| Summary: | This article will examine the representations of race, class and gender in relation to the theme of immigration in some Hollywood science fiction films but also the responses of sf films from Mexico and South Africa. The semantic and syntactic analysis of such films highlights the underlying metaphors behind the use of aliens and UFOs as commentary on the culture of these movies a depiction of the aliens in terms of race, class and citizenship. Through the analysis of Alien Nation (1988), Coneheads (1993), Men in Black (1997), the Star Wars prequels (1999-2005) et Man of Steel (2013), the immigration anxiety projected onto aliens in science fiction film will be analysed in order to identify how the immigrants are depicted in Hollywood cinema as well as how the attitude of the American public towards immigration may have changed. |
