Abstract

SAENZ LEANDRO, Ronald. The literary field of science fiction in Costa Rica: a look at controversy by the fixation of its canon. Comunicación [online]. 2019, vol.28, n.2, pp.58-70. ISSN 1659-3820.  http://dx.doi.org/10.18845/rc.v28i2-2019.4929.

This work provides an overview of the controversy of science fiction literature in Costa Rica, which, to date, has not been studied by critics. It starts from the concepts of literary field and canon, then offers a synthesis of the main arguments and actors involved in this literary polemic. Finally, it reflects on its participation in the struggle for the establishment of a specific creative proposal in the attempt to set a literary canon for science fiction in Costa Rica.

Keywords : literary canon; literary field; science fiction; Costa Rica; literary polemic.
