| jupiter ascending: Jupiter Rising Zachary Brown, 2017-07-04 In this third volume of the trilogy, The Darkside Corps battle the Conglomeration at Jupiter against all odds as humanity takes the war on its back. Nebula and World Fantasy Award–nominated author Zachary Brown created what Locus magazine raves as “good old fashioned military science fiction” in the Icarus Corps trilogy. The always outgunned and under-equipped human soldiers known as the Colonial Protection Forces battle across the moon and the alien desert landscapes of Titan all to make one desperate attack at Jupiter to hold the invading Conglomeration forces at bay, only to have a greater threat revealed as we find out why the Conglomeration—Accordance War has been raging across the galaxy. |

| jupiter ascending: Lana and Lilly Wachowski Cael M. Keegan, 2018-11-15 Lana and Lilly Wachowski have redefined the technically and topically possible while joyfully defying audience expectations. Visionary films like The Matrix trilogy and Cloud Atlas have made them the world's most influential transgender media producers, and their coming out retroactively put trans* aesthetics at the very center of popular American culture. Cáel M. Keegan views the Wachowskis' films as an approach to trans* experience that maps a transgender journey and the promise we might learn to sense beyond the limits of the given world. Keegan reveals how the filmmakers take up the relationship between identity and coding (be it computers or genes), inheritance and belonging, and how transgender becoming connects to a utopian vision of a post-racial order. Along the way, he theorizes a trans* aesthetic that explores the plasticity of cinema to create new social worlds, new temporalities, and new sensory inputs and outputs. Film comes to disrupt, rearrange, and evolve the cinematic exchange with the senses in the same manner that trans* disrupts, rearranges, and evolves discrete genders and sexes. |

| jupiter ascending: The Music of Space Chris Carberry, 2024-02-22 Since the early days of motion picture production, film scores have helped define our emotional and aesthetic perception of stories on screen--particularly with space movies and television. The music from The Day the Earth Stood Still, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Star Wars, Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica and others has helped define the public's awareness of space almost as much as the films themselves. In some cases, they have redefined the norms of film music. Star Wars not only revived the popularity of orchestral film scores but also helped stimulate an increased public interest in classical orchestral music around the world. This work explores the music and the composers who have helped define the sound of space for over a century, transforming how we perceive space and even inspiring greater interest in space exploration. This book also details how music has been performed and played in space since the early days of the space race. |

| jupiter ascending: Babylonian Planetary Omens: Part Four Erica Reiner, 2021-10-11 This volume presents an edition of first-millennium BC Babylonian cuneiform texts that comprise Chapters 64 and 65 of the compendium of celestial omen texts dealing with the appearance and movements of the planet Jupiter. All are accompanied by an English translation. David Pingree has again provided an extensive introduction and astronomical commentary, in which he discusses the astronomical plausibility of the phenomena that are described in the omens. The textual material and its astronomical interpretation throws light on the extent of the Babylonian scholars’ knowledge of astronomy and furnishes another argument in the debate about observation versus scribal tradition in the description of these phenomena. |
| jupiter ascending: Eco-Vampires Simon Bacon, 2020-05-25 This work studies the ways vampiric narratives explore the eco-friendly credentials of the undead. Many of these texts and films show the vampire to be an essential part of a global ecosystem and an organism that can no longer tolerate the all-consuming forces of globalization and consumerism. Re-examining Bram Stoker's Dracula and a range of other vampire narratives, primarily films, in a fresh light, this book reveals the nosferatu as both a plague on humankind and the eco-warriors that planet Earth desperately needs. |

| jupiter ascending: The New Peplum Nicholas Diak, 2018-01-12 Peplum or sword-and-sandal films--an Italian genre of the late 1950s through the 1960s--featured ancient Greek, Roman and Biblical stories with gladiators, mythological monsters and legendary quests. The new wave of historic epics, known as neo-pepla, is distinctly different, embracing new technologies and storytelling techniques to create an immersive experience unattainable in the earlier films. This collection of new essays explores the neo-peplum phenomenon through a range of topics, including comic book adaptations like Hercules, the expansion of genre boundaries in Jupiter Ascending and John Carter, depictions of Romans and slaves in Spartacus, and The Eagle and Centurion as metaphors for America's involvement in the Iraq War. |

