Abstract:In this article I examine films such as The Cloverfield Paradox, One Under the Sun and The Space Between Us, as well as television series such as Extant and The 100, to argue that, in parallel to revisions of masculinist Anthropocene discourse, the increase in female astronauts in contemporary sf has revised the notion of who is capable of political agency and intervention by seeing life on an ecologically troubled Earth from an expansive spatial and temporal perspective. The recent increase of female astronauts on screen, including women of colour, suggests a political reconfiguration of agency in the current geological epoch called the Anthropocene. However, at the same time, contemporary sf film and television is populated by female astronauts who are grieving a lost or dying child, are infertile, or give birth to alien or monstrous children. As I will argue, the failure of procreation is projected onto anxieties about the Earth’s increasing inability to sustain life on Earth. There is, then, a deep ambivalence about the views of the Earth as witnessed by female astronauts – both a progressive political gesture within Anthropocene politics and a perpetuation of the displacement of cultural anxieties onto the female body.

Abstract:The figure of the astronaut mother in sf represents a site of confluence between the seemingly incompatible cultural ideals and archetypes of the astronaut and the mother. These two identities are perceived to exist on opposite ends of the continuum between traditional binary conceptions of science and nature, masculinity and femininity, rationality and irrationality, detachment and attachment, technology and biology, and of course – space and the Earth. Contemporary sf stories struggle to merge these identities without breaking the mother in the process of making her an astronaut. In order to explore the complexities of the astronaut-mother figure, this article provides a close reading of four female astronaut characters in sf whose motherhood stories are constructed in strikingly similar ways: Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) in James Cameron’s special edition of Aliens (1992), Dr Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock) in Alfonso Cuarón’s Gravity (2013), Dr Molly Woods (Halle Berry) in the television series Extant (2014–15) and Ava Hamilton (Gugu Mbatha-Raw) in The Cloverfield Paradox (2018). Each of these narratives features a female protagonist who goes to space, whose job is the impetus for her space journey, and whose backstory features a dead child.
