science fiction (fiction (general genre), <genres in literature and performing arts>, ... Associated Concepts (hierarchy name))

 

Note: Refers to the form of fiction established in the 20th century, though notable precursors were established in the 19th century, in reaction to the growing controversy over the impact of science on society and individuals. Generally, the term encompasses fiction that deals with fantasy with dominant elements of plausibility and deals with future conceptions of society that include the informed extrapolation of scientific principles as a legitimizing and directional component. Prominent examples in this genre from the 19th century include Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1818) and Robert Louis Stevenson's Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1886); examples from the 20th century include works by Jules Verne, H.G. Wells, Hugo Gernsback, and Isaac Asimov. Later in the 20th century, the elements of science fiction appear in works by Kurt Vonnegut, C.S. Lewis, and Ray Bradbury, featuring future scenarios of human society and the possible consequences of space travel and extraterrestrial life.

Additional Notes:
Chinese (traditional) ..... 於二十世紀成形的小說類型,雖然十九世紀已有著名的先驅,反應科學對社會和個人造成的衝擊及漸增的矛盾。整體而言,此詞彙包含處理有貌似真實幻想為優勢元素的小說,以及有關社會的未來概念,包括引介科學原則,合法化和方向性成份的推斷。此類型中主要的例子從十九世紀瑪莉••雪萊(Mary Shelley)的科學怪人(Frankenstein)(1818),化身博士(Robert Louis Stevenson's Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde)(1886);二十世紀,儒勒••凡爾納 (Jules Verne), 赫伯特•喬治•威爾斯(H.G. Wells), 雨果•詹斯貝克(Hugo Gernsback), 以撒•艾西莫夫(Isaac Asimov)的作品;以及二十世紀晚期,庫爾特•馮內果 (Kurt Vonnegut), C•S•路易斯(C.S. Lewis), 和 雷•布萊伯利(Ray Bradbury)的科幻小說,出現以人類未來社會、太空旅行可能造成的後果和外星生物為情節等特色。 
Dutch ..... Verwijst naar een type fictie dat in de 20ste eeuw als zodanig bekend werd, hoewel er ook in de 19de eeuw al enkele voorlopers waren, als reactie op de toenemende controverse ten aanzien van de invloed van de wetenschap op de maatschappij en het individu. In het algemeen heeft de term betrekking op fictie met fantasie als basis, maar ook met plausibele elementen, en waarin toekomstbeelden van de maatschappij een rol spelen die tot stand zijn gekomen door het extrapoleren van wetenschappelijke principes. Belangrijke voorbeelden in dit genre uit de 19de eeuw zijn 'Frankenstein' van Mary Shelley (1818) en 'Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde' (1886) van Robert Louis Stevenson; voorbeelden uit de 20ste eeuw zijn werken van Jules Verne, H.G. Wells, Hugo Gernsback en Isaac Asimov. Later in de 20ste eeuw komen sciencefictionelementen voor in werken van Kurt Vonnegut, C.S. Lewis en Ray Bradbury, met toekomstscenario's voor de menselijke maatschappij en de mogelijke gevolgen van ruimtereizen en buitenaards leven. 
Spanish ..... Se refiere a la forma de ficción establecida en el siglo XX, no obstante precursores notables fueron establecidos en el siglo XIX, en reacción a la creciente controversia sobre el impacto de la ciencia en la sociedad e individuos. Generalmente, el término abarca a la ficción que trata con la fantasia con elementos dominantes de credibilidad y trata con concepciones futuras de la sociedad que incluye la extrapolación informada de principios científicos como un componente legitimador y direccional.
