Subject: SOUND; SCIENCE-FICTION FILMS; SOUND SYSTEMS; DOLBY SYSTEM
Summary: This thesis examines the aesthetics and ideology of the recent wave of so-called "immersive" sound formats designed for cinematic exhibition. Focusing on the Dolby Atmos format, this paper contextualizes contemporary audiovisual aesthetics within the cultural, industrial, and technological history of American cinematic sound, and argues that Atmos forecloses possibilities for sonic experimentation by forcing strict adherence to current spatially based conventions for cinematic realism. Formal analysis of recent science fiction films--including Guardians of the Galaxy, Transformers: Age of Extinction, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles--reveals the tension between the purported mimetic naturalism of immersive sound and the irreal Atmos soundtracks of contemporary Hollywood spectacles.
Contents: Introduction -- Understanding Atmos: Decoding Immersive Sound -- The Sound of science (Fiction): Listening to Atmos -- Conclusion: Cultural Resonances

Summary: "How do we define the globalized cinema and media cultures of Bollywood in an age when it has become part of the cultural diplomacy of an emerging superpower? Is it still an 'other' industry in a world dominated by American Cinemas? Bollywood and Its Other(s) aims to compensate for the lack of scholarly literature on Bollywood studies by opening up hitherto unexplored sites or sites that are in formation. One of the most comprehensive volumes on Bollywood so far, it focuses on the aesthetic-philosophical questions of the other, Indian diaspora's negotiations with national identity, alternative reading strategies/research methods, marginal genres (sci-fi, horror), marginal characters (flaneuse, vamps), marginal gender (non-normative sexualities), marginal cinema (Hindi avant-garde), marginal language (Hinglish), and marginal regions (the Kashmir valley). It intends to address film scholars, South Asian studies researchers, cinephiles and lay readers alike.- BOOK BLURB

Summary: "The love affair between humans and the machines that have made us faster and more powerful has expanded into cyberspace, where computer technology seems to offer both the promise of heightened erotic fulfilment and the threat of human obsolescence. In this pathfinding study, Claudia Springer explores the techno-erotic imagery in recent films, cyberpunk fiction, comic books, television, software, and writing on virtual reality and artificial intelligence to reveal how these futuristic images actually encode current debates concerning gender roles and sexuality." -- BOOK BLURB

Summary: "In this book Carlos Clarens, author of Crime Movies (also available from Da Capo Press), George Cukor, and many articles in film magazines, brings his encyclopedic knowledge of films and filmmakers to the subject of horror and science-fiction films of the classic era. Whether discussing the erotic aspects of King Kong, examining the works of Val Lewton, contrasting the director's attitude toward the monster in Frankenstein and The Bride of Frankenstein, accounting for the special genius of Lon Chaney, or comparing the various versions of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Clarens entertains as he enlightens. Supplemented with a new introduction by J. Hoberman, Village Voice film critic and coauthor of Midnight Movies (also available from Da Capo Press), and an extensive filmography listing complete credits for over 300 films, this fascinating study illuminates both the genre and the reasons for its popularity." -- taken from back cover

Summary: " During its fourth and final season - for the present - Farscape was the Science Fiction Channel's highest rating original series, and with its dedicated fan-base, Farscape seasons are still top-billing Science Fiction DVDs. Jes Battis offers the first critical reading of Farscape's imaginative worlds and its characters, from Crichton, D'Argo, Zhaan, Rygel, Chiana and Scorpius, to Pilot and Moya herself. He prposes that Farscape is as much about bodies, sex and gender as it is about wormholes, space ships, and interstellar warfare. It is this straddling of of genres that makes the show so viewable to such a broad audience, of which almost half are women. Taking in a diverse spectrum of social issues within SF, including racism, imperialism and inter-species ex, he asks what does it mean to be 'human' or 'alien' within the uncharted territories of Farscape's universe? Who are the anthropologists and who are the extraterrestrials? How does John Crichton, a 'lost' astronaut, discover a new home aboard Moya, and what seperates Crichton from his SF predecessors? This exciting and original book features a detailed Lexicon of Farscape's alien languages. It reveals how the show both parodies and surpasses other SF shows like Star Trek and Babylon 5 and why TV Guide calls it 'one of the sexiest and most irreveerant sci-fi shows on television" -- BOOK BLURB

Summary: "With They Live, Jonathon Lethem takes a close look at John Carpenter's 1988 classic amalgam of deliberate B-movie, sci-fi, horror, anti-yuppie agitprop. Lethem exfoliates Carpenter's paranoid satire in a series of penetrating, free-associational forays into the context of a story that peels the human masks off the ghoulish overlords of capitalism. His reel of reference spans classic Hollwood cinema and science fiction, as well as popular music and contemporary art and theory. Taking into consideration the work of Barbara Kruger, Jenny Holzer, James Brown, Frederic Jameson, Shepard Fairy, Philip K. Dick, Alfred Hitchcock, and Edgar Allen Poe, not to mention the role of wrestlers- including They Live star "Rowdy" Roddy piper - in contemporary culture, Lethem's They Live provides a wholly original perspective on Carpenter's subversive classic" --BOOK BLURB

Summary: " In The X-Men Films: A Cultural Analysis, Claudia Bucciferro has assembled a collection of essays that draw from work in communication, cultural studies, and media studies. With contributions from a diverse group of scholars, the chapters analyze issues that include gender, sexuality, disability, class, and race. The contributors pose intriguing questions about the franchise, such as: What do “mutants” really represent? What role do women and people of color play in the narratives? Why does it matter that Professor X is disabled? Why is Mystique often shown naked? What facilitated Wolverine’s rise to prominence? And how do topics regarding identity, trauma, and bioethics, figure in the stories? Exploring issues relevant for a multicultural world and connecting thematic elements from the films to political debates and social struggles, the book seeks to make a thoughtful contribution to the scholarship of popular culture. The X-Men Films will appeal to media scholars and students, as well as to anyone interested in the X-Men series." -- BOOK BLURB
