Scholars have been arguing for years that Star Wars is more than
light sabers, Wookies, Millennium Falcons, and troubling familial
relationships. Star Wars is an exciting space fantasy that we can
explore from multiple academic perspectives, such as philosophy and
psychology. This volume adds to that conversation by asking, "what
would it look like if we analyzed the Star Wars universe
theologically?" In Theology and the Star Wars Universe,
contributors from various theological traditions take on this task
by exploring the nature of the Force, the spiritual role of the
Jedi, nonviolent and liberationist readings of the Franchise, and
the enduring power of hope. Written for the restless, curious
academic but accessible to diehard fans, Theology and the Star Wars
Universe is an exciting foray into the study of theology and
popular culture.
This book discusses the role of television drama series on a global
scale, analyzing these dramas across the Americas, Europe, Asia,
Australia, and Africa. Contributors consider the role of television
dramas as economically valuable cultural products and with their
depictions of gender roles, sexualities, race, cultural values,
political systems, and religious beliefs as they analyze how these
programs allow us to indulge our innate desire to share human
narratives in a way that binds us together and encourages audiences
to persevere as a community on a global scale. Contributors also go
on to explore the role of television dramas as a medium that
indulges fantasies and escapism and reckons with reality as it
allows audiences to experience emotions of happiness, sorrow, fear,
and outrage in both realistic and fantastical scenarios.
