Abstract

Tema ovog rada jest pokušati odgovoriti na pitanja: kakva je Lemova vizija uloge književnosti, odnosno kako on vidi znanstvenu fantastiku i koju ulogu ona ima u futurologiji. Kako bi se pronašao odgovor na to pitanje, treba se prvo skrenuti pažnja na Lemove poglede na književnost i uhvatiti nit Lemovog stila koji ga je proslavio, koji je nadahnuo mnoge pisce nakon njega i smjestio žanr znanstvene fantastike kao ravan i jednako vrijedan drugim, klasičnim književnim žanrovima. Glavne okosnice bit će njegova djela Summa Technologiae i Fantastyka i futurologia, dugi eseji u kojima Lem promišlja između ostalog i o književnosti, kao i dodatna literatura autora kao što su Jerzy Jarzębski i Darko Suvin i dr., kako bih stekla uvid u širi spektar znanstvene fantastike kao žanra i smjestila Lemovu viziju iste na taj spektar. Cilj rada je, odgovarajući na ova pitanja, prikazati Lemovu viziju književnosti i ulogu futurologije u znanstvenoj fantastici.
