Sinemaya Giriş: Bilimkurgu

Rate this book
Blimkurgu, bilimle teknoloji arasındaki ilişkiye dair sorular soruyor; özel efektlerin anlam ve etki üretmede oynadığı role özel bir dikkat göstererek, gösteri, anlatı ve kendi kendini yansıtma kavramları arasındaki karşılıklı ilişkileri ele alıyor. Bilimkurguda rastlanan yüce, grotesk, “camp” çağrışımlarına değinerek, türün sömürgecilik, emperyalizm ve neoliberal küreselleşme söylemlerini nasıl yeniden üretip ifade ettiğine dair bir yol haritası çıkarıyor.

Mark Bould 1895’ten günümüze, aralarında Le voyage dans la lune (1902), 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1916), L’Atlantide (1921), King Kong (1933, 2005), Gojira (1954), Blade Runner (1982), Tetsuo (1989), G.O.R.A (2004), Sleep Dealer (2008), Avatar’ın (2009) bulunduğu pek çok film üzerinden ırk, sınıf, toplumsal cinsiyet ve cinsellik temsillerinin derinlemesine analizlerine yer vererek hem sinemaseverler hem de öğrenci ve akademisyenler için temel bir rehber sunuyor.

As a geographer who writes and loves science fiction, this opened with a nod to de Certeau and exploring the film genre of science fiction like city streets which made my little heart beat faster. I loved it for the way it problematised the idea of genre itself while giving me a fairly good idea of how it has been made to stretch and shrink, and the major debates in the field. I absolutely loved how it incorporated all the deep joy and pleasure and sensuousness of film with its politics, discussion of colonialism and neoliberalism are in here along with the fabulous, the camp, the grotesque. It opened up so many lines of inquiry, new questions and ways of looking at film, and it gave me an enormous list of b-films (and a-films too) that I really MUST see, which was glorious. I didn't manage to capture a quarter of what was packed in there on the first read (packed yet readable, I liked it), making it one of those books that I will definitely return to to reread a chapter here and a chapter there. A lazy weekend with a couple of camp films in the best Bakhtinian tradition of carnival and this book in hand would be a most enjoyable thing.

I am so utterly sad that Goodreads is not displaying the cover...Flash Gordon manages to take Routledge to awesomeness, a place it rarely goes with its covers.

[disclaimer - I do know and love Dr. Bould, but really that meant I was overjoyed I loved the book and didn't have to forever pretend I still hadn't managed to read it yet...]

Kitap, Bilimkurgu Sineması için bir rehber olsa bile, -konunun oldukça geniş olmasından kaynaklanan- belirli kalıplara sıkışmış hissinden tam kurtulamıyor. Yine de ele aldığı üç bölüm başlığı da gayet iyi işlenmiş durumda. Çok değerli bir indeksi de bulunuyor.

Incredibly vast selection of films, very well read in sf theory, but unfortunately quite tiring to read. Bould doesn't want to present a single, encompassing theory of sf but instead sheds lights on many different aspects. While this approach certainly can be justified on a conceptual level, it makes for tedious reading. Since the book doesn't really develop an argument, the whole thing feels a bit arbitrary in the end.

It's also strange that the book lacks a filmography and doesn't include a single screenshot.

Mark Bould'un Marksist bakışla Bilimkugu filmlerini ele aldığı çalışma türe, türün içeriklerine, ilişkileri ele alışına ayrıntılı biçimde bakıyor...

Çeviride küçük aksaklıklar, çevrilmeden bırakılan kelimeler olmakla birlikte çevirinin genel olarak iyi ı yapıldığı kitap, kolektif yayınlarının "sinemaya giriş" dizisinin bir parçası olark basılmış...

Ayrıntılı örneklerle açıklanan, zaman zaman film okumaları detayına inen bölümlerde Bould Bilimkurgu'da Bilim, Gösteri ve Kendini Yansıtma, Sömürgecilik ve Küreselleşme başlıkları altında kapsamlı analizler sunuyor...

Sinemaya, Bilimkurguya merak duyanlara önerilir...
