Given the recent emphasis of the genre on these issues, this article proposes cosmopolitanism as a particularly useful theoretical framework for analyzing contemporary science fiction. The article focuses on the remake’s reliance on the figure of the alien and its destructive potential as a means of drawing attention to the global threat of climate change. The Day the Earth Stood Still presents cosmopolitanism as a perspective and way of acting that develops as a response to specific transnational challenges.Keywords: The Day the Earth Stood Still; science fiction; film; cosmopolitanism; alien; climate change info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/H12 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/FFI2013-43968-P info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc-sa http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/es/ 0.075 2018 LINGUISTICS 180 / 182 = 0.989 2018 Q4 T3 0.118 2018 Cultural Studies 2018 Q2 Literature and Literary Theory 2018 Q2 Linguistics and Language 2018 Q2 Language and Linguistics 2018 Q2 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 3004 345 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
