Kino trzeciej kultury. Nowe inspiracje współczesnego amerykańskiego science fiction
Third Culture Cinema. New Inspirations of Contemporary American Science Fiction

Summary/Abstract: Over the last decade American science fiction cinema underwent a drastic conceptual change.The expansion of big-budget adaptation of super hero comic books led to the need for thematic and formal redefinition of the genre itself. Groundbreaking achievements of modern science proved to be a fresh point of reference for North American filmmakers. Drawing inspiration from contemporary science popularizers working under the aegis of the Third Culture, filmmakers tried to consider in their works issues relating to the ongoing discussions of physicists, philosophers and neuroscientists. The author tries to extract the main distinguishing features of American cine - ma of the Third Culture and track important intellectual concepts contained therein.
