AFRICA: Home of Space Art and Indigenous Astronomy. 330 $aThis book provides detailed insights into how space and popular culture intersect across a broad spectrum of examples, including cinema, music, art, arcade games, cartoons, comics, and advertisements. This is a pertinent topic since the use of space themes differs in different cultural contexts, and these themes can be used to explore various aspects of the human condition and provide a context for social commentary on politically sensitive issues. With the use of space imagery evolving over the past sixty years of the space age, this is a topic ripe for in-depth exploration. The book also discusses the contrasting visions of space from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and the reality of today and analyzes space vehicles and habitats in popular depictions of space from an engineering perspective, exploring how many of those ideas have actually been implemented in practice and why or why not (a case of life imitating art and vice versa). As such, it covers a wide array of relevant and timely topics examining intersections between space and popular culture and offering accounts of space and its effect on culture, language, and storytelling from the southern regions of the world. 410 0$aSouthern space studies. 606 $aAstronautics and civilization 606 $aAstronautics in mass media 606 $aPopular culture 607 $aOuter space$xExploration 615 0$aAstronautics and civilization. 615 0$aAstronautics in mass media. 615 0$aPopular culture. 676 $a306.45 702 $aFroehlich$b Annette 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910678243203321 996 $aOuter Space and Popular Culture$92007114 997 $aUNINA
