Star Wars in the Public Square: The Clone Wars as Political Dialogue - Paperback
Description
by Derek R. Sweet (Author), Donald E. Palumbo (Editor), C. W. III Sullivan (Editor)
Speculative science fiction, with its underlying socio-political dialogue, represents an important intersection of popular culture and public discourse. As a pop culture text, the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars offers critical commentary on contemporary issues, marking a moment of interplay whereby author and audience come together in what Russian philosopher Mikhail Bakhtin called collaborative meaning making. This book critically examines the series as a voice in the political dialogues concerning human cloning, torture, just war theory, peace and drone warfare.
