  • Women in Film Time: Forty Years of the Alien Series (1979–2019)
    IAFOR Journal of Arts & Humanities Volume 6 – Issue 2 – Autumn 2019 Women in Film Time: Forty Years of the Alien Series (1979–2019) Susan George, University of Delhi, India. Abstract Cultural theorists have had much to read into the Alien science fiction film series, with assessments that commonly focus on a central female ‘heroine,’ cast in narratives that hinge on themes of motherhood, female monstrosity, birth/death metaphors, empire, colony, capitalism, and so on. The films’ overarching concerns with the paradoxes of nature, culture, body and external materiality, lead us to concur with Stephen Mulhall’s conclusion that these concerns revolve around the issue of “the relation of human identity to embodiment”. This paper uses these cultural readings as an entry point for a tangential study of the Alien films centring on the subject of time. Spanning the entire series of four original films and two recent prequels, this essay questions whether the Alien series makes that cerebral effort to investigate the operations of “the feminine” through the space of horror/adventure/science fiction, and whether the films also produce any deliberate comment on either the lived experience of women’s time in these genres, or of film time in these genres as perceived by the female viewer. Keywords: Alien, SF, time, feminine, film 59 IAFOR Journal of Arts & Humanities Volume 6 – Issue 2 – Autumn 2019 Alien Films that Philosophise Ridley Scott’s 1979 S/F-horror film Alien spawned not only a remarkable forty-year cinema obsession that has resulted in six specific franchise sequels and prequels till date, but also a considerable amount of scholarly interest around the series.

  • Alien Movie Franchise
    Bellies that Go Bump in the Night The Gothic Curriculum of Essential Motherhood in the Alien Movie Franchise KELLY WALDROP The Publish House OR CENTURIES, authors and storytellers have used Gothic tales to educate readers about F all manner of subjects, but one of the most common of those subjects is the question of what it means to be human (Bronfen, 2014). The Gothic genre was born amidst the transition from the Victorian era to the Modern era with all of the attendant social and cultural changes, as well as the anxieties, that came along with those changes (Riquelme, 2014). It is a genre rooted in the exploration of anxieties regarding social and cultural change. Taking two of the earliest examples from the European Gothic tradition, Dracula (Stoker, 1897) teaches readers about the dangers of a rampant and virulent sexuality (Riquelme, 2000), while Frankenstein (Shelley, 1818) warns of both obsessiveness and pride, among many other readings of the various cultural anxieties that may be seen to be aired in these works. In these classic Gothic tales, a key focus is also the horrific results of an out-of-control and “unnatural” form of reproduction. In Dracula, part of the horror is rooted in a generative process that is outside of that of the male/female sex act that produces a child. The women in the story are either victims of the tale (Jonathan Harker’s fiancé) or are depicted as frighteningly sexual while incapable of producing what would be considered normal offspring (Dracula’s brides). In Frankenstein, likewise, the central source of horror is the product of a man usurping the “natural” order of creation.

  • Ripley Vs. the Doctor: Bfi Poll Reveals Uk's Two Favourite Sci-Fi Characters
    RIPLEY VS. THE DOCTOR: BFI POLL REVEALS UK’S TWO FAVOURITE SCI-FI CHARACTERS NOW YOU DECIDE WHO COMES OUT ON TOP Thursday 11 December 2014, London. The votes are in and the BFI today announces the final two vying to be named as the UK’s favourite Sci-Fi character of all time. The BFI launched its poll to find the nation’s favourite Sci-Fi character back in August, with the poll held as part of its major nationwide celebration of Sci-Fi on screen, DAYS OF FEAR AND WONDER, presented together with O2. Thousands of Sci-Fi fans from across the UK have so far taken part in the poll, with the front runners today named as the Alien Saga’s fierce feminist Ellen Ripley and Doctor Who’s eponymous regenerating hero, The Doctor. The final two have beaten off fierce competition from the likes of Han Solo, G’Kar, HAL 9000 and Spock in the quest to be named the UK’s number one – the full top ten can be found below. The vote reopens today, pitting these two iconic characters against one another - woman vs. man, film vs. TV – and only one can be victorious. Voting closes at Midnight on Monday 15 December and the final result will be revealed on Wednesday 17 December. Ever since he stole a Tardis and fled, the renegade Timelord known only as ‘The Doctor’ has been thrilling TV audiences and teaching children across the globe about a new kind of heroism. A time- travelling space detective who never uses violence, the BBC’s flagship character has rightly become the longest-running sci-fi hero in history.

  • Alien 3B Copy
    ISSN 1073-0427 Film and Philosophy Volume 21 2017 General Interest Edition Dan Shaw, Editor Authorial Intent, Alien3, and Thomas Wartenberg’s Alleged Necessary Condition for Films to Do Philosophy* In Tinking on Screen,1 Tomas Wartenberg formulates two variants of an imposition objection to the legitimacy of philosophical interpretations of flms. Te legitimacy question concerns whether the interpretation belongs to the flm in a way that supports a claim that flms are occasionally capable of doing philosophy in their own right, as cinematic texts. Te frst version is the general claim that all philosophical interpretations are externally motivated inventions of the philosophers, who devise them in order to enlist a flm in pursuit of some philosophical enquiry, either as an illustration or as some kind of philosophical intuition pump (Wartenberg 2007, 25). Wartenberg rightly rejects this global claim. In doing so, he distinguishes between audience-oriented interpretations of a flm, which would include the class of interpretations described above, and creator-oriented interpretations, which focus on a flm’s intended content, and which, occasionally, will include philosophical content of one sort or another. Once this possibility has been introduced, Wartenberg suggests that we should now conceive of the imposition objection not as a rejection of the very possibility of flms ever doing philosophy in their own right, but as “a regulative principle” for distinguishing appropriate from inappropriate interpretations (2007, 26). 52 It’s not clear precisely what might constitute an inappropriate external (i.e., audience-oriented) imposition of philosophical concerns onto a flm, since the external philosophical motives (or other disciplinary motives) of the authors of such interpretations can be so varied.

  • Looking at the Alien in Film and Videogames
    arts Article “Game Over, Man. Game Over”: Looking at the Alien in Film and Videogames Brendan Keogh 1,* and Darshana Jayemanne 2 1 School of Communication, Queensland University of Technology, Queensland 4001, Australia 2 School of Design and Informatics, Abertay University, DD1 1HG Dundee, UK; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 2 July 2018; Accepted: 15 August 2018; Published: 24 August 2018 Abstract: In this article we discuss videogame adaptations of the Alien series of films, in particular Alien: Colonial Marines (2013) and Alien: Isolation (2014). In comparing critical responses and developer commentary across these texts, we read the very different affective, aesthetic and socio-political readings of the titular alien character in each case. The significant differences in what it means to ‘look’ at this figure can be analyzed in terms of wider storytelling techniques that stratify remediation between film and games. Differing accounts of how storytelling techniques create intensely ‘immersive’ experiences such as horror and identification—as well as how these experiences are valued—become legible across this set of critical contexts. The concept of the ‘look’ is developed as a comparative series that enables the analysis of the affective dynamics of film and game texts in terms of gender-normative ‘technicity’, moving from the ‘mother monster’ of the original film to the ‘short controlled burst’ of the colonial marines and finally to the ‘psychopathic serendipity’ of Alien: Isolation. Keywords: Alien; videogames; film; fifth look; remediation 1. Introduction Ridley Scott’s 1979 film Alien and James Cameron’s 1986 sequel Aliens are foundational reference points for action videogames.
