For many viewers, it has been Star Trek's ostensible representation of a multicultural utopia that fascinated them. This book seeks to elucidate the semiotics of Star Trek's popular multiculturalism. Engaging Cultural Studies and American Studies theory, the book proceeds from a discussion of Star Trek's self-fashioning as a multicultural 'vision, ' to readings of its changing articulations of racial, ethnic, gender, and sexual difference, and concludes with case studies of two fan-communities' creative appropriations of Star Trek's promise of an egalitarian future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Katja Kanzler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3825315576\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783825315573\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Universitatsverlag Winter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/06\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 263\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Katja Kanzler","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48241664000255,"sku":"9783825315573","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_258f1325-63c6-4cf7-af04-9f22594910f9.jpg?v=1772655431","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/infinite-diversity-in-infinite-combinations-katja-kanzler-9783825315573","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
