Book Final Girls  Feminism and Popular Culture

Download or read book Final Girls Feminism and Popular Culture written by Katarzyna Paszkiewicz and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-05-05 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume examines contemporary reformulations of the ‘Final Girl’ in film, TV, literature and comic, expanding the discussion of the trope beyond the slasher subgenre. Focusing specifically on popular texts that emerged in the 21st century, the volume asks: What is the sociocultural context that facilitated the remarkable proliferation of the Final Girls? What kinds of stories are told in these narratives and can they help us make sense of feminism? What are the roles of literature and media in the reconsiderations of Carol J. Clover’s term of thirty years ago and how does this term continue to inform our understanding of popular culture? The contributors to this collection take up these concerns from diverse perspectives and with different answers, notably spanning theories of genre, posthumanism, gender, sexuality and race, as well as audience reception and spectatorship.

Book Strong Bonds  Child animal Relationships in Comics

Download or read book Strong Bonds Child animal Relationships in Comics written by and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Snoopy and Charlie Brown, Calvin and Hobbes, Tintin and Snowy? comics are home to many memorable child and animal figures. Many cultural productions, especially children?s literature and cartoons, stress the similarities between children and animals, similarities that have their limits and often place the child, as human, above the animal. Still, these fictional situations offer opportunities for thinking of child-animal relationships in diverse ways through, for instance, considering the possibilities of privileged contact between children and animals or of animals that are more knowledgeable and powerful than children and even adults.0Despite the prevalence and success of child-animal tandems in comics and culture, we know very little about these relationships. What makes them so popular? How do they work? How much do they vary across time and cultures? What do they tell us about the place of animals and children in comics and in the real world?0'Strong Bonds: Child-animal Relationships in Comics' takes a first, important step in this direction. Bringing together scholars with a diverse range of comics expertise, the volume?s chapters combine contextualized readings of comics with relevant theories for interrogating childhood and animalhood, their overlaps and divergences. The strong bonds between children and animals mapped out here point towards alternative modes of conceptualizing family and identity and, ultimately, alternative means of reading, interpreting and imagining.0With chapters on early comics (the Italian children?s magazine 'Corriere dei Piccoli' during WWI, Harold Gray?s 'Little Orphan Annie') international and regional classics ('Tintin', the Flemish 'Jommeke') and contemporary graphic novels (Bryan Talbot?s 'A Tale of One Bad Rat', Brecht Even?s 'Panther'), this critical anthology sheds light on a vast array of child-animal relationships in comics from Europe and North America.000.

Book The Oxford Handbook of Sound and Image in Digital Media

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Sound and Image in Digital Media written by Carol Vernallis and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2015-08 with total page 833 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Handbook of Sound and Image in Digital Media surveys the contemporary landscape of audiovisual media. Contributors to the volume look not only to changes brought by digital innovations, but to the complex social and technological past that informs, and is transformed by, new media. This collection is conceived as a series of dialogues and inquiries by leading scholars from both image- and sound-based disciplines. Chapters explore the history and the future of moving-image media across a range of formats including blockbuster films, video games, music videos, social media, digital visualization technologies, experimental film, documentaries, video art, pornography, immersive theater, and electronic music. Sound, music, and noise emerge within these studies as integral forces within shifting networks of representation. The essays in this collection span a range of disciplinary approaches (film studies, musicology, philosophy, cultural studies, the digital humanities) and subjects of study (Iranian documentaries, the Twilight franchise, military combat footage, and Lady Gaga videos). Thematic sections and direct exchanges among authors facilitate further engagement with the debates invoked by the text.

Book The Return of Ulysses

    Book Details:
  • Author : Edith Hall
  • Publisher : Bloomsbury Publishing
  • Release : 2008-01-30
  • ISBN : 0857718304
  • Pages : 306 pages

Download or read book The Return of Ulysses written by Edith Hall and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2008-01-30 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether they focus on the bewitching song of the Sirens, his cunning escape from the cave of the terrifying one-eyed Cyclops, or the vengeful slaying of the suitors of his beautiful wife Penelope, the stirring adventures of Ulysses/Odysseus are amongst the most durable in human culture. The picaresque return of the wandering pirate-king is one of the most popular texts of all time, crossing East-West divides and inspiring poets and film-makers worldwide. But why, over three thousand years, has the Odyssey's appeal proved so remarkably resilient and long-lasting? In her much-praised book Edith Hall explains the enduring fascination of Homer's epic in terms of its extraordinary susceptibility to adaptation. Not only has the story reflected a myriad of different agendas, but - from the tragedies of classical Athens to modern detective fiction, film, travelogue and opera - it has seemed perhaps uniquely fertile in generating new artistic forms. Cultural texts as diverse as Joyce's Ulysses, Suzanne Vega's Calypso, Monteverdi's Il Ritorno d'Ulisse in Patria, the Coen Brothers' O Brother Where Art Thou?, Daniel Vigne's Le Retour de Martin Guerre and Anthony Minghella's Cold Mountain all show that Odysseus is truly a versatile hero. His travels across the wine-dark Aegean are journeys not just into the mind of one of the most brilliantly creative of all the ancient Greek writers. They are as much a voyage beyond the boundaries of a narrative which can plausibly lay claim to being the quintessential global phenomenon.
