(E) Andrew Ireland Created as a spinoff of Doctor Who, the BBC television series Torchwood is a unique blend of science fiction and fantasy, with much more of an adult flavor than its progenitor. With its memorable characters, adult language, subversive humor, and openly homosexual and bisexual storylines, Torchwood provides a wealth of material for scholarly analysis and debate. Using Torchwood as its focal point, this collection of essays by experts and enthusiasts provides an interpretive framework for understanding the continually developing forms and genres of contemporary television drama.

(E) Richard J. Gray II, Betty Kaklamanidou Superhero films are one of the most enduring genres of cinema, and their popularity is only increasing in the 21st century. These ten critical essays explore the phenomenon through the lenses of numerous academic disciplines, and cover topics such as the role of globalization in the formation of superhero narratives, the shifting nature of masculinity and femininity in the superhero world and the state of the genre today. Of particular interest is the way these narratives, however fantastic, abstract, futuristic or simplistic, resonate with specific events in the world and function as starting points for discussion of contemporary sociopolitical conflicts.

The Hammer studio is best known for its horror film output from the mid-1950s through the 1970s. This book lists the hundreds of actresses who appeared in those films, including ones released in the twenty-first century by a resurgent Hammer. Women working behind the scenes were just as important as the ones in front of the camera, so those women are profiled as well. Each woman's entry includes her Hammer filmography, a brief biography if available, and other film credits in the horror genre. The book is also well illustrated, including more than 60 film stills or posters. (immagine) Categoria: Books: novel/sci fi/horror

As a result, comics creators are frequently concerned about whether they are protecting themselves.

The Kaiju (strange monster or strange beast) film genre has a number of themes that go well beyond the 'big monsters stomping on cities' motif. Since the seminal King Kong (1933) and the archetypal Godzilla (1954), kaiju has mined the subject matter of science run amok, militarism, capitalism, colonialism, consumerism and pollution. This critical examination of kaiju considers the entirety of the genre-the major franchises, along with less well known films like Kronos (1957), Monsters (2010), and Pacific Rim (2013). The author examines how kaiju has crossed cultures from its original folkloric inspirations in both the U.S. and Japan and how the genre continues to reflect national values to audiences.

Alternate Worlds was first published in 1975 and became an instant classic, winning a Hugo Award the next year. This edition brings the history of science fiction up to date with a chapter covering developments over the past forty years, a period that has seen the advent of technologies only imagined in the genre's Golden Age. As a literature of change, science fiction has become increasingly meaningful, presaging dangers to humanity and, as Alvin Toffler wrote, guarding against 'the premature arrival of the future.' The world has begun to recognize science fiction in myriad ways, incorporating its visions in products, visual media and huge conventions. James Gunn describes its arc from early myth and fancy to today's complex literature, as the world itself was changed by exploration, science and technology.
