The new issue of (Cult)u're Magazine is out. Check it out here: http://www.culturemagazine.ca/This issue's theme is "Circles", and the cinema section includes an article of mine called "The X-Files 2: All Things Come Full Circle".
This is a taste of what the article has to offer:
The X-Files continued to draw viewers as Seasons Two and Three progressed, and managed to tap into the cultural zeitgeist in a significant way, positioning itself at the center of a cultural, artistic, political and intellectual nexus. A growing interest in feminism and mid-90s ‘girl power,’ the rise of the ‘metrosexual’ male, a renewed fascination in the possibility of extraterrestrial life, the spread of new age spiritualism, a growing cynicism towards government representatives, the popular birth of cell phones and internet communication technology, along with the massive spread of on-line culture, all influenced and were likewise influenced by the series.