| jupiter ascending: Drone Age Cinema Steen Ledet Christiansen, 2016-11-29 At a time when technological advances are transforming cultures and supporting new automated military operations, action films engage the senses and, in doing so, allow viewers to embody combat roles. This book argues that through film the viewer adapts to an ecology of fear, one that reflects global panic at the near-constant threat of conflict and violence. Often overwhelming in its audiovisual assault, action cinema attempts to overpower our bodies with its own through force and intensity. In this book, Steen Ledet Christiansen identifies five aspects central to how action films produce such physical movements and responses through vectors, droning, kinetics, telesomatics and volatility and in so doing unveils new modes of perception that acclimatise us for warfare. Drawing on theories from film-philosophy and a consideration of the aesthetics and phenomenology of war, this is an innovative study of the evolving action movie and its role in the targeted address of battle. Chapters investigate new modes of cinematic experience through in-depth case studies of Iron Man, Avatar and the Jason Bourne trilogy, through to The Hurt Locker and Mad Max: Fury Road. |

| jupiter ascending: Taking on Gravity Richard W. Miller, 2018-04-26 Miller says a number of years ago he asked himself the question, what would be less problematic: to take on the mainstream ideology, or to take on gravity? He decided to take on gravity. Oddly enough, his first draft was on the back of a pizza box. “We don’t understand the true cause of gravity,” says Miller. “For all we know, it may be hidden in plain sight.” Taking on Gravity: a Guide for Practical Gravitation provides a fresh new approach for the cause of gravity. This in-depth study, supported by equations, examples, and illustrations, is a must-read for anyone who seeks an alternative view of the pervasive force. Questions like “What is gravity?” and “What causes it?” will finally make sense. Even if you are pro-Newton or pro-Einstein, you will likely find this book a true source of inspiration. |

| jupiter ascending: The Fourth Way Up Anatoly Arlashin, 2025-05-31 Get ready for unique insights into the Fourth Way—ideas never before published. This book offers a deep dive into objective cosmic laws and esoteric practices. It meticulously outlines the law of three and the law of octaves. Here, you will find a revolutionary understanding of the enneagram—the version Gurdjieff initially presented, which starkly contrasts with commonly accepted interpretations. Beyond theoretical exposition, the book offers abundant examples. It emphasizes the practice of self-remembering as a realization of oneself as a spirit and provides many practical exercises to develop the motor, intellectual, and emotional centers. Additionally, the work offers an overview of meditation techniques and esoteric practices for the development of altered states of consciousness—methods taught exclusively by Gurdjieff in Russia, not in the West. The book explains how negative emotions, such as fear, significantly hinder the development of consciousness and can lead to dangerous consequences, particularly when an individual attempts to activate kundalini. This textbook on the Fourth Way offers updated explanations applicable to modern reality and helpful to anyone on a spiritual path, not just Fourth Way followers. |
| jupiter ascending: Alien Abduction in the Cinema Paul Meehan, 2023-08-03 The alien abduction phenomenon is one of the enduring enigmas of our time. While the reality of alien abductions is a hotly debated topic among UFO researchers, scientists, skeptics and true believers alike, the phenomenon indisputably exists as an artifact of popular culture. This book analyzes more than 75 films that draw their inspiration from allegedly fact-based accounts of alien contact, from 1951's The Man from Planet X to Contactee in 2021. These films are examined in terms of both their cinematic qualities and their exploration of thematic elements derived from abduction reports. Abduction motifs that appear in science fiction classics such as The Day the Earth Stood Still, 2001 and Close Encounters are analyzed, as well as those in lesser-known films like The Stranger Within, Starship Invasions, Dark Skies and Proximity. Special attention is given to movies based on the famed experiences of abductees Betty and Barney Hill, Whitley Strieber and Travis Walton. The book also addresses skeptical theories about the origins of the phenomenon in science fiction and examines an uncanny prescience that appears to anticipate these inexplicable occurrences. |
