Space Oddities: Women and Outer Space in Popular Film and Culture, 1960-2000
Autor Professor Marie Lathersen Limba Engleză Hardback – 6 ian 2011
In addition to its insightful film scholarship, this is an important addition to current reassessments of the Space Race. By applying insights from contemporary gender, race, and species theories to popular imaginings of women in space, the status of the Space Race as a cultural construct that reproduces and/or warps terrestrial gender structures is revealed.

Recenzii
Comprehensive, provocative, and sure to anger people who believe that the space movement has progressed beyond its early treatment of women as aliens in space. --Howard McCurdy, School of Public Affairs, American University and University of Washington, Author of Space and the American Imagination
"Marie Lathers' Space Oddities combines meticulous historical research of the US space program with trenchant feminist analysis of diverse material and media representations. Her account of our cultural romance with space and rocketry is incisive, witty, and engrossing in unpacking fictional and cinematic narratives connecting interplanetary space travel with ideologies of sexual difference. The book is a must read for anyone interested in the relations of gender, science, and technology." --Carol Colatrella, Professor of Literature and Cultural Studies and Co-Director of the Center for the Study of Women, Science, and Technology, Georgia Institute of Technology
