Abstract

This text suggests reading of the story of science fiction films as a leap from space to the mind. This change of direction reveals the way our culture and science have explored the confines of reason, starting outside the body and moving inside it, and the way science fiction films have continued to protect and champion what is truly human: subjectivity.
