Alien Identities: Exploring Differences in Film and Fiction (Film/Fiction)

Description

The new collection of specially commissioned essays in Pluto's successful Film/Fiction series: takes a lively and stimulating look at representations, mutations and adaptations of "the alien" in literature, film and television. Using notions of the alien and alienation in a broadly defined sense, the contributors cover:

* Early science fiction, from the Gothic aliens of Dracula and H.G. Wells,
* Classic fifties Cold War sci-fi movies, such as War of the
* 20th-century reworkings of various "alien" metaphors, such as the Fly movies and the Alien series, * Comic variations on the alien theme such as Mars Attacks, "race" as an alien condition, and at the use of illness and disease as a metaphor for alienation in modern film and fiction, and
* The "illegal" aliens of the present day.

Alien Identities is a timely, carefully themed and much-needed study of the increasingly popular subject of science fiction and the theme of the alien, which will appeal to students and academics alike.
