Zbornik Antropologija naučne fantastike predstavlja rezime primetnog antropološkog pristupa popularnoj kulturi i u okviru tog pristupa posebno naučnoj fantastici i u književnoj i filmskoj formi. Više antropologa se bavilo različitim aspektima naučne fantastike prepoznajući u njoj i klasične i nove antropološke teme. U ovom zborniku donosimo dva teksta Bojana Žikića o
komunikaciji identiteta i dva teksta Ljiljane Gavrilović o naučnoj fantastici kao mitologiji savremenog društva i o antropologu kao etnografu izmišljenih svetova. Gost - filozof Predrag Krstić je zastupljen sa dva teksta koja predstavljaju rezultat proučavanja značenja televizijske serije Zvezdane staze, kao i Ana Banić Grubišić koja, izučavajući filmove postapokalipse, obraća pažnju na ishranu u postapokaliptičnim društvima i njihovom konceptu kulturnog nasleđa. Zlatko Knežević je takođe autor dva teksta o analitičkom dometu Kaveltijeve formule u proučavanju naučne fantastike i o odnosu naučne fantastike i tehnologije savremenog društva. Poseban pogled na kloniranje i klonove u naučnoj fantastici dala je Dragana Antonijević razmatrajuću međuodnos biotehnologije i etike u
savremenom društvu oslikan u naučno fantastičnim filmovima, takođe uz analitičku upotrebu Kaveltijeve formule i mitoloških tema. O upotrebi tradicijskih motiva u domaćoj naučnoj fantastici pisao je Ivan Đorđević i taj tekst predstavlja prvi korak ka proučavanju domaće produkcije ovog žanra.

Ontological turn is one of the current debates in philosophy, anthropology and archaeology. One of its central points is that different worlds can be inhabited by different entities and that this has to be taken seriously. Sci-fi is the genre which relies not only on the existence of different, often multiple worlds, but also on different, more often than not, multiple entities. Analysing sci-fi worlds and entities can serve as a thought exercise for analysing different ontologies. This paper will attempt exactly one such exercise by focusing on Egyptomania and sex in Enki Bilal´s Immortel, ad vitam, French live action and animated sci-fi movie based on comic books of Enki Bilal La Foire aux immortels. The story plays out in New York in 2095 and deals with the problem of the lack of suitable female partner for god Horus who is given seven days on Earth by a council of deities, before he loses his immortality. Horus is searching for a suitable genetically unmodified female partner, but also for equally unmodified male host. Such bodies are hard to find in this futuristic world. Egyptomania, Biblical and New Age motifs are abundant. This paper will argue that Immortel, ad vitam does not only serve as a case-study of Egyptomania, but that the questions it deals with can be useful for Egyptologists too, for example in considering who were appropriate partners for ancient Egyptian deities from their own perspective and what this can tell us on ontology in ancient Egypt.
