Blade Runner, the title of Ridley Scott’s cult movie (1982), emerges on the pages of the novel Time Warp Complex (Taimu surippu konbināto, 1994) by Shōno Yoriko (b. 1956), a contemporary Japanese woman writer, as an envoy from the bleak future. Whatconnects these two works belonging to different narrative forms, both visual and textual? What kind of inspiration does Shono draw from the Blade Runner and what are its implications for the novel’s plot? To what extent does the post-apocalyptic, science-fictional world of Ridley Scott’s movie permeate the slipstream literature of Shōno Yoriko, shaping its fictional reality? Apart from answering above questions, the author of the present article also considers the role of science-fiction in contemporary Japanese literature, along with presenting the profile and literary work of Shōno Yoriko, an outstanding woman writer – but so far, for various reasons, little known outside Japan.

Blade Runner, tytuł kultowego filmu Ridleya Scotta z 1982 r., w Polsce znanego jako Łowca androidów, niczym wysłannik ponurej przyszłości pojawia się na kartach powieści „Kombinat zakrzywionej czasoprzestrzeni” (Taimu surippu konbināto, 1994), pióra współczesnej japońskiej pisarki Shōno Yoriko (ur. 1956). Co łączy te dwa utwory, należące przecież do różnych porządków narracyjnych – tak wizualnego, jak tekstowego? Co zainspirowało Shōno w Blade Runnerze i jakie są skutki tej inspiracji dla fabuły powieści? Na ile sajensfikcyjny, postapokaliptyczny świat słynnego filmu Ridleya Scotta przenika slipstreamową prozę Shōno Yoriko i kształtuje jej powieściową rzeczywistość? Oprócz odpowiedzi na te pytania, autorka niniejszego artykułu podejmuje również temat roli science fiction we współczesnej literaturze japońskiej oraz przedstawia sylwetkę i dorobek literacki Shōno Yoriko, pisarki wybitnej, lecz jak do tej pory z różnych powodów poza Japonią mało znanej.

The article addresses the subject of coexistence of music and image in a movie with particular emphasis on science fiction aesthetics. It points out the important form-generating role of music in the visions of the future created within this genre. The key issue here is the use of electronic music, considered to be the most adequate for illustrating futuristic worlds. Based on the research of musicologists, the most representative examples of a combination of electronic and avant-garde music with a picture in science fiction cinema are chronologically discussed. The starting point for these considerations is the characteristic universe and ambient sounds of Blade Runner. However, the analysis focuses mainly on the music from the sequel, Blade Runner 2049, in which the style initiated by Vangelis is continued by Hans Zimmer and Benjamin Wallfisch. The main part of the article is a discussion of non-diegetic and diegetic music in Blade Runner 2049. It emphasizes its unique correlation with the visual layer of the film and an its important role in shaping the Bladerunner’s world. This example raises a broader subject of the importance of electronic music for future-oriented science fiction movies.
