Lost: A Kaleidoscopic Fiction

Abstract

Lost seems at first to present an evolution from the fantastic to fantasy, through science fiction, but eventually reveals a didactic pattern that invalidates a series of cognitive hypotheses and viewpoints on the series. In fine, acceptance is more important in Lost than knowledge: rather than an enigma, the series is a mystery that we have to accept and an experience of a community of love and acceptance.
