Liquid Space: Science Fiction Film and Television in the Digital Age
Author: Sean Redmond
File Type: pdf
Science fiction is perhaps the most effective genre to explore the concerns of the present whilst reflecting on the possibilities of the future. But what precisely can it tell us about present and future by setting these two timeframes in the same critical space?*ReviewIn this immersive yet critical book, Sean Redmond never forgets the structures of power behind the enticing mirrored surfaces of science fiction. A warm, generous and honest academic-poet he gently shapes our understanding by sharing his personal experiences.(Will Brooker, Kingston University author of Hunting the Dark Knight Twenty-first Century Batman) Accessible and passionately written, this is a welcome contribution to contemporary science fiction film and television theory. Especially noteworthy for its rarity and descriptive power is the absolutely terrific last chapter, devoted to close analysis of recent science fictions aesthetics of sound.(Vivian Sobchack, UCLA author of Screening Space The American Science Fiction Film) In this ground-breaking study, Sean Redmond travels to the far reaches of screen outer space, previously undiscovered and unexplored, to reveal new ways of seeing science fiction as an immersive, interactive experience at one with our digital lives. Howard Hughes, author of Outer Limits The Filmgoers Guide to the Great Science-Fiction Films # Cinema is science fiction this startling, persuasive conclusion guides Sean Redmonds enquiry into the liquid state of digital culture seen through the lenses, heard through the speakers and felt through the trackpads of science fiction film and television. From capitalism to race, surveillance to the sublime, in a brilliant constellation of close readings Redmond tracks the new heavens and hells of our compulsorily fluid condition.(Sean Cubitt, Goldsmiths, University of London) About the Author Sean Redmond is Associate Professor of Media and Communication at Deakin University, Australia. He is the author of numerous books including Blade Runner (2016), The Cinema of Takeshi Kitano Flowering Blood (2013) and Liquid Metal A Reader in Science Fiction Film (2004).
