Enterprise Zones: Critical Positions on Star Trek (Paperback)
by Taylor Harrison (Editor).
Academic Books on Star Trek
Westview Press, Aug 1996.
Description from publisher or vendor: From Neal Baker's review in Library Journal: "Thirteen scholars contributed to this volume, the first of its kind to address Star TrekR critically. Where Camille Bacon-Smith's Enterprising Women: Television Fandom and the Creation of Popular Myth (Univ. of Pennsylvania, 1992) focused on audiences, Enterprise Zones dissects the episodes and films. The contributors challenge Star Trek's avowed utopian vision and liberal humanism, demonstrating the concerns of recent cultural studies in academe. Essays explore such topics as Captain Kirk's masculinity, Lt. Commander Data's cyborg nature, and Counselor Troi's costumes. Emphasis is given to the politics of the original series and The Next Generation, and both are discussed in terms of militarism and neocolonialism. The contributors write with suspicion, insight, and respect for their subject matter, making this a sterling addition for any academic library. General readers might well be alienated by the scholarly jargon, however."

The Meaning of Star Trek (Hardcover )
by Thomas Richards .
Academic Books on Star Trek
Doubleday , June 1997.
Description from publisher or vendor: But while legions have devoured score of books on every aspect of the series, no book has ever dared to explore what "Star Trek" means-where it comes from, why it is so popular, how it creates a coherent world-until now. The Meaning of Star Trek captures the essence of this timeless television masterpiece by examining it in the context of literary history, social history, anthropology, myth, and religion-how it grew from a science fiction tradition; how the history of the federation reconfigures our own; how it handles the concept of first contact with other cultures; how its stories relate to classic myths; and how its tales of wonders, marvels, and miracles appeal to our sense of religion. Most importantly, The Meaning of Star Trek is a vital bridge between the universes of classical literature and popular entertainment, showing how this television series mines literary classics-and how those classics were the popular entertainment of their own time.

by Richard Hanley.
Academic Books on Star Trek
Basic Books , June 1997.
Description from publisher or vendor: Using examples from the shows, this witty and absorbing volume looks at the Star Trek series and explores a broad spectrum of philosophical ideas and theories, such as "personhood" the nature of a person, of minds, of consciousness and of the emotions; the nature and extent of knowledge and of free will; the nature of personal survival; the issue of what does or should matter to persons in their continued survival; and the question of the proper treatment of nonhumans, whether persons or not.
