Download or read book Sci Fi Film Fiesta written by Chris Christopoulos and published by Chris Christopoulos. This book was released on 2022-10-12 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is part of a series intended as a salute to the pioneering work of science fiction film makers from the ‘golden age’ of science fiction films of the 1950s. The films in this volume feature monsters that stand as metaphors for the fears of the time when people had genuine concerns about atomic power and the atom bomb’s potential for the first time in human history to bring about the end of human civilisation. For instance, in the case of Godzilla (1954) the film is an allegory for the destruction and devastation unleashed on Japan by the atomic bomb, with the 400-foot-tall mutant dinosaur Gojira, serving as the visual metaphor. Such monsters represent forces of nature awakened by human science that once brought into being cannot be controlled.

Download or read book The Mysterians written by Cress Kearny and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-08-16 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drew is not alone in his quest for dinosaurs amid the tumbled rocks and canyons of eastern Utah-rockhounds have probed these canyons and badlands for half a century and more looking for colorful scraps of agatized dinosaur bone. This time Drew finds something new but very very old: The "AO," an Alien Object from off-Earth. Drew and his two friends have no idea how to handle the discovery. The aftermath and its consequences are the story here, in particular the impact this discovery has on Drew, his sense of alienation now buttressed by his need to become as rational and objective as he believes the real aliens must've been. But where are love and friendship and commonality in such a universe? The story follows him as he slowly realizes that certain attributes are probably universal and may apply equally to intellects on other worlds. And yet although we live our own lives as individuals, they're meaningful largely because of our associations with friends, family and those around us, a very small pool in a very large universe of possibilities. Because all lives everywhere are at core a mystery experienced, the role of faith and belief will always be significant, and with these come all the contradictions and difficulties that belief always brings to self-conscious creatures. Drew's resolution is positive, as is the book's ending. Readers should keep in mind that any serious book needs critical readers looking for a bit of heavy lifting along the way, the difficulties accepted as part of their reward and a reader's contributions necessary for the story's success. Don't expect the "propulsive narrative" some novelists provide. You'll find instead an engagingly literate science fiction story about science, an Alien Object and the human heart, cross-genre speculative fiction that looks in as well as out, science fiction for the informed reader interested in geology, paleontology, philosophy, history, real science, some false-science, and a riveting intellectual yarn.

Download or read book Rock the Nation written by Roberto Avant-Mier and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2010-05-06 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rock the Nation analyzes Latino/a identity through rock 'n' roll music and its deep Latin/o history. By linking rock music to Latinos and to music from Latin America, the author argues that Latin/o music, people, and culture have been central to the development of rock music as a major popular music form, in spite of North American racial logic that marginalizes Latino/as as outsiders, foreigners, and always exotic. According to the author, the Latin/o Rock Diaspora illuminates complex identity issues and interesting paradoxes with regard to identity politics, such as nationalism. Latino/as use rock music for assimilation to mainstream North American culture, while in Latin America, rock music in Spanish is used to resist English and the hegemony of U.S. culture. Meanwhile, singing in English and adopting U.S. popular culture allows youth to resist the hegemonic nationalisms of their own countries. Thus, throughout the Americas, Latino/as utilize rock music for assimilation to mainstream national culture(s), for resistance to the hegemony of dominant culture(s), and for mediating the negotiation of Latino/a identities.
