Abstract:This paper is the first academic article to offer a detailed analysis of two of Duncan Jones's sf films: Moon and Source Code. The readings explore the films' complex philosophical themes, focusing on ethics, specifically utilitarianism, and the aesthetics of the sublime. Both discourses inform the films' presentation of technology and labour within futuristic forms of late capitalism. Drawing links between the two films emphasises their shared themes of exploitation, suffering and resistance. This enables an appreciation of the complexities of Moon and provides a new way of reading Source Code, focusing on the interplay between the film's different realities rather than privileging the virtual space of the train. While the films utilise the aesthetics of the sublime, my readings will trace the ways in which they close down the possibility of transcendence, thereby relocating resistance to the system within different types of replication and repetition.

Abstract:In this article I analyse the renegotiations and re-establishments of borders between humans and hubots (humanoid robots) in the Swedish sf television series Äkta människor (Real Humans) through the concepts of trans-corporeality and recyclability, where the concept of being 'recyclable' prompts questions of life and death. The use of anthropomorphism and the recyclability of the characters paradoxically articulates sameness while referring to differences, and it suggests that humans and hubots are entangled and always composed, decomposed and recomposed by, and into, other bodies. This might have practical implications for modern society in terms of ethics and rights for anthropomorphic robots.

A lthough the last three decades have offered a growing body of scholarship on images of fantastic women in popular culture, these studies either tend to focus on one particular variety of fantastic female (the action or sci-fi heroine), or on her role in a specific genre (villain, hero, temptress). This edited collection strives to define the “Woman Fantastic” more fully. The Woman Fantastic may appear in speculative or realist settings, but her presence is always recognizable. Through futuristic contexts, fantasy worlds, alternate histories, or the display of superpowers, these insuperable women challenge the laws of physics, chemistry, and/or biology. In chapters devoted to certain television programs, adult and young adult literature, and comics, contributors discuss feminist negotiation of today’s economic and social realities. Senior scholars and rising academic stars offer compelling analyses of fantastic women from Wonder Woman and She-Hulk to Talia Al Ghul and Martha Washington; from Carrie Vaughn’s Kitty Norville series to Cinda Williams Chima’s The Seven Realms series; and from Battlestar Gallactica’s female Starbuck to Game of Thrones’ Sansa and even Elaine Barrish Hammond of USA’s Political Animals. This volume furnishes an important contribution to ongoing discussions of gender and feminism in popular culture.
尽管在过去的三十年里，人们对流行文化中的神奇女性形象提供了越来越多的研究，但这些研究要么倾向于关注一种特定类型的神奇女性（动作或科幻女主角），要么关注她在特定类型中的角色（反派、英雄、妖女）。这本经过编辑的合集力求更全面地定义“神奇女人”。《神奇女侠》可能出现在投机或现实主义的环境中，但她的存在总是可以识别的。通过未来主义的背景、幻想世界、交替的历史或超能力的展示，这些不可战胜的女性挑战了物理、化学和/或生物学的定律。在专门讨论某些电视节目、成人和青年文学以及漫画的章节中，撰稿人讨论了当今经济和社会现实的女权主义谈判。资深学者和后起之秀对神奇女侠、绿巨人、塔里娅·阿尔·古尔和玛莎·华盛顿等神奇女性进行了令人信服的分析；从Carrie Vaughn的Kitty Norville系列到Cinda Williams Chima的The Seven Realms系列；从《太空堡垒卡拉狄加》中的女星巴克到《权力的游戏》中的珊莎，甚至还有《美国政治动物》中的伊莱恩·巴里什·哈蒙德。这本书对流行文化中正在进行的性别和女权主义的讨论做出了重要贡献。
