ALIEN Ripley Et Les Figures De L'altérité Depuis Bientôt Quarante
ALIEN Ripley et les figures de l’altérité Depuis bientôt quarante ans, l’influence d’Alien (Ridley Scott, 1979) sur la culture populaire ne s’est jamais démentie, comme en témoignent ses trois suites (Aliens, James Cameron, 1986 ; Alien3, David Fincher, 1992 ; Alien, la résurrection, Jean-Pierre Jeunet, 1997), ses deux prequels (Prometheus, 2012 ; Alien : Covenant, 2017), réalisés par Ridley Scott lui- même, ses crossovers (Alien vs. Predator, Paul W. S. Anderson, 2004 ; Aliens vs. Predator : Requiem, Colin et Greg Strause, 2007), mais aussi les nombreuses novélisations, bandes dessinées et autres jeux vidéos qui en ont été tirés. Or, ce modèle de réussite hollywoodienne, fruit d’un véritable travail collectif et d’une exceptionnelle adjonction de talents – Dan O’Bannon, Walter Hill et David Giler au scénario, Jerry Goldsmith à la musique, Hans Ruedi Giger pour le design de la créature, ou encore Jean Giraud (Mœbius) pour celui des combinaisons spatiales –, dont l’ambition initiale était de tirer bénéfice du regain d’intérêt pour le cinéma de genre provoqué par les succès des Dents de la mer (Steven Spielberg, 1975) et de Star Wars (George Lucas, 1977), a également suscité, au fil des décennies, de multiples lectures savantes : mythologiques, psychanalytiques, politiques ou féministes… Sans doute est-ce parce que cette formidable machine à faire peur, à l’image de son monstre composite, mêle inextricablement les genres (science-fiction, horreur gothique, thriller conspirationniste) et les thèmes (la biologie évolutive, l’intelligence artificielle, le néolibéralisme, la condition féminine dans une société masculiniste, la sexualité et la maternité) pour mieux confronter les pauvres représentants d’une humanité ordinaire à une altérité radicale et surhumaine – laquelle ne prend d’ailleurs pas seulement le « visage » de l’extraterrestre, mais aussi ceux d’un androïde (Ash) et d’un ordinateur de bord (Mother) – et pour faire naître de cette confrontation l’un des personnages féminins les plus intéressants du cinéma américain postmoderne : Ellen L. -

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. -

Aliens” (1986) – Superior Sequel to the Original Source
“Aliens” (1986) – Superior Sequel to the Original Source Retrospective by Dr. John L. Flynn Introduction At first glance, the notion of a sequel to “Alien” (1979) must have seemed like such a forgone conclusion. Next to “Star Wars” (1977) and “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” (1977), Ridley Scott’s stylish thriller had been one of the most popular films of the decade. But in the six years since its release, the motion picture had also spawned a rash of forgettable clones. And in a period filled with sequels to almost every successful and popular Hollywood movie that rarely succeeded on their own merit as original entertainment, the new production appeared to be more of a tremendous gamble than a sure thing. Besides the challenge to bring something familiar and new under budget and on time to the screen, the project also had to deal with its share of preconceptions. The most obvious problem writer and director James Cameron faced in developing a sequel to “Alien,” he said, was, “How do you beat a classic? You really have to dig deep into the bag of tricks and come up with some good ideas. And you have to do a proper homage to the original without being a mindless fan, something which is a piece of entertainment and a story in its own right.” Spawning the Sequel In the wake of “Alien’s” success, many similar films soon began appearing at the local multi-plex. Just as it had been influenced by low budget science fiction films of the Fifties and Sixties, like “It! The Terror from Beyond Space” (1958) and “Planet of the Vampires” (1965), the critically-acclaimed motion picture inspired its own collection of imitators, including “Inseminoid” (1980), ‘The Creature Wasn’t Nice” (1981), “Galaxina” (1981), “Galaxy of Terror” (1981) and many others. -

From the moment the first installment burst onto our movie screens in 1979, scholars have attempted to unpack and decode the latent and manifest sociocultural meanings embedded within this seminal series of cinematic horror. Studies have built a rich tapestry of understanding, exploring the franchise via lenses such as the monstrous mother (Creed; Kember; Newton); abjection (Kristeva); dreadful architectures (Benson-Allott); infertility (Grech et al.); gender inversions, male-birthing and the feminization of the hero (Greenberg; Kavanagh; Luckhurst); a- sexuality (Dervin); post-humanism and sexual violence (Hurley); as well as human, technological and environmental hybridity (Littau). -
