Description
Summary:Jonas Neldner maintains the issue's focus on feminist analysis in his essay "'I should have let her die': a Posthuman Future between (Re)-Embodiment and Cyborgian Concepts" when he argues that the depiction of gender roles functions as an important theme in science fiction literature, as it allows for a critical evaluation of stereotypes and underlying disparities. In "Dreaming of Electric Femmes Fatales: Ridley Scott's Blade Runner: Final Cut (2007) and Images of Women in Film Noir", he takes up Blade Runner as a classic neo-noir, a science fiction film which applies 1940s films noirs' visual style in order to create a dark and dystopian vision of humanity's future.
