The present study proposes, on the basis of philosophical-political projections (fictions), a novel way of interpreting the data of the post-human future, insisting on two specific vocabularies, visually displayed by two cinematographic films: After the Apocalypse and Arrival. In theory, we will update, through a parataxic appeal, the Aristotelian foundation of history (Fukuyama)-the moral reconfiguration of the future self (Habermas)-and the reconsideration of the postmodern condition as a

In this sense, we will place the utopian-dystopian visual narratives on the second level, considering that their propensity becomes relevant only as a quantification element, useful in establishing stage peculiarities. Thus, we will support the possible creation of two specific communication / vocabulary means, capable of giving a sense to the retro-future and the pseudo-future, both creating philosophical-political contexts of reconfiguration for the communicative state itself.
