purpose in developing
and promoting this new genre inChile. The first sf fan club was formed in the
1970s and around this time Julio Bravo Eichkoff launched two short-lived
fanzines, Sagitario (1972) and Aleph (1973). In addition to Hugo Correa, the
most important sfwriters from thisperiod are Elena Aldunate, with her 1967
anthology El senor de las mariposas [The Lord of theButterflies] and Antonio
Montero with Los superhomos [Supermen, 1963]. Although Chile's publishing
industry suffered during that country's military dictatorship (1973-89) and the
economic hardships of the 1980s, sfmanaged to survive with an average of two
new or reissued works published every year between 1974 and 1986.
A new generation has been sustaining Chilean sf since the late 1980s.
Fandom coalesced around Sochif (Sociedad Chilena de Fantasia y Ciencia
Ficcion) in the 1980s and Ficcionautas Asociados in the 1990s and these groups
hosted several public sf events. Moises Hasson, a much-published sfhistorian,
brought out thirteen issues of the fanzineNadir between 1986 and 1994. Fobos,
another noteworthy fanzine edited by Luis Saavedra, holds Chile's record for
longevity,with 23 print and electronic issues published between 1998 and 2004;
the entire run can be found online at < www. fanzine-fobos. cjb. net >. C urrently,
Chile's leading e-zine is Tau Zero (<www.tauzero.org>). Fobos sponsored
threenational sf short-storycontests and subsequently published three volumes
of prize winners, Pulsares 2002, Pulsares 2003, and Pulsares 2004. (An earlier
contest, not organized by Fobos, resulted in the collection Fixion 2000.)
Saavedra has written about Chilean fandom, and Hasson and Omar E. Vega
recently compiled a comprehensive bibliography of the genre (thisChronology
owes a large debt to these three researchers).
The literature itself isnow more self-consciously science fictional, andmany
of the genre's most innovative techniques and ideas are handled skillfully by
such writers as Diego Munoz, with Flores para un cyborg [Flowers for a
Cyborg, 1997]; Pablo Castro, with "Exerion," published in 2002 and available
inEnglish translation in the 2003 anthology Cosmos Latinos; and Sergio Amira,
with "PET," available in the 2002 edition of Pulsares: relatos chilenos de
ciencia ficcion. Jorge Baradit recently achieved a milestone inChilean sfwhen
his 2005 novel Ygdrasil was released by amajor internationalpublisher. Chilean
sf smomentum and quality may vary over time, as theydo everywhere, but the
genre is again on the ascendent thanks to a dedicated corps of writers and
promoters. There is every reason to expect a vigorous Chilean presence on the
future Spanish-language sf scene.

Uruguay
Uruguayan science fictionwas only a collection of isolated textsuntil the 1970s,
when a few authors began producing a body of work identifiable within the
genre. Itmust be noted that a significant portion of Uruguayan science fiction
was published outside the country, either because the authors lived abroad
(mostly inArgentina) or because they found better publishing conditions there

than in theirown country. As a consequence, Uruguayan authors suffered from


isolation and a lack ofmutual influence.
The firstUruguayan forerunner of the genre thatwe know of is Francisco
Piria's Elsocialismo triunfante[Triumphant Socialism, 1899] a Utopian work set
two hundred years in the future,when illnesses are eradicated and all races and
religions live in harmony. Piria took his Utopian project seriously: he founded
and built the city of Piriapolis (originally called Heliopolis) by theRiver Plate
at the beginning of the twentiethcentury.
Horacio Quiroga, a master of shortnarrative, triedhis hand at every genre,
including science fiction. Among hismost noteworthy effortsare thenewspaper
serial El hombre artificial [ArtificialMan, 1910] and some of his short stories
published inMas alia (1935). Between the death of Quiroga in 1937 and the
publication ofMario Levrero's first short stories at theend of the 1960s, we find
no science fictionworks inUruguay.
Levrero is the central figure inUruguayan science fiction in the second half
of the 20th century, but it is difficult to state conclusively that his work fits
squarely within the genre. And yet, the sense of strangeness he conveys, his
surrealist landscapes and theunusual situations surrounding his characters place
Levrero, likeBallard, on the edge of science fiction. His most noteworthywork
is the thematic trilogyLa ciudad [The City, 1970], Paris [Paris, 1980], and El
lugar [The Place, 1982].
Unlike Levrero's oeuvre, Tarik Carson's pessimistic, bitter science fiction
works clearly belong to the genre. Indeed, his short story collection El corazon
reversible [The Reversible Heart, 1986] and his novel Ganadores [Winners,
1991] are some of the finest examples of Latin American science fiction.
Beginning in themid-1980s a few small groups of authors and fans have
joined together to launch several short-lived science fictionmagazines. There are
also a number of writers, such as W. Gabriel Mainero, Roberto Bayeto, and
Felix Obes Fleurquin, who regularly publish short stories inmagazines and
anthologies, butwho have never published theirwork inbook formunless ithas
been self-financed. Carlos Maria Federici has triedhis hand atmany genres, and
within science fiction his best work is "El nexo de Maeterlinck" [The
Maeterlinck Nexus, 1978]. Finally, Ana Solari, with sf novels such as Zack
(1993), deserves mention as themost prominent figure of the past few years,
although her latestworks veer away from the genre.

image of disease, and thus takes the mania for Brazilianess to the point of sickness and

repulsion.
