In the classics of science fiction cinema, humanity is nearly always represented by a male, and until recently, a white male. Spanning landmark American films from Blade Runner to Avatar, this major new study offers the first ever analysis of masculinity in science fiction cinema. It uncovers the evolution of masculine heroes from the 1980s until the present day, and the roles played by their feminine counterparts. Considering gender alongside racial and class politics, Masculinity in Contemporary Science Fiction Cinema also situates filmic examples within the broader culture. It is indispensable for understanding science fiction and its role in contemporary cultural politics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marianne Kac-Vergne\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 178076748X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781780767482\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e I.
