[en] THE DIALOGUE BETWEEN FAITH AND SCIENCE IN THE IMAGINARY OF TECHNOLOGY / [pt] UM DIÁOLOGO ENTRE FÉ E CIÊNCIA NO IMAGINÁRIO TECNOLÓGICO

RAQUEL OLIVEIRA DE CASTRO 07 October 2005 (has links)
[pt] As invenções tecnológicas ganham terreno em várias áreas da sociedade, auxiliando a pesquisa científica através de desenvolvimento de software e computadores mais ágeis e potentes, que permite sondar as instâncias mais profundas do corpo humano, a fim de prolongar a vida e, também, promover maior qualidade da mesma. A tecnologia também está presente no entretenimento, em forma de jogos e mecanismos capazes de produzir uma realidade virtual. Ultimamente, porém, ela vem se manifestando num diálogo mais próximo com as formas de religiosidade contemporânea. A presente dissertação busca explorar esse diálogo, constante no imaginário tecnológico, através do estudo da cinematografia de ficção científica e de algumas ideologias que circulam no ciberespaço. / [en] Technological inventions are increasingly present in many fields of society, helping scientific research by developing software and more powerful computers, making it possible probe the deepest corners of the human body so as to prolong life and improve its quality. Technology is also present in entertainment, in the form of games and mechanisms that produce a virtual reality. Ultimately, however, it has become more engaged in a dialogue with contemporary religiosity. This thesis explores the dialogue between faith and science as present in the imaginary of technology, through the study of sciencefiction films and some of the ideologies circulating in cyberspace.
