Przyszłość już była. Dystopie w najnowszym kinie science fiction Ameryki Łacińskiej
The future has already happened. Dystopias in contemporary Latin American science fiction cinema

Summary/Abstract: This paper examines the various ways in which contemporary Latin American science fiction films contest the neocolonial and neoliberal narratives, dominant in the region since the 20th century. I identify and examine strategies that filmmakers employ to challenge the common understanding of such notions as time, modernity and technological progress. I outline the visions of dystopias presented in the examined films, while also analyzing the counter-narratives introduced by filmmakers, which are mostly focused on creating a new, hybrid identity for a future citizen.
