Author Michael Lechuga focuses on three arenas where a citizenship control assemblage manufactures alienhood: Hollywood extraterrestrial invasion film, federal antimigration and border security legislation, and various immigration enforcement protocols implemented along the Mexico-United States border. Building on rhetorical studies, settler colonial studies, and media studies, Visions of Invasion offers a glimpse at how the processes of alien-making contribute to an ongoing settler colonial project in the US. Lechuga demonstrates that popular films-The War of the Worlds, Predator, Men in Black, and more-participate in the production of migrants as subjective terrorists, felons, and other noncitizen personae vilified in public discourse. Beyond just tracing how alien invasion narratives circulate in popular media, Lechuga describes how the logics motivating early US colonists materialize in both the US's citizenship control policy and in some of the country's most popular texts. Beneath each of the film franchises and antimigrant political expressions described in Visions of Invasion lies an anxious colonial logic in which the settler way of life is seemingly threated by false narratives of imminent invasion from abroad. The volume offers a deep dive into how the rhetorical figure of the alien has been manufactured through media and surveillance technologies as a political subjectivity, one that plays out the anxieties, guilts, and fears of colonialism in today's science fiction landscape"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Introduction -- The War of the Worlds and alien making -- Predator assemblages -- Men in Black assemblages -- Sleep Dealer, nomadic assemblages, and deterritorializations -- Conclusion. 650 0 $a Citizenship in motion pictures. 650 0 $a Immigrants in motion pictures. 650 0 $a Extraterrestrial beings in motion pictures. 650 0 $a Criticism. 650 7 $a Citizenship in motion pictures. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01902800 650 7 $a Criticism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00883735 650 7 $a Extraterrestrial beings in motion pictures. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01903185 650 7 $a Immigrants in motion pictures. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01903569 776 08 $i Online version: $a Lechuga, Michael. $t Visions of invasion $d Jackson : University Press of Mississippi, 2023 $z 9781496844071 $w (DLC) 2022043332 830 0 $a Race, rhetoric, and media series. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117024054.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=76C1C2B6DDAE11EDB031D5162DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
