Otherworldly PoliticsThe International Relations of Star Trek, Game of Thrones, and Battlestar Galactica【電子書籍】[ Stephen Benedict Dyson ]

＜p＞In ＜em＞Otherworldly Politics＜/em＞, Stephen Benedict Dyson examines the fictional but deeply political realities of three television shows: ＜em＞Star Trek＜/em＞, ＜em＞Game of Thrones＜/em＞, and ＜em＞Battlestar Galactica.＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Dyson explains how these shows offer alternative histories and future possibilities for humanity. Fascinated by politics and history, science fiction and fantasy screenwriters and showrunners suffuse their scripts with real-world ideas of empire, war, civilization, and culture, lending episodes a compelling intricacy and contemporary resonance.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Dyson argues that science fiction and fantasy television creators share a fundamental kinship with great minds in international relations. Screenwriters like Gene Roddenberry, George R. R. Martin, and Ronald D. Moore are world-builders of no lesser creativity, Dyson argues, than theorists such as Woodrow Wilson, Kenneth Waltz, and Alexander Wendt. Each of these thinkers imagines a realm, specifies the rules of its operation, and by so doing shows us something about ourselves and how we interact with one another. Combining intellectual and real-world history with lucid theoretical analysis, the book is a vital challenge to scholars and a spur to creative thinking for fans of these three influential shows.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。
