I present the concept of fiction as a methodological tool for contemporary science, through the Michel Foucault's genealogical approach that understands fiction as potency for destabilizing the knowledge/power regimes, as well as to challenge the sensibility regimes in which one can perceive the present. Hence the term fiction is an ethical-political alternative to the concept of utopia, since utopia enhances macro politics and universalizing strategies, as fiction offers a micro politic alternative to interrogate actual reality beyond the historical form as it presents itself.
