Title: Square-jawed strength: gender and resilience in the female astronaut filmAuthor: PURSE, LisaArticle type: ArticleLanguage: English
Description: Article examines the female astronaut as an example of the ‘strong female protagonist’ trope in sf. Looks at the consistency of visual depiction of the female astronaut in the films ‘Event Horizon’ (1997), ‘Mission to Mars’ (2000), ‘Red Planet’ (2000), ‘Supernova’ (2000), ‘Sunshine’ (2007), ‘Gravity’ (2013), ‘Europa Report’ (2013), ‘Interstellar’ (2014), ‘Life’ (2017), and ‘The Cloverfield Paradox’ (2018), commenting on to what extent female representation in this genre remains gendered.

Title: Screening Cosmos-politanism: The Anthropocenic politics of outer space mediaAuthor: Boyle, KirkArticle type: ArticleLanguage: English
Description: Article examines the outer space media cycle in the United States, and how the anxieties surrounding space exploration are represented. The paper posits four differing stances on the US’s future in outer space, including reactionary state imperialism, progressive state socialism, corporatist-libertarian cosmopolitanism, and a utopian vision of an international space agenda dubbed ‘cosmos-politanism’. The paper uses films such as 'Gravity' (2013), 'Interstellar' (2014), 'Orphans of Apollo' (2008), 'Elysium' (2013), 'Oblivion' (2013), and 'The Martian' (2015), to exemplify these different perspectives.
