Science Fiction
Ask the average adult whether they like science fiction, and the answer will usually be “no.” But ask them whether they appreciate Mary Shelley’s novel Frankenstein, or remember Stanley Kubrick’s groundbreaking film 2001: A Space Odyssey, or enjoy watching the TV series Black Mirror, and watch them perk up. As it is still most commonly perceived, science fiction (hereafter SF) is a term that remains tainted by its perceived association with child…
Life Isn't Some Cartoon Musical”
rejoice. Amidst the ongoing culture wars, representations of women and minorities had been slowly but steadily improving in American film and television: the latest Disney princesses provided role models that were no longer necessarily straight and white, the notoriously white Star Wars franchise was undergoing noticeable diversification, and activist groups like Black Lives Matter were once again putting issues like racial profiling and police d…
Star Wars and the History of Transmedia Storytelling

Capitalist Superheroes
In the same way that Stallone and Schwarzenegger played film heroes who came to embody the values of Ronald Reagans aggressive conservative agenda in the 1980s, the 21st-century film narratives of Batman, Spider-Man and Superman reflect the policies of the Bush Doctrine after 9/11. This book offers a groundbreaking study of the relationship that exists between post-9/11 American politics and the contemporary superhero movie phenomenon. No other H…
