Description

The Oxford Handbook of New Science Fiction Cinemas provides novel insight into the rapidly developing genre of science fiction. In contemporary film, science fiction is a key locus both for displaying and for imaginatively addressing social and cultural issues. Today, popular modes of this cinema have transformed the nature of the genre, directly incorporating pressing concerns about racial tensions, the environment, and gender inequality, among other cultural and social issues. This volume defines these new modes as slant forms of science fiction, changing a genre most often associated with the icons of science and technology into a substantially new range of science fiction cinemas. This handbook presents two groups of essays, both of which explore what these new science fiction cinemas address and how viewers can better navigate these films. The first group of essays provides a contextual and historical definition for a selection of slant types, featuring analyses of examples such as Afrofuturism, biopunk cinema, feminist science fiction, heterotopic spaces, and superhero cinema. The second group offers a broader theoretical vantage on some of the critical and revolutionary slants informing contemporary science fiction, including topics like bioethics, cult behaviors, gender and queer theory, and posthumanism. From exploring new theoretical approaches to highlighting new cultural attitudes, this volume presents the science fiction cinema not only as a flexible and adaptable process, but also as a reflection of contemporary culture's own evolution.
