The author of the article presents three concepts of the existence of poetry in the framework of the science-fiction literary convention. The first of the concepts, concretized by Suzette Haden Elgin, recognizes a possibility of creating a lyrical monologue from inside of an assumed fantastic reality. The other one, more risky, confronts the scientific discourse with an intimate confession in the framework of allegory and hyperbole. The third one, represented by Samuel R. Delany, Adam Roberts and Seo-Young Chu’s views, recognizes the existence of poetry as a holistic dimension of the science-fiction convention.

In the article the literary works by Slavic writers (O. Tokarczuk, M. Kisiel, J. Grzędowicz, D. Kužel, D. Kovačević, etc.) are considered within the framework of a study based on the material of more than a hundred literary texts belonging to Russian, European and North American fantasy of the 20 – 21 centuries. The study is aimed at depicting the Universe of Afterlife (UA) as a special locus of the post-mortem existence of a human being (soul). It asserts the compliance of the analysed works with the "canon" of depicting the UA from the point of view of the problems, structure and functions of the investigated artistic image. Simultaneously, it specifies the peculiarity of theme interpretation by Slavic authors: the greater value of ethnic elements in the plot of works, the consideration of national historical and cultural contexts in creating individual author's models of the Universe of Afterlife.

This article focuses on the change in perception of humanoid androids in science fiction from Philip K. Dick’s cult novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?(1968) and its later film adaptations, to the depictions of androids and people in the struggle for survival and immortality in the TV series Battlestar Galactica (2004–2009) and Caprica (2010). Science-fiction novels usually outline the author’s ideas about the near or distant future of the world with which they are confronted on a daily basis. They usually warn readers of a possible apocalypse or present models of an ideal future society to replace the society of today. However, science fiction is written by real people in a specific space and time who often reflect the social tensions and issues of the time they were created. The depictions of humanoid androids, their position in society, and their desire to break free from their undignified or even slavish positions are, in many cases, a reflection of real policies and the position of today’s “others” in mainstream society.
