Items related to Star Trek: Parallel Narratives
Gregory (film and media studies, Lancaster University) traces the evolution of Star Trek from its earliest days, examining the role of its creator Gene Roddenberry and his various successors in the formulation of a unique dramatic universe which can be said to have developed into a modern mythological system. He examines the underlying psychological, social, and political themes in Star Trek , explores fan organizations, and looks at the contrast between the sophistication of the contemporary Trek and the relative naivety of the original series.
