    “YOU’VE SEEN THE MOVIE, NOW PLAY THE VIDEO GAME”: RECODING THE CINEMATIC IN DIGITAL MEDIA AND VIRTUAL CULTURE Stefan Hall A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2011 Committee: Ronald Shields, Advisor Margaret M. Yacobucci Graduate Faculty Representative Donald Callen Lisa Alexander © 2011 Stefan Hall All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Ronald Shields, Advisor Although seen as an emergent area of study, the history of video games shows that the medium has had a longevity that speaks to its status as a major cultural force, not only within American society but also globally. Much of video game production has been influenced by cinema, and perhaps nowhere is this seen more directly than in the topic of games based on movies. Functioning as franchise expansion, spaces for play, and story development, film-to-game translations have been a significant component of video game titles since the early days of the medium. As the technological possibilities of hardware development continued in both the film and video game industries, issues of media convergence and divergence between film and video games have grown in importance. This dissertation looks at the ways that this connection was established and has changed by looking at the relationship between film and video games in terms of economics, aesthetics, and narrative. Beginning in the 1970s, or roughly at the time of the second generation of home gaming consoles, and continuing to the release of the most recent consoles in 2005, it traces major areas of intersection between films and video games by identifying key titles and companies to consider both how and why the prevalence of video games has happened and continues to grow in power.

  • Flesh GORDON Né Gérard HERVE Le 20 Juin 1953 À 2H À Villeneuve-Saint-Georges 94 Val-De-Marne Connu Sous Le Nom De Ring « Flesh Gordon »(*) Selon L’État-Civil
    Grande star du catch européen et français, cet ancien champion d’Europe et ancien champion du monde a fondé une école de catch en Seine- et-Marne. Flesh GORDON Né Gérard HERVE le 20 juin 1953 à 2h à Villeneuve-Saint-Georges 94 Val-de-Marne Connu sous le nom de ring « Flesh Gordon »(*) Selon l’état-civil Dans les années 1970, il découvre le catch mexicain Dès l’âge de 14 ans, Flesh Gordon pratique la boxe anglaise ainsi que le pancrace(**). Dans les années 1970, il part au Mexique et découvre la lucha libre (lutte libre ou catch mexicain). Le catch, né dans le monde des bonimenteurs et saltimbanques, se distingue des autres sports de combat. Il relève du spectacle et du spectaculaire tant par les acrobaties que les accoutrements, et le catcheur est en représentation plutôt qu’en quête d’un record. La notion de compétition sportive est absente et la victoire ne s’acquiert pas en fonction du talent, de la condition physique ou de la supériorité. Dans ses représentations nommées galas, un catcheur gagne plutôt du galon et de la popularité en fonction de sa capacité à faire réagir la foule. Décrié par certains comme trop violent ou trop populaire, le catch est qualifié par le philosophe linguiste Roland Barthes de spectacle proche du théâtre qui n’a pas à rougir de sa qualité artistique. Les catcheuses et catcheurs sont de véritables athlètes professionnels qui s’adonnent à une intense activité physique pour travailler la puissance et l’élasticité musculaire ainsi que l’endurance mais aussi la souplesse, la vitesse et l’agilité.

V Plzni dne 26. června 2012 ……………………………. Petr Harmáček ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my gratitude to my supervisor Bradley Vice, Ph.D. for his guidance, support, patience and encouragement during the writing of this thesis. ABSTRACT Harmáček, Petr. University of West Bohemia. June, 2012. The Original Star Wars Trilogy: American Cultural Heritage Supervisor: William Bradley Vice, Ph.D. This thesis concentrates upon one of the most acclaimed science fiction and fantasy film works of all time, the original Star Wars trilogy and mainly the film which started it all, the 1977 Star Wars, as one of the most culturally influential motion pictures of the 20th Century and an important part of America‘s cultural heritage. The primary focus of the thesis is to determine the degree of the influence of this film and its sequels on American culture and factors that led to it. The initial two chapters consult the important milestones, both in cinema and in the life of Star Wars‘ creator George Lucas, leading up to the creation of Star Wars. The following two chapters discuss the development and making of Star Wars, including the many influences on the script and the visual style of the film, underlining the importance of these influences for the popularity and cultural impact of Star Wars.

