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 BLURBNotes: Includes bibliographical references and indexISBN: 9781442265332Contents: -- acknowledgments -- introduction / Claudia Bucciferro -- part I Utopian and Immersive Experiences -- 1: Mutopia: American Utopianism and the Mutant Superhero / Matt Yockey -- 2: The Immersive Marketing Campaign for X-Men: Days of Future Past / Nicolo Gallio -- part: II Agency and Authority -- 3: Superhuman Authority: Fascism and Bioethics in the X-Men Films / Evan Hayles Gledhill -- 4: Magneto's Dilemma: The Technological Limitations of Mutant Transhumanism / Ron Von Burg and D.
