Endangering Science Fiction Filmexplores the ways in which science fiction film is a dangerous and endangering genre. The collection argues that science fiction's cinematic power rests in its ability to imagine 'Other' worlds that challenge and disturb the lived conditions of the 'real' world, as it is presently known to us. From classic films such as2001: A Space OdysseyandSolaristo modern blockbusters includingWorld War ZandGravity, and directors from David Cronenberg to Alfonso Cuarón, contributors comment on the way science fiction film engages with dangerous encounters, liminal experiences, sublime aesthetics, and untethers space and time to question the very nature of human existence. With the analysis of a diverse range of films from Europe, Asia, North and South America, Endangering Science Fiction Filmoffers a uniquely interdisciplinary view of the evolving and dangerous sentiments and sensibility of this genre. | Endangering Science Fiction Film by Sean Redmond, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
