Description

Explore the evolving cultural history of the alien with Alien Chic: Posthumanism and the Other Within by Neil Badmington. Published by Routledge, this work investigates why our perceptions of extraterrestrial life have moved from fear to affection since the 1950s. By analyzing how we view the unknown, the book provides insight into how we define our own humanity and our relationships with others. Neil Badmington examines cinematic representations in iconic films like The War of the Worlds, Mars Attacks!, Mission to Mars, and Independence Day. The text connects these visual stories to deep philosophical inquiries, looking at how thinkers such as Descartes, Barthes, Freud, Lyotard, and Derrida have conceptualized the human and post-human experience. This book is an essential study for those interested in film history, cultural studies, and the concept of posthumanism. It examines the shifting boundaries of identity in an age where the distinctions between human and non-human are constantly changing. Perfect for students and readers interested in the intersection of film, philosophy, and social identity.
