From the moment Maya Phillips saw the opening scroll of Star Wars, Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, her childhood changed forever. Her formative years were spent loving not just the Star Wars saga, but superhero cartoons, anime, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Harry Potter, Tolkien, and Doctor Who--to name just a few. As a critic at large at The New York Times, Phillips has written extensively on theater, poetry, and the latest blockbusters--with her love of some of the most popular and nerdy fandoms informing her career. Now, she analyzes the mark these beloved intellectual properties leave on young and adult minds, and what they teach us about race, gender expression, religion, and more--especially as fandom becomes more and more mainstream. Spanning from the 90s through to today, Nerd is a collection of cultural criticism essays through the lens of fandom for everyone from the casual Marvel movie watcher to the hardcore Star Wars expanded universe connoisseur. It's for anyone who's ever wondered where they fit into the narrative or if they can be seen as a hero--even of their own story" -- $c Provided by publisher 650 0 $a Fans (Persons) 650 0 $a Television broadcasting $x Social aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Popular culture $z United States. 655 7 $a Essays. $2 lcgft 941 $a 17 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240716035509.0 952 $l FGPD194 $d 20240515012025.0 952 $l GLAX641 $d 20231201010818.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20231024012231.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010032203.0 952 $l SIPD314 $d 20231006015044.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20230713113814.0 952 $l NYPE343 $d 20230627010402.0 952 $l GMPD771 $d 20230210024956.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20230203020116.0 952 $l UJPE911 $d 20230124012312.0 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20221224010034.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20221202011658.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20221111010105.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20221104012155.0 952 $l TFPI826 $d 20221102011609.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20221025012533.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6D0BC4BE542A11ED8B3B8C862AECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
