  • En El Cómic Nadie Puede Oír Tus Gritos: a Propósito De Las Adaptaciones Del Cine Al Cómic1
    En el cómic nadie puede oír tus gritos: a propósito de las adaptaciones del cine al cómic 25 EN EL CÓMIC NADIE PUEDE OÍR TUS GRITOS: A PROPÓSITO DE LAS ADAPTACIONES DEL CINE AL CÓMIC1 Eduard BAILE LÓPEZ Dept. de Filologia Catalana-Aula de Còmic (Universitat d’Alacant) RESUMEN En este artículo se propone un acercamiento a las adaptaciones del cine al cómic, a menudo dejadas de lado en comparación con el fenómeno inverso, más habitual y de mayor impacto mediático. Ciertamente, el camino que lleva del celuloide a las viñetas suele estar plagado de obras olvidables, a menudo fruto tan solo de intereses publicitarios, pero pensamos que, bajo una premisa intermedial, se puede proponer un compendio breve de ejemplos merecedores de análisis. Así pues, queremos presentar una propuesta de diez ítems que se constituyen como una suerte de canon artístico expuesto al debate. Posteriormente, una de las obras escogidas, Alien: The Illustrated Story (1979), será objeto específico de reflexión como ítem modélico. Palabras clave: cómic, cine, adaptación, intermedialidad. 1. LOS CAMINOS QUE CONDUCEN A LAS ADAPTACIONES (EN CÓMIC) SON INESCRUTABLES La valoración y la conveniencia de adaptar una obra de un medio a otro ha sido, a menudo, un tema controvertido, bien por juicios apriorísticos de muy dudosa profundidad respecto a las cualidades supuestamente inherentes a cada arte (abandonemos ya el debate sobre la alta y la baja cultura) o bien, en un plano de crítica intelectual más honesta, por las dificultades de traslación si fuera la circunstancia de que uno de los ítems estuviera 1 La elaboración de este artículo se integra dentro del proyecto europeo Investigation on Comics and Graphic Novels in the Iberian Cultural Area (CA19119-iCOn-MICS) y de la red de docencia universitaria Coneixement del cànon artístic del còmic a les aules universitàries: possibilitats didàctiques.

  • Crossmedia Adaptation and the Development of Continuity in the Dc Animated Universe
    “INFINITE EARTHS”: CROSSMEDIA ADAPTATION AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF CONTINUITY IN THE DC ANIMATED UNIVERSE Alex Nader A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2015 Committee: Jeff Brown, Advisor Becca Cragin © 2015 Alexander Nader All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeff Brown, Advisor This thesis examines the process of adapting comic book properties into other visual media. I focus on the DC Animated Universe, the popular adaptation of DC Comics characters and concepts into all-ages programming. This adapted universe started with Batman: The Animated Series and comprised several shows on multiple networks, all of which fit into a shared universe based on their comic book counterparts. The adaptation of these properties is heavily reliant to intertextuality across DC Comics media. The shared universe developed within the television medium acted as an early example of comic book media adapting the idea of shared universes, a process that has been replicated with extreme financial success by DC and Marvel (in various stages of fruition). I address the process of adapting DC Comics properties in television, dividing it into “strict” or “loose” adaptations, as well as derivative adaptations that add new material to the comic book canon. This process was initially slow, exploding after the first series (Batman: The Animated Series) changed networks and Saturday morning cartoons flourished, allowing for more opportunities for producers to create content. References, crossover episodes, and the later series Justice League Unlimited allowed producers to utilize this shared universe to develop otherwise impossible adaptations that often became lasting additions to DC Comics publishing.

  • Manga As a Teaching Tool 1
    Manga as a Teaching Tool 1 Manga as a Teaching Tool: Comic Books Without Borders Ikue Kunai, California State University, East Bay Clarissa C. S. Ryan, California State University, East Bay Proceedings of the CATESOL State Conference, 2007 Manga as a Teaching Tool 2 Manga as a Teaching Tool: Comic Books Without Borders The [manga] titles are flying off the shelves. Students who were not interested in EFL have suddenly become avid readers ...students get hooked and read [a] whole series within days. (E. Kane, personal communication, January 17, 2007) For Americans, it may be difficult to comprehend the prominence of manga, or comic books, East Asia.1. Most East Asian nations both produce their own comics and publish translated Japanese manga, so Japanese publications are popular across the region and beyond. Japan is well-known as a highly literate society; what is less well-known is the role that manga plays in Japanese text consumption (Consulate General of Japan in San Francisco). 37% of all publications sold in Japan are manga of one form or another, including monthly magazines, collections, etc. (Japan External Trade Organization [JETRO], 2006). Although Japan has less than half the population of the United States, manga in all formats amounted to sales within Japan of around 4 billion dollars in 2005 (JETRO, 2006). This total is about seven times the United States' 2005 total comic book, manga, and graphic novel sales of 565 million dollars (Publisher's Weekly, 2007a, 2007b). Additionally, manga is closely connected to the Japanese animation industry, as most anime2 television series and films are based on manga; manga also provides inspiration for Japan's thriving video game industry.

