Abstract

The basic tenet through which Sonia Baelo-Allué and Mónica Calvo-Pascual frame their edited collection is the conviction that the world emerged from four consecutive and relatively quick industrial revolutions have been profoundly shaped by the technological development, and exponential growth determined by that processes. And the way that shaping has acted on culture, society, and people can be – and has been – understood both “as marks of progress or as processes of dehumanization” depending on how we conceive “progress and being human” (p. 1). The perspective we adopt to read the world and its processes determines the valuation of those processes. As basic and obvious as this consideration may seem, it actually has a lot of value when touching the subjects this edited collection aims at analyzing through contemporary fiction.
