"The figure of the alien is at the heart of science fiction and has helped us to understand
and explore interactions with other cultures and the possibilities of life beyond
both the modern configuration of the nation-state and the natural order of life on
earth. Alien Imaginations brings together canonical and contemporary works in the
cinema and literature of science fiction, transnationalism, and globalization in order
to examine the role of the alien as well as the realities of migration, labor, and
life in the twenty-first century. The essays in this collection discuss films such
as District 9, Avatar, and Code 46, as well as novels by H.G. Wells, Philip K. Dick,
or Ray Bradbury. As we continue down the road to a global economy and culture, Alien
Imaginations offers a critical reflection upon our 'imagined realities' while also
turning to speculative fiction and cinema to provide us with examples of resistance,
if not a utopian horizon"
