Sexes, sexualités et relations sexuelles dans la science-fiction
Par sa nature même, la science-fiction est un terrain parfait pour aborder toutes les questions autour du sexe, de la sexualité et des relations sexuelles. A travers des oeuvres littéraires, cinématographiques, graphiques et plastiques, contemporaines ou nées au cours du XXe siècle, la science-fiction reflète notre société en cours de transformation, expérimente avec nos désirs, questionne nos préjugés. Nous vivons aujourd'hui une époque où les idées d'une masculinité forte et conquérante trouvent de nombreux adeptes, jusqu'à influencer les décisions politiques, et où renaissent les batailles féministes d'antan. C'est aussi une période où les mouvements LGBTQ+ se sent...
Lieux de vie en science-fiction
Un lieu de vie peut être un espace restreint, clos et très délimité, ou il peut être aussi vaste que l'univers. Pourtant, il ne se limite pas à un espace géographique, il est aussi, parfois, un espace plus abstrait uniquement délimité par des liens sociaux. Enfin, il peut aussi être virtuel, fantasmé ou vécu comme tel. Les textes rassemblés dans cet ouvrage offrent des regards croisés sur les manières dont la science-fiction (quels que soient ses formes et supports) comprend et utilise la notion de « lieux de vie » pour la redéfinir, l'interroger et porter un autre regard sur notre monde dans ses différentes dimensions (sociale, politique, architecturale, urbaine, etc.).

Blockbuster History in the New Russia
Seeking to rebuild the Russian film industry after its post-Soviet collapse, directors and producers sparked a revival of nationalist and patriotic sentiment by applying Hollywood techniques to themes drawn from Russian history. Unsettled by the government's move toward market capitalism, Russians embraced these historical blockbusters, packing the American-style multiplexes that sprouted across the country. Stephen M. Norris examines the connections among cinema, politics, economics, history, and patriotism in the creation of "blockbuster history"—the adaptation of an American cinematic style to Russian historical epics.
