Free Download Stefan Rabitsch, "Star Trek and the British Age of Sail: The Maritime Influence Throughout the Series and Films"
English | ISBN: 1476664633 | 2018 | 279 pages | PDF | 20 MB
Clear all moorings, one-half impulse power and set course for a mare incognitum… A popular culture artifact of the New Frontier/Space Race era, Star Trek is often mistakenly viewed as a Space Western. However, the Western format is not what governs the worldbuilding of Star Trek, which was, after all, also pitched as "Hornblower in space." Star Trek is modeled on the world of the "British Golden Age of Sail" as it is commonly found in the genre of sea fiction. This book re-historicizes and remaps the origins of the franchise and subsequently the entirety of its fictional world-the

Free Download Carey Millsap-Spears, "Star Trek Discovery and the Female Gothic: Tell Fear No "
English | ISBN: 1666910511 | 2023 | 192 pages | EPUB, PDF | 289 KB + 1187 KB
While many scholars agree the Gothic mode has been a precursor to science fiction since Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, Carey Millsap-Spears argues in this book that the made for streaming series Star Trek Discovery draws on an even older gothic formula, namely the Female Gothic of Ann Radcliffe’s romance novels, including The Romance of the Forest and The Mysteries of Udolpho. Millsap-Spears reads the streaming series through the lens of the Female Gothic, illustrating that each season contains the formulaic elements of a mystery, a gothic villain and heroine, an escape narrative, and the explained supernatural. In doing so, the author expands Star Trek scholarship and sheds new light on the intertextual connections between gothic literature and contemporary science fiction.

English | ISBN: 1978707118 | 2023 | 330 pages | PDF | 3 MB
After Star Trek: Enterprise concluded in 2005, Star Trek went on hiatus until the 2009 film Star Trek and its sequels. With the success of these films, Star Trek returned to the small screen with series like Discovery, Picard, and Strange New Worlds. These films and series, in different ways, reflect cultural shifts in Western society. Theology and Star Trek gathers a group of scholars from various religious and theological disciplines to reflect upon the connection between theology and Star Trek anew. The essays in part one, "These are the Voyages," explore the overarching themes of Star Trek and the thought of its creator, Gene Roddenberry. Part two, "Strange New Worlds," discusses politics and technology. Part three, "To Explore and to Seek," focuses on issues related to practice and formation. Part four, "To Boldly Go," contemplates the future of Star Trek.
