Book Synopsis Where No Man has Gone Before by : Lucie Armitt
Download or read book Where No Man has Gone Before written by Lucie Armitt and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-11-12 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do women writers use science fiction to challenge assumptions about the genre and its representations of women? To what extent is the increasing number of women writing science fiction reformulating the expectations of readers and critics? What has been the effect of this phenomenon upon the academic establishment and the publishing industry? These are just some of the questions addressed by this collection of original essays by women writers, readers and critics of the genre. But the undoubted existence of a recent surge of women’s interest in science fiction is by no means the full story. From Mary Shelley onwards, women writers have played a central role in the shaping and reshaping of this genre, irrespective of its undeniably patriarchal image. Through a combination of essays on the work of writers such as Doris Lessing and Ursula Le Guin, with others on still-neglected writers such as Katherine Burdekin and C. L. Moore and a wealth of contemporaries including Suzette Elgin, Gwyneth Jones, Maureen Duffy and Josephine Saxton, this anthology takes a step towards redressing the balance. Perhaps, above all, what this collection demonstrates is that science fiction remains as particularly well-suited to the exploration of woman as ‘alien’ or ‘other’ in our culture today, as it was with the publication of Frankenstein in 1818.

Book Synopsis Where No Black Woman Has Gone Before by : Diana Adesola Mafe
Download or read book Where No Black Woman Has Gone Before written by Diana Adesola Mafe and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2018-03-01 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Lieutenant Uhura took her place on the bridge of the Starship Enterprise on Star Trek, the actress Nichelle Nichols went where no African American woman had ever gone before. Yet several decades passed before many other black women began playing significant roles in speculative (i.e., science fiction, fantasy, and horror) film and television—a troubling omission, given that these genres offer significant opportunities for reinventing social constructs such as race, gender, and class. Challenging cinema’s history of stereotyping or erasing black women on-screen, Where No Black Woman Has Gone Before showcases twenty-first-century examples that portray them as central figures of action and agency. Writing for fans as well as scholars, Diana Adesola Mafe looks at representations of black womanhood and girlhood in American and British speculative film and television, including 28 Days Later, AVP: Alien vs. Predator, Children of Men, Beasts of the Southern Wild, Firefly, and Doctor Who: Series 3. Each of these has a subversive black female character in its main cast, and Mafe draws on critical race, postcolonial, and gender theories to explore each film and show, placing the black female characters at the center of the analysis and demonstrating their agency. The first full study of black female characters in speculative film and television, Where No Black Woman Has Gone Before shows why heroines such as Lex in AVP and Zoë in Firefly are inspiring a generation of fans, just as Uhura did.

Book Synopsis Where No Doctor Has Gone Before by : Robert Huish
Download or read book Where No Doctor Has Gone Before written by Robert Huish and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 2013-09-03 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tens of thousands of people around the world die each day from causes that could have been prevented with access to affordable health care resources. In an era of unprecedented global inequity, Cuba, a small, low-income country, is making a difference by providing affordable health care to millions of marginalized people. Cuba has developed a world-class health care system that provides universal access to its own citizens while committing to one of the most extensive international health outreach campaigns in the world. The country has trained thousands of foreign medical students for free under a moral agreement that they serve desperate communities. To date, over 110,000 Cuban health care workers have served overseas. Where No Doctor Has Gone Before looks at the dynamics of Cuban medical internationalism to understand the impact of Cuba’s programs within the global health landscape. Topics addressed include the growing moral divide in equitable access to health care services, with a focus on medical tourism and Cuba’s alternative approach to this growing trend. Also discussed is the hidden curriculum in mainstream medical education that encourages graduates to seek lucrative positions rather than commit to service for the marginalized. The author shows how Cuba’s Escuela Latinoamericana de Medicina (ELAM) serves as a counter to this trend. An acknowledgement of Cuba’s tremendous commitment, the book reveals a compelling model of global health practice that not only meets the needs of the marginalized but facilitates an international culture of cooperation and solidarity.
Book Synopsis Letters From The Open Road (Vol. 1) by : Sidharth Sharotri
Download or read book Letters From The Open Road (Vol. 1) written by Sidharth Sharotri and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2023-01-05 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the completely juvenile yet brilliant mind of Sidharth Sharotri comes a compilation of his ‘serious automobile journalism’ work, which consisted of him driving posh cars and making up stories around them for newspapers. These highly technical (read: not at all technical) articles first appeared in a weekly motoring page called Honk in Deccan Chronicle and Asian Age between 2013 and 2015, which this author was exclusively entrusted with. Letters from the Open Road does exactly what his newspaper articles did – make the reader giggle a little bit while making them wonder if they should chase their own childhood dreams.
