Description: Gender and Parenting in the Worlds of Alien and Blade Runner : A Feminist Analysis, Hardcover by Digioia, Amanda, ISBN 1839829419, ISBN-13 9781839829413, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US The author explores gender and parenting in the worlds of Alien and Bladerunner, focusing on imagined communities, the objectification of women, and depictions of birth, motherhood, and fatherhood from a feminist perspective. She discusses how the films are science fiction works with elements of horror; gender and sex in Bladerunner 2049 and how it is a social construct, as well as how the film reinforces patriarchal myths about gender and power; how the female hero in Alien, Prometheus, and Alien: Covenant has shifted from a place of gender equality to one where women lack agency and are dismembered or slaughtered nude in order to satisfy the male gaze, as well as why extraterrestrial life forms discovered by the crew in Prometheus look vaginal; and birth and parenthood by a synthetic replicant in Bladerunner 2049. She ends with discussion of her own experiences of cancer, infertility, and gender-based medical treatment in relation to the fictional world of Alien.
