This major new study offers a broad historical and theoretical reassessment of the science fiction film genre. The book explores the development of science fiction in cinema from its beginnings in early film through to recent examples of the genre. Each chapter sets analyses of chosen films within a wider historical/cultural context, while concentrating on a specific thematic issue. The book therefore presents vital and unique perspectives in its approach to the genre, which include discussion of the relevance of psychedelic imagery, the 'new woman of science', generic performance and the prevalence of 'techno-orientalism' in recent films. While American films will be one of the principle areas covered, the author also engages with a range of pertinent examples from other nations, as well as discussing the centrality of science fiction as a transnational film genre. Films discussed include The Day the Earth Stood Still, The Body Snatchers, Forbidden Planet, The Quatermass Experiment, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Demon Seed, Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Star Wars, Altered States, Alien, Blade Runner, The Brother from Another Planet, Back to the Future, The Terminator, Predator, The One, Dark City, The Matrix, Fifth Element and eXistenZ. Key Features*Thematically organised for use as a course text.*Introduces current and past theories and practices, and provides an overview of the main themes, approaches and areas of study.*Covers new and burgeoning approaches such as generic performance and aspects of postmodern identity.*Includes new interviews with some of the main practitioners in the field: Roland Emmerich, Paul Verhoeven, Ken Russell, Stan Winston, William Gibson, Brian Aldiss, Joe Morton, Dean Norris and Billy Gray.

From the ever-flowing pen of Parker Highland comes five tales for young adults that range in topic and tone from dark to bright and from fantastic to utterly real. What happens to the mind of boy facing real horror? What goes through the mind of a girl just existing? What kind of an epic battle is really possible to win? Five stories that are certain to touch, move, and in some cases even anger. 1. BATTLE AT GRENOBLE: Young Adult Fantasy Tale The Pauper district has been burned to the ground except for a few houses on the outskirts of town. However, amongst the rubble still stands the Elsinige Cathedral, where the young Lord Jean Krell and his first Knight Pierre, fought a battle against Lord Rismund Krell. The eldest brother Rismund, has sold his soul to the black arts of sorcery and alchemy, and in order to have immortality, he must kill his younger brother. During the first battle, all of Jean Krell’s men fought bravely and lost their lives, except for Sir Pierre. How will the young Lord and his first knight defeat the heartless monster and his evil minions when they return for blood? 2. FROZEN IN TIME: Young Adult Tale of Mystery and Suspense Two boys, Stew and Jared set out to play on a warm, sunny day in their familiar surroundings. As they spend the day playing several “backyard games,” Jared decides to tell Stew about a voice he hears coming from the storage house, near where they were playing. They become curious and decide to listen closely and see if they might hear that same voice. The voice is now much too real for them. But together, they finally muster up the courage and face whatever it is, once and for all. Will Stew and Jared have each other’s back or is someone just playing a trick on them? But what is it that has them frozen in their steps? They are not alone, that’s for sure. 3. IN THE SHADOW OF THE INN: Young Adult Short Story A young girl finds herself in an unembellished motel, where people such as tourists check in and out daily. She takes a look around at her surroundings and ponders at the idea of how she got to The Sandalwood Motel in the first place. She wonders how she became so comfortable in a clearly unordinary place. Some of which call it paradise and others a sleazy motel. She struggles to find meaning in her life and in the life others. She can’t help but to occupy her time and thoughts by examining her neighbors closely and the crazy life of many that have checked in and out of The Sandalwood Motel. 4. SCATTERED THOUGHTS: A Young Adult Short Story Donny was a projectionist at the local movie theater. The only problem was each film reel had to be started on time and time management was defiantly not his strong suit. On this particular day Donny not only was an hour and half late for his shift, but feeling a little on the disgruntle side. His employee file had already been filled with write ups and who knows what else he was doing wrong. But today was different. He felt he had a sense of seniority and let his egotistic thoughts take over the best of him. Everyone knew something was different about Donny but didn’t expect this to be his last day at work. What could have possibly sent him off the edge? 5. THE BEAST WITHIN: Young Adult Werewolf Short Story While trying to get home one night, Justin keeps hearing sounds in the distance and what should be a short walk home, changes his life forever. Justin is a high school senior and he has a secret that can’t get out, or he would be hunted for the rest of his life. He begins to notice little changes after the walk home, and can’t wait to talk to his best friend Phoebe about it. She is the only he can trust. She decides to take him away to a trusted and safe area in order to find out the truth. What will the truth bring? Will it be something that Justin and Phoebe can handle or will it be too much to keep a secret?

The human imagination manifests in countless different forms. We imagine the possible and the impossible. How do we do this so effortlessly? Why did the capacity for imagination evolve and manifest with undeniably manifold complexity uniquely in human beings? This handbook reflects on such questions by collecting perspectives on imagination from leading experts. It showcases a rich and detailed analysis on how the imagination is understood across several disciplines of study, including anthropology, archaeology, medicine, neuroscience, psychology, philosophy, and the arts. An integrated theoretical-empirical-applied picture of the field is presented, which stands to inform researchers, students, and practitioners about the issues of relevance across the board when considering the imagination. With each chapter, the nature of human imagination is examined - what it entails, how it evolved, and why it singularly defines us as a species.

