Title: Untethered technology in Gravity: gender and spaceflight from science fact to fictionAuthor: PALMER, Lorrie Article type: ArticleLanguage: English
Description: Article examines the way in which the film ‘Gravity’ (2013) redefines the relationship between the female astronaut and technology. Contrasting ‘Gravity’s central female character, Ryan Stone, against earlier male astronaut depictions in films such as 'The Right Stuff' (1983) and 'Apollo 13' (1995), the article argues that the mythic figure of the astronaut is reimagined through her relationship with technology.