  • Graphic Novels: Enticing Teenagers Into the Library
    School of Media, Culture and Creative Arts Department of Information Studies Graphic Novels: Enticing Teenagers into the Library Clare Snowball This thesis is presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Curtin University of Technology March 2011 Declaration To the best of my knowledge and belief this thesis contains no material previously published by any other person except where due acknowledgement has been made. This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma in any university. Signature: _____________________________ Date: _________________________________ Page i Abstract This thesis investigates the inclusion of graphic novels in library collections and whether the format encourages teenagers to use libraries and read in their free time. Graphic novels are bound paperback or hardcover works in comic-book form and cover the full range of fiction genres, manga (Japanese comics), and also nonfiction. Teenagers are believed to read less in their free time than their younger counterparts. The importance of recreational reading necessitates methods to encourage teenagers to enjoy reading and undertake the pastime. Graphic novels have been discussed as a popular format among teenagers. As with reading, library use among teenagers declines as they age from childhood. The combination of graphic novel collections in school and public libraries may be a solution to both these dilemmas. Teenagers’ views were explored through focus groups to determine their attitudes toward reading, libraries and their use of libraries; their opinions on reading for school, including reading for English classes and gathering information for school assignments; and their liking for different reading materials, including graphic novels.

  • Korean Webtoons' Transmedia Storytelling
    International Journal of Communication 13(2019), 2094–2115 1932–8036/20190005 Snack Culture’s Dream of Big-Screen Culture: Korean Webtoons’ Transmedia Storytelling DAL YONG JIN1 Simon Fraser University, Canada The sociocultural reasons for the growth of webtoons as snack culture and snack culture’s influence in big-screen culture have received little scholarly attention. By employing media convergence supported by transmedia storytelling as a theoretical framework alongside historical and textual analyses, this article historicizes the emergence of snack culture. It divides the evolution of snack culture—in particular, webtoon culture—to big-screen culture into three periods according to the surrounding new media ecology. Then it examines the ways in which webtoons have become a resource for transmedia storytelling. Finally, it addresses the reasons why small snack culture becomes big-screen culture with the case of Along With the Gods: The Two Worlds, which has transformed from a popular webtoon to a successful big-screen movie. Keywords: snack culture, webtoon, transmedia storytelling, big-screen culture, media convergence Snack culture—the habit of consuming information and cultural resources quickly rather than engaging at a deeper level—is becoming representative of the Korean cultural scene. It is easy to find Koreans reading news articles or watching films or dramas on their smartphones on a subway. To cater to this increasing number of mobile users whose tastes are changing, web-based cultural content is churning out diverse subgenres from conventional formats of movies, dramas, cartoons, and novels (Chung, 2014, para. 1). The term snack culture was coined by Wired in 2007 to explain a modern tendency to look for convenient culture that is indulged in within a short duration of time, similar to how people eat snacks such as cookies within a few minutes.

  • Supervillain Detention!
    Supervillain Detention! Your team has just helped Elemento, a superhero, to capture Dr. Chrono, a local villain who has the superpower to speed up time and can produce water from her fingers. This can cause some metals to rust and crumble instantly. She can also control metals that are magnetic. She must remain in our custody until she can be taken to the police for questioning. There is a small room that we can use but we will need to keep the door closed so she can’t sneak out while we rest. Several types of nails/fasteners are available but we must be careful. Elemento is vulnerable to aluminum (it is toxic and makes him weak). His superpower is heat which is used to melt any plastic he touches. Your task is to examine the available nails/fasteners and suggest what Elemento should use to secure the door to Dr. Crono’s place of temporary confinement. You will make a recommendation based on evidence from your tests and observations. Complete the data table below about the strengths and weaknesses of Dr. Chrono and Elemento. Dr. Chrono Elemento In your group, brainstorm at least five characteristics or properties of six materials that you can test. Here are the materials that are available for testing: • • Aluminum foil Aluminum nail 1 Next Generation Science Standards • Battery and bulb • Magnets • Common Iron nail • Plastic screw or anchor • Concrete screw • Sandpaper • Copper nail • Small cups of water and lime • Galvanized nail or lemon juice • Wooden dowel or lathe • Small magnets • Hand lenses • Stainless steel nail • Tape Chemists use specific characteristics or properties to describe and classify materials.
