Resumo
This study aims to identify the features of the depiction of urban space in postcolonial science fiction. Describing the city as a spatial palimpsest, postcolonial SF refers not only to its horizontal dimension, connecting historical eras, material and intangible objects at one point, but also to the vertical – from the subway underground to storm drains and skyscrapers. The main research methods were the comparative analysis method, the typological method, and postcolonial discursive practices.