    Ken Hollings Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe The Superhero as Camp Enigma Ein ewiges Rätsel will ich bleiben mir und anderen Ludwig II of Bavaria 1. Professor Zarkov: By destroying Ming you have saved the universe. Flash Gordon: In his mad ambition he declared that he would rule the universe. Professor Zarkov: Then since you have conquered Ming, I shall radio your father: «Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe». Dale Arden: And saved the earth. Closing dialogue, Episode Twelve, Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe1 What kind of hero is capable of conquering an entire universe? At such a trium- phant moment as this it is worth recalling that the first – and only – thing we ever learn about Flash Gordon at the start of his film career is that he plays polo. Or at least he would do if the world weren’t about to be destroyed. «He gave up his polo game just in time to catch the transcontinental plane, hoping to be with us before the end,» his father announces after receiving a telegram from Flash at the observatory where he works as chief astronomer, watching the planet Mongo on its collision course with the Earth. As it was in the beginning of Flash’s first ever movie serial, so it is in the final episode of Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe, his third and last adventure in outer space. Flash never reaches his father or the observatory but finds himself instead with Professor Zarkov and Dale Arden on Mongo, in the clutches of its ruler Ming the Merciless. In fact, over the course of his three serials for Universal Pictures, Flash Gordon spends so little time on his home planet that it might just as well have been destroyed.

  • Science Fiction
    SCIENCE FICTION Science Fiction explores the genre from 1895 to the present day, drawing on examples from over forty countries. It raises questions about the relationship between science fiction, science and technology, and examines the interrelationships between spectacle, narrative and self-reflexivity, paying particular attention to the role of special effects in creating meaning and affect. It explores science fiction’sevo- cations of the sublime, the grotesque, and the camp, and charts the ways in which the genre reproduces and articulates discourses of colonialism, imperialism and neo-liberal globalization. At the same time, Science Fiction provides a thorough analysis of the genre’s representation of race, class, gender and sexuality, making this text an essential guide for students, academics and film fans alike. Key films discussed include: Le voyage dans la lune (1902) 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1916) L’Atlantide (1921) King Kong (1933, 2005) Gojira (1954) La Jetée (1962) The Abominable Dr Phibes (1971) Tetsuo (1989) Sleep Dealer (2008) ) Avatar (2009) Mark Bould is Reader in Film and Literature at the University of the West of England and co-editor of Science Fiction Film and Television.

  • Flash Gordon, Leyenda Viva Del Cómic ©Copyright Antonio Quintana Carrandi Para NGC 3660
    Flash Gordon, leyenda viva del cómic ©Copyright Antonio Quintana Carrandi para NGC 3660 Flash Gordon, leyenda viva del cómic Antonio Quintana Carrandi Entre los héroes de la literatura dibujada destaca uno que, todavía hoy, es un referente para muchos aficionados y una leyenda viva del cómic: Flash Gordon. El 7 de enero de 1929 comenzaron a publicarse en los periódicos las aventuras de Buck Rogers, que de inmediato cosecharon un gran éxito. Significó todo un bombazo en el mundo del cómic y, ya desde el principio, suscitó una serie de penosas imitaciones que pasaron sin pena ni gloria. No sería hasta cinco años más tarde que surgiría un personaje capaz de competir con él. Este fue Flash Gordon, que llegaría a igualar en popularidad a Buck en USA, y a superarle con creces en el resto del mundo. Cuando el dibujante Alex Raymond presentó su proyecto al King Features Syndicate, los responsables de la empresa no lo vieron muy claro. Raymond había imaginado a un barbudo Flash que, en compañía de otros astronautas, realizaba un vuelo en cohete alrededor de la Tierra de veinticuatro horas de duración. La historia no gustó, pues se parecía mucho a otras publicadas en las revistas pulp. Pero el personaje tenía potencial, de modo que el King Features Syndicate encargó a Raymond que reelaborara el argumento. Dos años antes, en 1932, había sido publicada por entregas, en la revista Blue Book, Cuando los mundos chocan (When Worlds Collide), original de Philip Wylie y Edwin Balmer. La novela tuvo tanto éxito que la misma revista encargó a los autores una continuación, publicada, también por entregas, a lo largo de 1933.
