Abstract

„Science fiction is concerned with not yet topical or not yet discovered problems, to which it offers rational solutions. Or, conversely, we can also say that science fiction is concerned with topical and already discovered problems and it offers non-existent yet rational solutions to them”, Margit S. Sárdi claims following Stanislaw Lem's views. (S. Sárdi, 2013, 32.) The exciting questions related to genre theory mostly reflect on the operation of the society of a given era, which, in turn, is mostly related to technological changes. My presentation aims to answer the following questions: Is there a place for the genre of science fiction/speculative fiction in the classroom?Is it worth teaching this relatively recent, highly flexible, hitherto not really appreciated genre? If yes, what are we supposed to explore and bequeath to further generations? How could this type of texts be used to make us face the most important issues of our time? In my opinion, these latter are: To what extent is the operation of the institutions of the society determined by the economy or industrial conditions? To what extent can inequalities in the society further increased? What are the reasons of the climate catastrophe? How are questions related to immigration-emigration, terrorism, colonization and gender issues approached by science fiction authors?
