This book examines how contemporary media marketing has become the new myth-making and has reinforced the particular mythology of the gargantuan Star Trek franchise, across its current lifespan of more than 50 years. The author argues that the tools of promotional material and transmedia merchandising shape viewers' experiences of the hit television series, reinforcing its mythology that both recycles the narratives of classical heritage and looks forward to the future. In this way, it reminds consumers of the Star Trek story's ongoing centrality within popular culture, whether in the form of the original 1960's series, the later additions such as Voyager and Discovery or J. J. Abrams' "reboot" films. Chapters examine how oral and literary traditions have influenced the series structure and its commercial image, how the cosmological role of humanity and the Earth are explored in title sequences across various Star Trek media platforms, and the multi-faceted way in which Internet, video game and event spin-offs create rituals to consolidate the space opera's fan base.

"Depuis près de 50 ans, Star Trek compte des millions de fans à travers le monde. Mais cet univers de science-fiction n'est pas qu'un simple délassement. Il propose un idéal social reposant sur une organisation juridique et des règles de droit très élaborées, qui servent notamment de guide pour explorer des mondes étranges et découvrir de nouvelles civilisations dans la galaxie. Au fil des séries et des films, plusieurs dizaines d'intrigues constituent autant de cas susceptibles de donner lieu à une jurisprudence dans des domaines très variés du droit. Le capitaine Kirk peut-il ainsi déroger à la Directive première, clef de voûte légale de l'exploration spatiale, sans encourir la réprobation de Spock et les foudres de ses supérieurs ? L'androïde Data, qui sert sur l'Enterprise sous les ordres du capitaine Picard, est-il une personne ou une chose ? Le lieutenant Jadzia Dax, officier scientifique de la station Deep Space 9, peut-elle être déclarée pénalement responsable pour un crime qu'aurait commis le symbiote qu'elle porte en elle ? B'Elanna Torres, ingénieur en chef sur l'U S S. Voyager, doit-elle répondre devant un juge de simples pensées hostiles ? Du fin fond de l'espace, nos héros et nos héroïnes de Starfleet doivent affronter des situations aussi complexes qu'inédites, parfois dangereuses, et c'est bien souvent par l'application d'une règle de droit qu'ils trouvent une solution équitable et, si possible, sans violence."--Cover, page 4.
