  • 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.

  • Any Gods out There? Perceptions of Religion from Star Wars and Star Trek
    Journal of Religion & Film Volume 7 Issue 2 October 2003 Article 3 October 2003 Any Gods Out There? Perceptions of Religion from Star Wars and Star Trek John S. Schultes Vanderbilt University, [email protected] Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.unomaha.edu/jrf Recommended Citation Schultes, John S. (2003) "Any Gods Out There? Perceptions of Religion from Star Wars and Star Trek," Journal of Religion & Film: Vol. 7 : Iss. 2 , Article 3. Available at: https://digitalcommons.unomaha.edu/jrf/vol7/iss2/3 This Article is brought to you for free and open access by DigitalCommons@UNO. It has been accepted for inclusion in Journal of Religion & Film by an authorized editor of DigitalCommons@UNO. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Any Gods Out There? Perceptions of Religion from Star Wars and Star Trek Abstract Hollywood films and eligionr have an ongoing rocky relationship, especially in the realm of science fiction. A brief comparison study of the two giants of mainstream sci-fi, Star Wars and Star Trek reveals the differing attitudes toward religion expressed in the genre. Star Trek presents an evolving perspective, from critical secular humanism to begrudging personalized faith, while Star Wars presents an ambiguous mythological foundation for mystical experience that is in more ways universal. This article is available in Journal of Religion & Film: https://digitalcommons.unomaha.edu/jrf/vol7/iss2/3 Schultes: Any Gods Out There? Science Fiction has come of age in the 21st century. From its humble beginnings, "Sci- Fi" has been used to express the desires and dreams of those generations who looked up at the stars and imagined life on other planets and space travel, those who actually saw the beginning of the space age, and those who still dare to imagine a universe with wonders beyond what we have today.

Murray Abraham, narrator Welcome to the Albany Symphony’s 2020-21 Season Re-Imagined! The one thing I have missed more than anything else during the past few months has been spending time with you and our brilliant Albany Symphony musicians, discovering, exploring, and celebrating great musical works together. Our musicians and I are thrilled to be back at work, bringing you established masterpieces and gorgeous new works in the comfort and convenience of your own home. Originally conceived to showcase triumph over adversity, inspired by the example of Beethoven and his big birthday in December, our season’s programming continues to shine a light on the ways musical visionaries create great art through every season of life. We hope that each program uplifts and inspires you, and brings you some respite from the day-to-day worries of this uncertain world.

    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF FILM-VIDEO AND MEDIA STUDIES THE EVOLUTION OF UHURA: REPRESENTATIONS OF WOMEN IN TREK KRISTEN TUNNEY Fall 2010 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a baccalaureate degree in Film-Video with honors in Media Studies Reviewed and approved* by the following: Jeanne Lynn Hall Associate Professor of Communications Thesis Supervisor Barbara Bird Associate Professor of Communications Honors Adviser Paula Droege Lecturer in Philosophy Third Reader * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i Abstract: The Evolution of Uhura: Representations of Women in Trek will be a primarily textual character analysis* of the ways in which the character of Uhura has evolved and transformed over the past forty years. In the paper, I claim that Trek films have always had both positive and negative representations of women, and that ―NuTrek‖ fails and succeeds in ways that are different from but comparable to those of ―classic‖ Trek. I will devote the first half of my paper to Uhura‘s portrayal in Star Treks I through VI. The second half of my research will focus on the newest film, Star Trek (2009). I will attempt to explain the character‘s evolution as well as to critique the ways in which NuTrek featuring the Original Series characters manages to simultaneously triumph and fail at representing the true diversity of women. * my interpretation of how different characters can be ―read‖ as either positive or negative representations of gender; my own interpretation will be compared and contrasted with that of other Trek scholars, and I will be citing sources both in feminist literature and media studies literature (and some combinations) to back up my own conclusions about the films.
