Empire Triumphant: Race, Religion and Rebellion in the Star Wars Films
ISBN: 9780786422197 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. George Lucas's first Star Wars trilogy shows the influences of its era; Cold War tension is evident in its theme of rebellion against totalitarianism. Recent entries in the Star Wars saga--The Phantom Menace (1999) and Attack of the Clones (2002)--are much more concerned with evil corporations, terrorists, and the corruption of the political process. Each film is influenced by the times in which it was released, but also by cultural subtexts and by other films that had direct and indirect effects on Lucas as writer, producer, and director. This work focuses on all six Star...

The Theology of Battlestar Galactica: American Christianity in the 2004-2009 Television Series
ISBN: 9780786465507 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 219 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Although the reimagined television series Battlestar Galactica, which aired from 2005 to 2009 on the Sci Fi Channel, features religion and theology among its central concerns, the series does not simply use its myriad faiths as plot devices or background material. Battlestar Galactica is, in and of itself, a theological text. Over the course of 87 episodes and two television movies, the series' narrative arc explores the meanings of salvation, prophecy, exile, apocalypse, resurrection, and messianism, and clearly demonstrates the working of a divine will in a material world. This study offers...

Back from the Dead: Remakes of the Romero Zombie Films as Markers of Their Times
ISBN: 9780786446421 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Since 1968, the name of motion picture director George Romero has been synonymous with the living dead. His landmark film Night of the Living Dead formed the paradigm of modern zombie cinema; often cited as a metaphor for America during the Vietnam War and the Civil Rights movement, the film used the tenets of the drive-in horror movie genre to engage the sociophobics of late-1960s culture. In the years following Night of the Living Dead, George Romero has created five more zombie films, and other directors, including Tom Savini and Steve Miner, have subsequently remade Romero's movies. This...

Many playwrights, authors, poets and historians have used images, metaphors and references to and from Greek tragedy, myth and epic to describe the African experience in the New World. The complex relationship between ancient Greek tragedy and modern African American theatre is primarily rooted in America, where the connection between ancient Greece and ancient Africa is explored and debated the most. The different ways in which Greek tragedy has been used by playwrights, directors and others to represent and define African American history and identity are explored in this work. Two models...

Theatre and the Macabre
ISBN: 9781786838452 / Angielski / Miękka / 2022 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The 'macabre', as a process and product, has been haunting the theatre - and more broadly, performance - for thousands of years. In its embodied meditations on death and dying, its thematic and aesthetic grotesquerie, and its sensory-rich environments, macabre theatre invites artists and audiences to trace the stranger, darker contours of human existence. In this volume, numerous scholars explore the morbid and gruesome onstage, from freak shows to the French Grand Guignol; from Hell Houses to German Trauerspiel; from immersive theatre to dark tourism, stopping along the way to look at...
