Aliens R Us Zusammenfassung

Aliens R Us: The Other in Science Fiction Cinema Ziauddin Sardar

This book explores the global culture of science fiction cinema, and in particular its presentation of contemporary images of the Other.

Taking as a starting point the popularity of international forms such as Japanese anime and Hong Kong sci-fi, in addition to the success of films such as The Matrix and television series such as Deep Space Nine, the contributors examine the science fiction genre as an international, populist form of social analysis. In doing so, they discuss issues such as Orientalism, technology, apocalyptic futures, xenophobia, militarism and the role of women.

Most contemporary studies look at the generic characteristics of science fiction, with its allegorical rendering of contemporary life, usually in relation to America. Case studies include Independence Day, Star Trek: First Contact and Until the End of the World, in addition to chapters on Eco-Apocalypse and new French sci-fi and New Manchester Ecstasy sci-fi.

Aliens R Us Bewertungen

'A left-wing reader on the nature of science fiction. A useful jumping off point into an examination of the discourse that underlines the genre' -- The Lecturer
