Abstract

Kjo ese sjell analizën e disa veprave të letërsisë fantastiko-shkencore shqiptare të realizmit socialist në kontekstin e politikave anti-koloniale dhe anti-imperialiste të Shqipërisë nga vitet ’60 e në vijim. Si një zhanër “minor”, letërsia fantastiko-shkencore shqiptare e realizmit socialist ishte në gjendje të shqyrtonte ndërlikimet dhe trajektoret e doktrinës ideologjike shqiptare me njëfarë lirie. Duke përvijuar ngjashmëritë me letërsinë afrofuturiste, autori propozon termin “albanofuturizëm” si një koncept të përgjithshëm për veprat shqiptare të letërsisë fantastiko-shkencore që i trajtojnë hapur këto tematika, si gjatë periudhës socialiste, ashtu edhe pas saj. Së fundi, eseja prezanton konceptin e “vdekjes së yjeve” si emblemë të përsiatjeve albanofuturiste, jo vetëm në lidhje me rezonancat midis politikave anti-koloniale e anti-imperialiste me letërsinë fantastiko-shkencore, por edhe për mundësinë e dështimit dhe të shembjes të tyre.
