Beskrivning
In the past, the examination of myth has traditionally been the study of the "Primitive" or the "Other." More recently, myth has been increasingly employed in movies and in television productions. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the Star Trek television and movie franchise. This collection of essays on Star Trek brings together perspectives from scholars in fields including film, anthropology, history, American studies and biblical scholarship. Together the essays examine the symbolism, religious implications, heroic and gender archetypes, and lasting effects of the Star Trek "mythscape."

Recensioner i media

“an enjoyable and accessible read... any self respecting Trekkie should absolutely read this book”—Journal of Religion and Popular Culture; “each essay stands as an excellent piece of scholarship, but together in a single volume, they create a fairly authoritative collection of Star Trek scholarship...both Star Trek and myth scholars should have this on the shelf...Kapell has produced a useful and versatile collection of Star Trek and modern myth reflective of the franchise’s impact on popular culture and our ongoing propensity to create myths.”—Journal of the Fantastic in the Arts.
