This is a lively and stimulating look at representations, mutations
and adaptations of 'the alien' in literature, film and television.
Using notions of the alien and alienation in a broadly defined
sense, the contributors cover early science fiction, from the
gothic aliens of Dracula and H.G. Wells, to the classic fifties
Cold War sci-fi movies, such as War of the Worlds,
twentieth-century reworkings of various 'alien' metaphors, such as
The Fly movies and the Alien series, and comic variations on the
theme such as Mars Attacks. Moving beyond the conventional genre
boundaries of the alien, particular essays look, too, at 'race' as
an alien condition, and at the use of illness and disease as a
metaphor for alienation in modern film and fiction.
