    W. A. McCay Chains of Command While exploring a group of devastated class-M planets in a remote sector of space, the crew of the U.S.S. "Enterprise (TM) " is shocked to discover a group of human slaves on a forbidding, glacial world. When the slaves revolt against their human overseers, Captain Picard, and his crew sympathize with the slaves’ plight but cannot interfere in the conflict. After the revolt is a success, Captain Picard learns that both the slaves and the overseers were controlled by a mysterious bird-like race called the Tseetsk, who are coming to reclaim their property. With the time running out, the rebels kidnap Captain Picard and Counsellor Troi -- drawing the U.S.S. "Enterprise" into the middle of their deadly plan of vengeance. ( AS THE AWAY TEAM winked into existence on the planet’s surface, the luxuriant undergrowth stirred, riffled by a gentle breeze. Commander William Riker saw the leaves shiver in the gust, but he couldn’t feel it through his atmosphere suit. He glanced around. There was no sign of animal life in the pristine landscape. “No bugs,” he muttered. “Paradise for picnickers.” A laugh crackled in his ear. Riker turned and gestured impatiently at the other members of the team. “Let’s get on with the readings and samples.” He shifted uncomfortably in the suit. “Move, people, unless you want to spend your entire time planetside in these blasted things.” The young crew members burst into a flurry of activity, none of them eager to appear slow in front of their commander.

  • Representations of Masculinity in Wilbur Smith's Courtney Saga
    2 1 JUNY 2000 -j •& ?3 32- Representations of Masculinity in Wilbur Smith's Courtney Saga. Contextual Causes and Strategies of Authorial Control i* Mi, M. Isabel Santaulària i Capdevila Courtney bodies 181 Chapter 7: Courtney bodies. Bodily perfection, strength and sexuality. Bodies with a cause 7.1. Bodily perfection: embodying the 'essential man' During the nineteenth century, and due to the development of biology, health reform, and the optimistic belief that it was within the capacity of men to improve themselves, the masculine body was elevated to a position of enormous importance. 'Body-building' came to be associated with ideals of perfection and virtue and muscular bulk in men became a highly prized cultural value. Unsurprisingly, the heroes of nineteenth century imperialist adventure narratives were portrayed as muscular and young,1 their physical perfection, bodily vigour and tanned complexion becoming an expression of their virility. The relevance of physical perfection has remained ingrained in our western society. We live in a world obsessed with images and appearances and where sheer physicality is very likely to determine successful performance in society as is exemplified by the new myth-like quality physically- perfect top models such as Naomi Campbell or Claudia Schiffer have acquired; or by the fame of actors such as Sharon Stone, Brad Pitt, Arnold Schwarzenegger or Sylvester Stallone, whose bodies more than their acting skills granted them widespread social recognition; or by the idol-like status of sport figures such as Ronaldo, Moya or Agassi who have become modern society's new demi-gods, not only admired for their sports achievements but for their bodies, which have become icons of physical perfection as can be appreciated in a recent advertising campaign for a well-known Swiss watch trade mark.
