Alien Imaginations brings together canonical and contemporary works in the cinema and literature of science fiction, transnationalism, and globalization in order to examine the role of the alien as well as the realities of migration, labor, and life in the twenty-first century. The essays in this collection discuss films such as District 9, Avatar, and Code 46, as well as novels by H.G. Wells, Philip K. Dick, or Ray Bradbury. As we continue down the road to a global economy and culture, Alien Imaginations offers a critical reflection upon our 'imagined realities' while also turning to speculative fiction and cinema to provide us with examples of resistance, if not a utopian horizon"-- Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Science fiction films $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Science fiction, American $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Science fiction, English $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Alienation (Social psychology) in motion pictures. 650 0 $a Alienation (Social psychology) in literature. 650 7 $a PERFORMING ARTS / Film & Video / History & Criticism. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a LITERARY CRITICISM / Science Fiction & Fantasy. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE / Colonialism & Post-Colonialism. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Alienation (Social psychology) in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00805273 650 7 $a Alienation (Social psychology) in motion pictures. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00805274 650 7 $a Science fiction, American. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01108635 650 7 $a Science fiction, English. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01108670 650 7 $a Science fiction films. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01108616 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 700 1 $a KuÌchler, Ulrike, $e editor. 700 1 $a Maehl, Silja, $e editor. 700 1 $a Stout, Graeme A., $e editor. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20171227014604.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A7896A84F2F211E49475ABD7DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
