商品簡介
"This study seeks to establish a panethnic approach to science fiction that reads mainstream cyberfiction and American Mexican, Asian, and Caribbean literature together, arguing that these exemplary selections negotiate cultural values, norms, and mechanisms that allow us to draw conclusions about American cultural discourses about the relationships between bodies and technologies." So states Goergi (Johannes Gutenberg-University Mainz) in her introduction. This is a highly nuanced scholarly treatment--applying postcolonial theory to investigate science fiction literature and film in the Americas. Among the works under discussion: The Brick People, The Rag Doll Plagues, When Fox is a Thousand, Salt Fish Girl, Brown Girl in the Ring, Midnight Robber, Blade Runner, Neuromancer, and The Matrix trilogy. The volume is not indexed. Annotation c2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