Since Plato and Aristotle’s declaration of the essence of literature as imitation, western narrative has been traditionally discussed in mimetic terms. Marginalized fantasy- the deliberate from reality – has become the hidden face of fiction, identified by most critics as a minor genre. First published in 1984, this book rejects generic definitions of fantasy, arguing that it is not a separate or even separable strain in literary practice, but rather an impulse as significant as that of mimesis. Together, fantasy and mimesis are the twin impulses behind literary creation. In an analysis that ranges from the Icelandic sagas to science fiction, from Malory to pulp romance, Kathryn Hume systematically examines the various ways in which fantasy and mimesis contribute to literary representations of reality. A detailed and comprehensive title, this reissue will be of particular value to undergraduate literature students with an interest in literary genres and the centrality of literature to the creative imagination.

Published in 1904 (CW 10) "Not everyone can immediately achieve spiritual vision; but the discoveries of those who have it can be health-giving life nourishment for all. The results of supersensible knowledge, when properly employed in life, prove to be not impractical, but rather, practical in the highest sense.... The acquisition of higher knowledge is not the end, but the means to an end; the end consists in the attainment, thanks to this knowledge, of greater and truer self-confidence, a higher degree of courage, and a magnanimity and perseverance such as cannot, as a rule, be acquired in the lower world." This is the classic account of the modern Western esoteric path of initiation made public by Steiner in 1904. He begins with the premise that "the capacities by which we can gain insights into the higher worlds lie dormant within each one of us." Steiner carefully and precisely leads the reader from the cultivation of the fundamental soul attitudes of reverence and inner tranquility to the development of inner life through the stages of preparation, illumination, and initiation. Steiner provides practical exercises of inner and outer observation and moral development. By patiently and persistently following his guidelines, new "organs" of soul and spirit begin to form, which reveal the contours of the higher worlds thus far concealed from us. Steiner in this important work becomes a teacher, a counselor, and a friend whose advice is practical, clear, and effective. The challenges we face in life require increasingly deeper levels of understanding, and Steiner's text helps readers to cultivate the capacities for such insights and places them at the service of humanity. This is Steiner's most essential guide to the modern path of initiation he advocated throughout his life. It has been translated into many languages and has inspired hundreds of thousands of readers around the world. How to Know Higher Worlds has been admired by some of the most brilliant minds of our time. "The methods by which a student is prepared for the reception of higher knowledge are minutely prescribed. The direction he is to take is traced with unfading, everlasting letters in the worlds of the spirit where the initiates guard the higher secrets. In ancient times, anterior to our history, the temples of the spirit were also outwardly visible; today, because our life has become so unspiritual, they are not to be found in the world visible to external sight; yet they are present spiritually everywhere, and all who seek may find them." Knowledge of the Higher Worlds and Its Attainment is a translation from German of the written work Wie erlangt man Erkenntnisse der höheren Welten? (GA 10).

An amazing journey through the thriving worlds of fantasy and gaming What could one man find if he embarked on a journey through fantasy world after fantasy world? In an enthralling blend of travelogue, pop culture analysis, and memoir, forty-year-old former D&D addict Ethan Gilsdorf crisscrosses America, the world, and other worlds—from Boston to New Zealand, and Planet Earth to the realm of Aggramar. “For anyone who has ever spent time within imaginary realms, the book will speak volumes. For those who have not, it will educate and enlighten.” —Wired.com “Gandalf's got nothing on Ethan Gilsdorf, except for maybe the monster white beard. In his new book, Fantasy Freaks and Gaming Geeks, Gilsdorf . . . offers an epic quest for reality within a realm of magic.” —Boston Globe “Imagine this: Lord of the Rings meets Jack Kerouac's On the Road.” —National Public Radio's “Around and About” “What does it mean to be a geek? . . . Fantasy Freaks and Gaming Geeks tackles that question with strength and dexterity. . . . part personal odyssey, part medieval mid-life crisis, and part wide-ranging survey of all things freaky and geeky . . . playful . . . funny and poignant. . . . It's a fun ride and it poses a question that goes to the very heart of fantasy, namely: What does the urge to become someone else tell us about ourselves?” —Huffington Post

From smartphones to social media, from streaming videos to fitness bands, our devices bring us information and entertainment all day long, forming an intimate part of our lives. Their ubiquity represents a major shift in human experience, and although we often hold our devices dear, we do not always fully appreciate how their nearly constant presence can influence our lives for better and for worse. In this revised and expanded edition of How Fantasy Becomes Reality, social psychologist Karen E. Dill-Shackleford explains what the latest science tells us about how our devices influence our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In engaging, conversational prose, she discusses both the benefits and the risks that come with our current level of media saturation. The wide-ranging conversation explores Avatar, Mad Men, Grand Theft Auto, and Comic Con to address critical issues such as media violence, portrayals of social groups, political coverage, and fandom. Her conclusions will empower readers to make our favorite sources of entertainment and information work for us and not against us.
