CULTURA DI MASSA, IMMAGINARIO POLITICO, ETICA E ROBOTICA

Barbara Henry

The article focuses on a qualitative interpretation of the role of robotic/roboethical plots in science fiction and in drawn literature, on one side, and on “real” science, on the other. Specific attention is given: a) to the meaning of a specific code of behaviour—the law 0, invented by Isaac Asimov as an evolution of the three laws of Robotics; b) to the still unexplored correspondence between this code and the forms of posthuman political imaginary, steadily embedded at some extent in social patterns of ancient origins and intercultural relevance.
