Fisher's entangled relationship with the iconic Princess Leia is a focal point of this volume. Editors Linda Mizejewski and Tanya D. Zuk have assembled a collection that engages with the multiple interfaces between Fisher's most famous character and her other life-giving work. The contributors offer insights into Fisher as science-fiction idol, author, feminist inspiration, and Lucasfilm commodity. Jennifer M. Fogel examines the thorny "ownership" of Fisher's image as a conflation of fan nostalgia, merchandise commodity, and eventually, feminist icon. Philipp Dominik Keidl looks at how Carrie Fisher and her iconic character are positioned within the male-centric history of Star Wars. Andrew Kemp-Wilcox researches the 2016 controversy over a virtual Princess Leia that emerged after Carrie Fisher's death. Tanya D. Zuk investigates the use of Princess Leia and Carrie images during the Women's March as memetic reconfigurations of historical propaganda to leverage political and fannish ideological positions. Linda Mizejewski explores Carrie Fisher's autobiographical writing, while Ken Feil takes a look at Fisher's playful blurring of truth and fiction in her screenplays. Kristen Anderson Wagner identifies Fisher's use of humor and anger to challenge public expectations for older actresses. Cynthia Hoffner and Sejung Park highlight Fisher's mental health advocacy, and Slade Kinnecott personalizes how Fisher's candidness and guidance about mental health were especially cherished by those who lacked a support system in their own lives. Our Blessed Rebel Queen is distinct in its interdisciplinary approach, drawing from a variety of methodologies and theoretical frameworks. Longtime fans of Carrie Fisher and her body of work will welcome this smart and thoughtful tribute to a multimedia legend."--Publisher's description. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 267-294), filmography (pages 247-265), and index. 600 10 $a Fisher, Carrie. 600 10 $a Fisher, Carrie $x Political and social views. 600 10 $a Organa, Leia $c (Fictitious character) 600 17 $a Fisher, Carrie. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00193863 600 17 $a Organa, Leia $c (Fictitious character) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00995975 650 0 $a Motion picture actors and actresses $z United States. 650 0 $a Fame. 650 0 $a Feminism $z United States. 650 0 $a Feminism and motion pictures. 650 7 $a Motion picture actors and actresses. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01027096 650 7 $a Political and social views. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01353986 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Essays. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Mizejewski, Linda, $e editor. 700 1 $a Zuk, Tanya D., $e editor. 830 0 $a Contemporary approaches to film and media series. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117011813.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=21B875CA78F711ECAF30597D2FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
