Voices of Sexual Distortion: Rape, Birth, and Self-Annihilation Metaphors in the "Alien Trilogy."
Vaughn, Thomas
Quarterly Journal of Speech, v81 n4 p423-35 Nov 1995
Discusses myth, metaphor, and subjectivity in the popular science fiction film series sometimes referred to as the "Alien Trilogy." Traces how images of rape, birth, and self-annihilation deconstruct liberalized myths of gender and family, destabalizing the conventional frame through which the rhetorical subject is constructed.
