{"product_id":"american-science-fiction-television-and-joel-hawkes-9783031105272","title":"American Science Fiction Television and Space: Productions and (Re)Configurations (1987-2021)","description":"This collection reads the science fiction genre and television medium as examples of heterotopia (and television as science fiction technology), in which forms, processes, and productions of space and time collide - a multiplicity of spaces produced and (re)configured. The book looks to be a heterotopic production, with different chapters and \"spaces\" (of genre, production, mediums, technologies, homes, bodies, etc), reflecting, refracting, and colliding to offer insight into spatial relationships and the implications of these spaces for a society that increasingly inhabits the world through the space of the screen. A focus on American science fiction offers further spatial focus for this study - a question of geographical and cultural borders and influence not only in terms of American science fiction but American television and streaming services. The (contested) hegemonic nature of American science fiction television will be discussed alongside a nation that has significantly been understood, even produced, through the television screen. Essays will examine the various (re)configurations, or productions, of space as they collapse into the science fiction heterotopia of television since 1987, the year \u003ci\u003eStar Trek: Next Generation \u003c\/i\u003ebegan airing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joel Hawkes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3031105273\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783031105272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/06\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.18lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.75d","brand":"Joel Hawkes","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44129266598143,"sku":"9783031105272","price":159.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_30089499-ecbc-4e7e-b3da-f3d0e1047779.jpg?v=1687462956","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/american-science-fiction-television-and-joel-hawkes-9783031105272","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
