Análisis de la narrativa de ficción warhammer 40k y las representaciones de poder a través de la comunicación

Abstract

Science fiction literature has been a means to transmit new forms of narratives that take elements of reality and adapt them to create stories that go beyond artistic, philosophical, and creative conceptions. As is the case of Warhammer 40K, the fictional universe around which this work and its line of research are structured. Warhammer 40K presents a dystopian futuristic universe where political and religious systems have eliminated any form of free speech in order to consolidate their form of government as a single centralized power. However, other types of symbols, factions and structures are built around the representations of power in this universe, but they also develop other concepts such as ethics and morality, technological development and the influence of discourses in the social environment that are develops in the books of False Gods and Hereticus. These two literary works present different scenarios in different timelines where each event symbolizes the change or setback in the development of the narrative of these stories. Based on this, the qualitative research was developed through the analysis of the narrative of the two literary works already mentioned, in conjunction with the use of analysis matrices and interviews with experts in literature and fans of the franchise.
