ABSTRACT
The notion that the meaning of the real is not discovered but constructed presupposes the adoption of a theory of intelligence in which, at least analytically, one distinguishes the moment of experiencing a reality from the moment of naming it and placing it in social circulation. The premise of a constructive intelligence enables the story in the science fiction film not only to metaphorically evoke texts about revelation, but in a way the film itself becomes a text of revelation. A symbolic form (constructed meaning) is not merely inserted in a field; the very construction takes place in the field where it will circulate. The field is the social space in which a symbolic form is interpreted, constructed and consumed. William Gibson, a novelist considered to be the predecessor of cyberpunk and postmodern science fiction, imagines the creation of autonomous technological worlds and the possibility of accessing them without the need of interfaces.
