ABSTRACT: Nowadays it is possible to recognize in Brazilian science fiction
production three major tendencies: 1) alternative history, including recent steampunk
fever; 2) cyberpunk fiction; and 3) borderline fiction (works in the border between
science fiction and mainstream fiction). These three tendencies begun in the Second
Wave of Brazilian Science Fiction, in the 1980’s. Each tendency is represented by the
authors Gerson Lodi-Ribeiro, Fausto Fawcett and Braulio Tavares, respectively.
Besides commenting on some of the early published works by new and old authors of
three tendencies – the alternative histories by Gerson Lodi-Ribeiro (Xochiquetzal, 2009)
and by Roberto de Sousa Causo (Selva Brasil, 2010); on the the cyberpunk fictions by
Fábio Fernandes (Os dias da peste, 2009) and by Richard Diegues (Cyber Brasiliana,
2010); and on the borderline fiction by Luiz Bras (Paraíso líquido, 2010) –, the aim of
this paper is to relate them to post-modernism, demonstrating that this artistic and
cultural movement is the common determination of the present production: thus,
alternative history approaches to a poetics of postmodernism that Linda Hutcheon
nominates “historiographic metafiction;” cyberpunk fiction, according to Frederic
Jameson, is the supreme literary expression not only of the postmodernism, but also of
