Popular Texts in English by Antonio Ballesteros González Pdf

This book comprises a collection of articles devoted to the academic study of popular texts in English. Authors analyse genres which had been habitually looked down on by canonical approaches to literature and art. They take into serious consideration forms like horror literature, the gothic, fantasy, de-tective fiction, science fiction, best-sellers, films and television series of different kinds... among some other representations of what conservative scholars had been considering as marginal. The referential richness of the perspectives reflected here demonstrates that popular texts can be enjoyable for readers and audiences, at the same time that they can be significant in order to reach a better understanding of our culture and ourselves at the beginning of a new millennium.

Star Trek Reader's Reference by Alva Underwood Pdf

This Star Trek Reader's Reference is the first of a series of books that will provide a more thorough look at the world of the United Federation of Planets and the StarFleet that promotes exploration, first contact, and military might in an alien world peopled by Klingons, Romulans, and Hortas, to name a few. Born out of a desire to share the wealth of information the novels provide, this book offers in alphabetical order, as accurately as possible, characters, places, events, references, and allusions in the first twelve novels (1970-1979). Furthermore, it provides several attached appendices that include stardates of the novels, quotations from them, crew compliments of the Enterprise, and other related information. Knowing that others have provided volumes about the television series, the author set out to do the same for the novels. By drawing upon the wealth of the novels, amateur publications such as Ships of the Fleet by Calon Riel and the Enterprise: Officer's Manual, as well as legitimate publications such as The Making of STAR TREK by Gene Roddenberry, the author has established a resource that compliments those about the television series but does not intrude upon them. Careful to document information, this book is offered as the first step to enhancing the reading of any novel written between 1970 and 1979. Furthermore, anyone wanting to further explore this wonderful positive world, will find much in this book to enjoy, marvel over, and consider.

The Literary Galaxy of Star Trek by James F. Broderick Pdf

How is the android Data like Shakespeare's character Hamlet? Is the vengeful Khan (original series episode "Space Seed" and the film Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan) an echo of Captain Ahab in Moby Dick? The links between Star Trek and literature are vast: themes and characters that reflect those in classic literature; characters that quote literature in their dialog; and an enormous body of nonfiction books, novels, articles that have grown from the saga. Finally, like literature, Star Trek seeks to help in the human endeavor of understanding the world and its place in the universe. This book explores all of those connections. The Next Generation's Captain Picard frequently quotes Shakespeare. Captain Janeway from Voyager reenacts literature in holodeck novels. Jake Sisko, son of Deep Space Nine's Commander Benjamin Sisko, becomes an award-winning writer. Beginning with Captain James T. Kirk's first appearance in the original series, then continuing through four subsequent series and ten movies, this book draws parallels between Star Trek stories and literary classics such as Hamlet, Paradise Lost, Ulysses, Dracula, and the New Testament, and works by the likes of Booker T. Washington, Edgar Allan Poe and William Shakespeare. Appendices list the literary works discussed and the episodes and movies mentioned, each giving the chapters where references can be found.

Fan Fiction and Fan Communities in the Age of the Internet by Karen Hellekson,Kristina Busse Pdf

Fans have been responding to literary works since the days of Homer's Odyssey and Euripedes' Medea. More recently, a number of science fiction, fantasy, media, and game works have found devoted fan followings. The advent of the Internet has brought these groups from relatively limited, face-to-face enterprises to easily accessible global communities, within which fan texts proliferate and are widely read and even more widely commented upon. New interactions between readers and writers of fan texts are possible in these new virtual communities. From Star Trek to Harry Potter, the essays in this volume explore the world of fan fiction--its purposes, how it is created, how the fan experiences it. Grouped by subject matter, essays cover topics such as genre intersection, sexual relationships between characters, character construction through narrative, and the role of the beta reader in online communities. The work also discusses the terminology used by creators of fan artifacts and comments on the effects of technological advancements on fan communities.
