Star Trek: Open a Channel: A Woman's Trek (Star Trek)
by Nana VisitorNana Visitor, Star Trek&’s Kira Nerys, explores how the series has portrayed and influenced women. Interviews with the stars, writers, producers, and celebrity fans reveal the struggles and triumphs of women both behind and in front of the camera throughout the sixty-year history of Star Trek, and how they have mirrored the experiences of women everywhere.Nana Visitor, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine&’s Kira Nerys, explores how the series has portrayed and influenced women. Interviews—with the stars, writers, producers, and audience members from all walks of life, including a politician and an astronaut—highlight the struggles and triumphs of women both behind and in front of the camera throughout the sixty-year history of Star Trek, and how they have mirrored the experiences of women everywhere. The groundbreaking casting of Nichelle Nichols as Lt. Uhura in 1966 was a paradigm shift for women and people of color. Pioneering is no picnic, and she planned to leave the show until none other than the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. contextualized her appearance in people&’s living rooms across America as a way for people of color to know they were indeed an important part of the future. Since then, each Star Trek show has both reflected the values of its time and imagined a future of equality. In her first book, Open a Channel: A Woman&’s Trek, Nana Visitor sets out to discover both how Star Trek led the way for women, and how each show was trapped in its own era. For Visitor, this is more than a book about Star Trek. It&’s also about how society and the stories we tell have evolved in the last sixty years, and how the role of women has changed in that time. STAR AUTHOR: Written by Star Trek: Deep Space Nine actor Nana Visitor, famous for playing Major Kira Nerys. This is both her story and her journey through the stories of other women involved with Star Trek from the 1960s to the 21st century. EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEWS: Features interviews with more than a dozen women who starred in Star Trek, including Kate Mulgrew, Sonequa Martin-Green, Terry Farrell, Gates McFadden, Denise Crosby, Tawny Newsome, and Jess Bush. INSPIRING STORIES: Explore how Star Trek has influenced women in the real world, including soldiers, scientists, and even astronauts. For the book, author Nana Visitor visited ESA HQ and interviewed astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti while she was in orbit around Earth on the International Space Station. PIONEERING SERIES: Following the humanistic tenets of creator Gene Roddenberry, Star Trek, throughout the decades, led the way in promoting diversity. Youths who grew up with Captain Janeway on Star Trek: Voyager, for example, not only learned to accept a woman as a leader but were also able to expand what they could imagine for themselves. The book makes clear how important storytelling is, and how the storytelling of Star Trek has had a profound effect on its audience.

Matter of North: Essays on Glenn Gould and The Idea of North
by Brent Wetters Anthony CushingDocuments and illuminates Glenn Gould's groundbreaking radio composition, The Idea of North.Matter of North collects essays and source material related to Glenn Gould's landmark 1967 radio documentary The Idea of North. The most famous product (other than his studio piano recordings) of Gould's 1964 decision to abandon the concert stage for the recording studio, it combines Gould's interests in the contrapuntal (by the simultaneous layering of speaking voices) with philosophy and a life-long fascination with the Canadian Arctic. Because the documentary is a multivalent work, the contributors approach the documentary from unique perspectives (sociological, philosophical, music-theoretical, ethnomusicological), each illuminating a salient aspect of the work. The source-material section includes for the first time the complete interview responses by Gould's five participants, along with other important documentation.
Haunting the World: Essays on Film After Perkins and Cavell (SUNY series, Horizons of Cinema)
by Dominic LashArgues that the experience of the ordinary film viewer and the investigations of the film scholar or film philosopher are not necessarily so far apart.In Haunting the World, Dominic Lash tries to show that taking films seriously in no way interferes with the pleasure we get from watching them. The book draws its title from the philosopher Stanley Cavell, who saw "haunting the world" as something we are all prone to and who claimed that cinema's relationship with this tendency is both an "importance" and a "danger" of film. Specifically, Lash proposes that the work of Cavell and of the critic and scholar V. F. Perkins have valuable lessons to offer contemporary film studies, some of which are in danger of being neglected. Written in a lively and approachable style that makes philosophical ideas accessible without simplifying them, the book argues that film theory risks going awry when it dismisses or underestimates the experience of the ordinary film viewer. Haunting the World offers fresh accounts of fundamental topics, including description, experience, and agency, and examines in detail important films by Ildikó Enyedi, Paul Thomas Anderson, Ridley Scott, Werner Herzog, Andrei Tarkovsky, Kelly Reichardt, and more.

Déjà Viewed: Nation, Gender, and Genre in Bollywood Remakes of Hollywood Cinema (SUNY series, Horizons of Cinema)
by Gohar SiddiquiSituates the remake as one of the primary responses to Bollywood's globalization and corporatization.Focused on post-1990 Bollywood remakes of Hollywood films, Déjà Viewed tells a larger story of the rapidly changing Indian film industry in the wake of globalization and corporatization. It situates the remake as a gendered response to these changes, drawing on approaches from film theory, gender studies, and cultural studies. The book looks at films from a variety of genres and modes, including the Bollywood family film, romantic comedy, noir, and melodrama, and each film's close analysis is accompanied by attention to concerns related to remake theory, such as homage, anxiety of influence, defamiliarization, and pastiche. Seeking to historicize how gender and genres become translated and transformed in the Bollywood remake, the book contributes to transnational understandings of gender and genre as media texts move across various borders—geographic, cinematic, economic, and aesthetic.
Remnants of Refusal: Feminist Affect, National Trauma (SUNY series in Feminist Criticism and Theory)
by Erin Shevaugn SchlumpfAnalyzes how French and Chinese literary and filmic texts enact a series of feminist affective responses to the erasure of historical trauma.Remnants of Refusal traces an affective discourse of feminist refusal across a series of French and Chinese works of film and literature. Developing an inventive comparative approach, Erin Shevaugn Schlumpf argues that this discourse takes shape in response to two national traumas and their aftermath: the German Occupation and the Tiananmen Square Massacre, respectively. In both contexts, events associated with the trauma were effectively erased from the official historical record and replaced by an unwritten code of public secrecy. And, in both contexts, three affects-melancholy, ambivalence, and exhaustion-provide means of expressing mourning without breaking the taboo of direct representation. In films and literary texts by Wang Anyi, Chen Ran, Jia Zhangke, Nathalie Sarraute, Marguerite Duras, Jean-Luc Godard, and others, mourning is most frequently borne by and through the bodies of women, generating a broader feminist counternarrative to historical forgetting and burgeoning neoliberalism.
