Investigating Firefly and Serenity
Author: Rhonda Wilcox
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 0857713663
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
Joss Whedon, probably the first recognised TV auteur, who brought us Buffy and Angel, is also the creator of the remarkable space Western "Firefly" and the major Firefly film "Serenity". "Firefly" ran for twelve hour-long episodes in 2002 before being cancelled by the network. But this premature burial had an extraordinary outcome: the fans - self-named Browncoats - just kept multiplying, buying the dvds, keeping the show alive with blogs, fan fiction, podcasts, their own films, meetings, conferences; their numbers increased when the major Firefly motion picture 'Serenity' was released in 2005.This book is the definitive one on both "Firefly" and "Serenity". It is ambitious, in-depth and comprehensive, covering all aspects, from detailed chapters on scenes and themes, through explorations of the music, the characters, actors and fans. It is written by over 20 of the best US and international Whedon scholars, tv and film critics and writers. It's the must-have book for followers of Whedon and his works and for students of quality and cult tv.

ISBN: 1387676156
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 62
Book Description
Everyone needs a set of rules to live by - many of them are born out of experience. Da Rules came about from things I learned while transitioning. This original idea came from an episode of Star Trek: the next generation. In this episode, a character had a running list of rules she had made as a result of experiences, both good and bad. I thought that was a great idea! Da Rules started to grow quickly once I started working on my memoir, You Can't Shave In A Minimart Bathroom. Reading through the rules gives a peek into my world from Halloween 2003 to today, March 2018. How my world has changed! I started out as confused, but accepting that I was transgender. From there, it was a perpetual state of crisis caused by Puberty 2.0 and having to move 7 times in 22 months. Finally, to being an activist, public speaker, and becoming active in politics.

Gender, Race, and American Science Fiction
Author: Jason Haslam
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317574249
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 245
Book Description
This book focuses on the interplay of gender, race, and their representation in American science fiction, from the nineteenth-century through to the twenty-first, and across a number of forms including literature and film. Haslam explores the reasons why SF provides such a rich medium for both the preservation of and challenges to dominant mythologies of gender and race. Defining SF linguistically and culturally, the study argues that this mode is not only able to illuminate the cultural and social histories of gender and race, but so too can it intervene in those histories, and highlight the ruptures present within them. The volume moves between material history and the linguistic nature of SF fantasies, from the specifics of race and gender at different points in American history to larger analyses of the socio-cultural functions of such identity categories. SF has already become central to discussions of humanity in the global capitalist age, and is increasingly the focus of feminist and critical race studies; in combining these earlier approaches, this book goes further, to demonstrate why SF must become central to our discussions of identity writ large, of the possibilities and failings of the human —past, present, and future. Focusing on the interplay of whiteness and its various 'others' in relation to competing gender constructs, chapters analyze works by Nathaniel Hawthorne, Mary E. Bradley Lane, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Philip Francis Nowlan, George S. Schuyler and the Wachowskis, Frank Herbert, William Gibson, and Octavia Butler. Academics and students interested in the study of Science Fiction, American literature and culture, and Whiteness Studies, as well as those engaged in critical gender and race studies, will find this volume invaluable.

After the Second Fall, the Sorcēarians brought hope and peace to the people of Earth.

As corruption spread through Ives, threatening war on their doorstep, he also discovered that the most brutal battles are sometimes within oneself. Follow the critical moments of Dovian’s life leading to the destruction of his civilization in this prequel to the Esoteric Design series.
