Synopsis :

Blade Runner has proved to be one of the most enduring and influential films of the 1980s. In his innovative reading, Scott Bukatman details the making of the film and its steadily improving fortunes after its initial release. He situates the film in terms of the debates about post modernism that have informed the large body of criticism devoted to it. Although "Blade Runner "explores the tensions fundamental to a postmodern era of bewildering technological change, Bukatman argues, it derives from the quintessentially twentieth-century, modernist experience of the city - the experience of a space both imprisoning and liberating.

À propos de l'auteur: SCOTT BUKATMAN is a cultural theorist and Professor of Film and Media Studies at Stanford University, USA. His books include Terminal Identity: The Virtual Subject in Postmodern Science Fiction, 'Blade Runner' in the BFI Film Classics series, and a collection of essays, Matters of Gravity: Special Effects and Supermen in the 20th Century. Bukatman has been published in abundant journals and anthologies, including October, Critical Inquiry, Camera Obscura, and Science Fiction Studies.
