CALZON GARCIA, José Antonio. The Ontology of Time and Identity Troubles from Spanish Cyberpunk/Steampunk: Two Examples. Lexis [online]. 2020, vol.44, n.2, pp.745-786. ISSN 0254-9239.  http://dx.doi.org/10.18800/lexis.202002.010.

The article analyses the treatment of the ideas of time and identity in two Spanish science fiction novels which belong, to a greater or lesser degree, to the subgenres of steampunk or cyberpunk: El mapa del tiempo, by Félix J. Palma, and Lágrimas en la lluvia, by Rosa Montero. Once the main theoretical concepts are exposed, the target is to analyse contrastly both novels, by verifying how parallel universes and virtual worlds are used as narrative strategies to create several metaphors on the ideas of time and selfness in order to go in depth in the philosophical reflection in the reader.
