The Legacy of The X-Files examines the content and production of
the show, its reception, its use of legend and folklore, its
contemporary resonance in politics and society of the 21st century,
and its impact and legacy on film, television, the Internet and
beyond. Having converged with the early widespread use of the
Internet, The X-Files became a cultural touchstone of the 1990s,
transforming from a cult TV show into a pop cultural phenomenon by
the end of the decade. To celebrate the 30th anniversary of The
X-Files, this collection examines the content and production of the
show, its reception, its use of legend and folklore, its
contemporary resonance in politics and society of the 21st century,
and its impact and legacy on film, television, the Internet and
beyond. The series' themes of government mistrust, conspiracy,
folklore, UFOlogy, and faith are dissected and applied to how the
show spirituality resonated with post-Cold War Western society.
Contributors to this collection discuss the wide-ranging impact of
the television show in popular culture, from Mulder and Scully
'shippers' to the show's slogan entering the contemporary lexicon.
The Legacy of The X-Files serves as an all-encompassing,
multi-disciplinary, contemporary account of The X-Files, reflecting
upon critical, historical, political, and social contexts, and
featuring an in-depth and comprehensive introduction making it a
vital work for researchers and students alike.
