SUMMARY:

The future, a recurring theme in science fiction cinema, since the last quarter of the past century frequently presents itself as nightmarish scenarios. The dystopia, as of today, is the paradigm of the future, and the
exception is the rule of law, configuring the relations between its people and the social institutions. This thesis aims to offer an investigation founded on the historical background of the imagination of the future, articulated with a study about cinematic sci-fi, as well as to propose, through the anthropology of the imaginary, the relations between the fictional speculative exercises and the construction of reality, particularly under the guise of the concepts of exception and homo sacer, by Agamben. To that end, we shall use as the background for the research the plot of works of fiction that, as different as they may seem, gather together elements that can be identified in the events that edified the dystopia as the available interface of the future in postmodernity. Films
represent fictional societies in a constant state of emergency, in which wars are engaged against their citizens; the state, a strong organism of social control, conditions its citizens to different statuses regarding their
legality and political protection.
