Product Information
What could possibly account for the scope and longevity of the Star Trek phenomenon? With legions of impassioned fans and a life span of 30 years and counting, the Star Trek television and film corpus has made Gene Roddenberry's creation nothing less than an American mythology. Deep Space and Sacred Time examines for the first time in book-length form the many ways Star Trek has served as a mythic reference point for American society--and suggests that an understanding of this might help us to see ourselves more clearly as a culture. Moreover, this thoughtful and thought-provoking work posits that Star Trek offers its audience a sense of hope and, in the setting of an orderly cosmos, the possibility for empowerment. Written to appeal to thoughtful Star Trek viewers, as well as teachers and scholars, Deep Space and Sacred Time examines Trek's humanist creed, with its faith in the human capacity for compassion, growth and self-guidance. Roddenberry's optimistic vision stressed the tolerance of diversity, the central role of friendship and loyalty, an opposition to prejudice, and the rejection of organized religion and divine authority. Employing the framework of contemporary social analysis, authors Jon Wagner and Jan Lundeen reveal the evolving tension between Star Trek's liberalism and its subliminal messages of gender, race and class hegemony; yet they also take issue with the recent wave of critical scholarship that finds only homophobia, sexism, racism, and other oppressive forces dominating the Star Trek mythos. Citing hundreds of examples from the first eight Star Trek feature films and the four television series, the authors consider the ways in which Star Trek invites its audience to explore the nature of the self, the essence of humanity, the construction of gender, the possibility of utopia, and the role of narrative in shaping an intelligible cosmos.

Reviews
"The authors make a pretty good case for their contention that Trek employed archetypes to connect to viewers while simultaneuosly ignoring many of the sterotypes the public would normally have expected." Today's Books, "...[T]his work is whole and complete in its analysis. Star Trek comes across here as a fine Thanksgiving Day meal, full of many hearty food, all somehow fitting together in a very palatable and, of course, very American and mythopoetic way. As a reader you will not be faulted if, upon finishing, you are forced to loosen your belt a notch." Extrapolation, "Wagner and Lundeen excel at exploring how depictions of gender, race relations, religion, family life and political correctness have evolved throughout the varied Trek series....All true Trekkers should find most of this book's journey, in the words of Mr. Spock, 'fascinating.'" Publishers Weekly, "[A] compelling analysis of those elements that account for the scope and longevity of the four television series and nine feature-length motion pictures." h_Net Reviews in the Humanities and Social Sciences

Bought this book because it is my autistic daughter's absolute favorite book. They are really hard to find and when they are available sometimes people will ask outrageous prices , the seller here had a really fair price and shipping was fast, I just wish I could find more of these books.
