- Title
Monstrous Bodies, Monstrous Sex: Queering Alien Resurrection.
- Authors
Boyle, Brenda M.
- Abstract
The article reports that in the fourth film of the Alien series, Alien Resurrection, the issue of sexuality becomes paramount to the issue of reproduction or, more generally, the issue of gender. In the course of the trilogy, gender gradually is made obsolete. This film finishes the job in rendering all terms of sexual normalcy immaterial. This world and its inhabitants are beyond heterosexuality, and perhaps beyond sexuality as one knows it. Consequently, when reconsidering Alien Resurrection through a queer lens which inquires into sexuality offers a fuller and more fruitful reading than does one through gender or the biological labyrinth of reproduction.
