Barr, Michael Fuchs, John Glover, Stephen Joyce, Sarah Lahm, James McAdams, Cynthia J. Miller, Fernando Gabriel Pagnoni Berns, Chris Pak, Maria Isabel Pérez- Ramos, Sfefan Rabitsch, J. Jesse Ramirez, A. Bowdoin Van Riper, Andrew Wasserman, Jeffrey Andrew Weinstock, and Robert Yeates XX Fantastic Cities provides a comprehensive survey of the city as it is represented in fantastic fiction across continents, cultures, and genres. The authors featured in this anthology successfully draw together a range of humanistic and social science critical frameworks to make sense of the fantastic city as a powerful way to express our collective hopes and fears about science, technology, society, and futurity (LISA YASZEK, coeditor of Literary Afrofuturism in the Twenty-First Century). XX Fantastic Cities: American Urban Spaces in Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror focuses on the American city as a fantastic geography constrained neither by media nor rigid genre boundaries. Contributors explore cultural media across many platforms such as Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy, the Arkham Asylum video games, Colson Whitehead's novel Zone One, the vampire films Only Lovers Left Alive and A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night, and Samuel Delany's classic Dhalgren. XX STEFAN RABITSCH is author of" Star Trek" and the British Age of Sail: The Maritime Influence Throughout the Series and Films and coeditor of Set Phasers to Teach! Star Trek in Research and Teaching. MICHAEL FUCHS is coeditor of Intermedia Games - Games Inter Media: Video Games and Intermediality; ConFiguring America: Iconic Figures, Visuality, and the American Identity; Placing America: American Culture and Its Spaces; and Landscapes of Postmodernity: Concepts and Paradigms of Critical Theory. STEFAN La BRANDT is professor of American studies at the University of Graz in Austria, He is author of The Culture of Corporeality: Aesthetic Experience and the Embodiment of America, 1945?1960 and coeditor of Ecomasculinities: Negotiating Male Gender Identity in U.S. Fiction; Space Oddities: Difference and Identity in the American City; Making National Bodies: Cultural Identity and the Politics of the Body in (Post-) Revolutionary America; and Transnational American Studies.

Añadir al carritoPaperback. Condición: New. Clear all moorings, one-half impulse power and set course for a mare incognitum. A popular culture artifact of the New Frontier/Space Race era, Star Trek is often mistakenly viewed as a Space Western. However, the Western format is not what governs the worldbuilding of Star Trek, which was, after all, also pitched as "Hornblower in space." Star Trek is modeled on the world of the "British Golden Age of Sail" as it is commonly found in the genre of sea fiction. This book re-historicizes and remaps the origins of the franchise and subsequently the entirety of its fictional world--the Star Trek continuum--on an as yet uncharted transatlantic bearing.

Añadir al carritoPaperback. Condición: New. Metropolis, Gotham City, Mega-City One, Panem's Capitol, the Sprawl, Caprica City-American (and Americanized) urban environments have always been a part of the fantastic imagination. Fantastic Cities: American Urban Spaces in Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror focuses on the American city as a fantastic geography constrained neither by media nor rigid genre boundaries. Fantastic Cities builds on a mix of theoretical and methodological tools that are drawn from criticism of the fantastic, media studies, cultural studies, American studies, and urban studies.Contributors explore cultural media across many platforms such as Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy, the Arkham Asylum video games, the 1935 movie serial The Phantom Empire, Kim Stanley Robinson's fiction, Colson Whitehead's novel Zone One, the vampire films Only Lovers Left Alive and A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night, Paolo Bacigalupi's novel The Water Knife, some of Kenny Scharf's videos, and Samuel Delany's classic Dhalgren. Together, the contributions in Fantastic Cities demonstrate that the fantastic is able to "real-ize" that which is normally confined to the abstract, metaphorical, and/or subjective. Consequently, both utopian aspirations for and dystopian anxieties about the American city become literalized in the fantastic city.Contributions by Carl Abbott, Jacob Babb, Marleen S. Barr, Michael Fuchs, John Glover, Stephen Joyce, Sarah Lahm, James McAdams, Cynthia J. Miller, Fernando Gabriel Pagnoni Berns, Chris Pak, María Isabel Pérez Ramos, Stefan Rabitsch, J. Jesse Ramírez, A. Bowdoin Van Riper, Andrew Wasserman, Jeffrey Andrew Weinstock, and Robert Yeates.

Introduced with references to Star Trek films and television shows, and illustrated with original cartoons, each of the 15 chapters included in this volume provides insights into research and teaching in this range of academic fields.
