Close Encounters: Film, Feminism, and Science Ficiton

Offers critical interpretations of science fiction as represented in film, television and other non-literary media. Ranging from historical analysis to psychoanalytic critiques, and from avant-garde films to television sitcoms, the book addresses science fiction in terms of "sexual difference".
