Indústria cultural e estetização de gênero em Fahrenheit 451

Abstract

This work aims to investigate the possibilities of the aestheticization of genre in dystopian science fiction. To this end, the notions of culture industry and aestheticization of genre are explored. Furthermore, the position occupied by science fiction as genre fiction are discussed. The arguments developed in the theoretical sections, in turn, are developed through a critical reading of Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury, a work selected due to the centrality that mass culture assumes in the shaping of the society that is represented.
