Through analyses of early twentieth-century animations, comic strips, and advertising, Animating the Science Fiction Imagination  unearths a significant body of cartoon science fiction from the pre-World War II era that appeared at approximately the same time the genre was\n\u003cbr\u003eitself struggling to find an identity, an audience, and even a name. In this book, author J.P. Telotte argues that these films helped sediment the genre's attitudes and motifs into a popular culture that found\n\u003cbr\u003emany of those ideas unsettling, even threatening. By binding those ideas into funny and entertaining narratives, these cartoons also made them both familiar and non-threatening, clearing a space for visions of the future, of other worlds, and of change that could be readily embraced in the post-war period.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46061582844142,"sku":"9780190695262","price":314.28,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780190695262.jpg?v=1736532760","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/animating-the-science-fiction-film","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
