| dc.description.abstract | This thesis aims to examine the concept of the “Other,” which entered into our lexicon after postcolonialism by looking at it from the angle of science fiction. To do this, the thesis will compare Arthur C. Clarke’s Childhood’s End published in 1953 with its 2015 American miniseries adaptation directed by Nick Hurran. These works were chosen specifically because they can be used to establish a clear vision of the evolution of the “Other.” The “Other” existed before postcolonialism in different forms. Therefore, this thesis will delve into colonialism and imperialism, also the terms such as postcolonialism and neo-colonialism which are a must for understanding the main topic. For this reason, the first chapter was set aside to explain these terms and their place in science fiction. In the second chapter, the term “Other” is detailed and its place within Anglo-American culture is explained. Also, in this chapter, the evolution of the “Other” within science fiction has been given its place. The third chapter puts all of this acquired knowledge into practice by examining Childhood’s End. The writer’s experiences during the periods of colonialism and postcolonialism are put against the twenty-first century American culture in order to understand the effect of time on the work. Different varieties of “Other” present within the novel and the miniseries are discussed and the discussions are used to show the effect of a different time and culture. | |
