The Liverpool Companion to World Science Fiction Film offers
critical insights into SF far beyond the more common Anglo-American
narratives. Contributors take either a national or transnational
approach, and stretch the geographic and conceptual boundaries of
science fiction cinema. Recurrent themes include genre discussions,
engagement with Hollywood, and the international subgenre of
science fiction parody. Chapters contain a variety of perspectives
and styles: from gender and race studies, to the eco-critical, and
the post-colonial; from the avant-garde, to socialist realism, and
the Hammer film. Edited by Sonja Fritzsche, the collection contains
fourteen chapters written by specialists from around the world.
Film traditions represented include Argentina, Australia, Brazil,
Cameroon, China, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, India,
Ireland, Italy, Japan, Kenya, Poland, the United Kingdom, and the
United States. There is also a chapter on digital shorts. From the
dinosaur myth that became Godzilla to Brazilian science fiction
comedy, from China's Death Ray to Kenya's Pumzi, this book will
broaden the horizons of scholars and students of science fiction.
