Description: Simultaneous Worlds : Global Science Fiction Cinema, Paperback by Feeley, Jennifer L. (EDT); Wells, Sarah Ann (EDT), ISBN 0816693188, ISBN-13 9780816693184, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US The main purpose of this film studies anthology is to reframe science fiction as a world-wide genre rather than a US or English-speaking phenomenon. The co-editors are an independent scholar and a professor of Romance languages, and they have gathered contributors who represent both established academic voices in film and media studies and emerging ones. The language is formal but accessible; though theoretical concerns may dominate subject choice--there is a section on gender (women) and posthumanism, one on socialist and post-socialist film, one on alternative modernities in the Global South-descriptive and critical writing generally takes precedence over theory. Where theorists are invoked, they are often non-Western and the theories are explained and considered in relation to specific films. Most pieces here deal with films in general release, but a few look at video media and short film works. Annotation ©2016 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR ()
