内容説明

This volume explores the science fiction/world politics intertext. Through detailed analyses of such texts as "Blade Runner", "Stalker", "Star Trek", and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", the chapters in this volume examine the complex and sometimes contradictory relations between world politics, both as discipline and as practice, and discourses of science fiction. Offering a novel combination of popular culture analysis with major theoretical and empirical issues concerning world politics, "Science Fiction and World Politics" provides insights into the discursive constitution of both science fiction and world politics while highlighting the occasional challenges that the science fiction/world politics intertext launches at our common sense.
