ALONSO ROCAFORT, Víctor. Political chronicles from Mars: A reading of the Martian chronicles, by Ray Bradbury, from political theory. Alpha [online]. 2007, n.24, pp. 9-36. ISSN 0718-2201.  doi: 10.4067/S0718-22012007000100002.

In this article we will indicate differences and significant questions for present political theory, such as mental violence and political fantasies; resistance; isegoria as a fundamental democratic notion; relations between knowledge, life and science; theoretical space travel; colonial encounters; or relations of alterity and political identity; all from the suggestions encoded in Ray Bradbury´s work, The Martian Chronicles. This is an attempt of theoretical enrichment for political philosophy from a literary text that takes us away from Earth
