CONCEICAO, Verônica Alves dos Santos; PORTO, Cristiane de Magalhães y COUTO, Edvaldo Souza. Frankenstein: when Science Fiction challenges Science. Ciência educ. [online]. 2020, vol.26, e20051. Epub 21-Oct-2020. ISSN 1980-850X. https://doi.org/10.1590/1516-731320200051.
Based on the novel Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley, the article supports the approximation of two fields of knowledge, literature and science, through the narrative of science fiction. The objective is to explore the relation between science and fiction where literature challenges science from the viewpoint of sociocultural relationships. The method used was that of bibliographic research by means of a review. As a result, we have verified that science can make use of literature to anticipate possible social developments of scientific decisions and that science-fiction can be singled out because it records the right to investigate science and technological advances that show human existence. We concluded that recognizing the close relationship between fiction and science prompts us to place it in the condition of a promoter of reflection about the role of scientific interventions in the world.
