Tracing Posthuman Cannibalism: Animality and the Animal/Human Boundary in the Texas Chain Saw Massacre Movies
The Cine-Files, Issue 14 (spring 2019) Tracing Posthuman Cannibalism: Animality and the Animal/Human Boundary in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre Movies Ece Üçoluk Krane In this article I will consider insights emerging from the field of Animal Studies in relation to a selection of films in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (hereafter TCSM) franchise. By paying close attention to the construction of the animal subject and the human-animal relation in the TCSM franchise, I will argue that the original 1974 film, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre II (1986) and the 2003 reboot The Texas Chain Saw Massacre all transgress the human-animal boundary in order to critique “carnism.”1 As such, these films exemplify “posthuman cannibalism,” which I define as a trope that transgresses the human-nonhuman boundary to undermine speciesism and anthropocentrism. In contrast, the most recent installment in the TCSM franchise Leatherface (2017) paradoxically disrupts the human-animal boundary only to re-establish it, thereby diverging from the earlier films’ critiques of carnism. For Communication scholar and animal advocate Carrie Packwood Freeman, the human/animal duality lying at the heart of speciesism is something humans have created in their own minds.2 That is, we humans typically do not consider ourselves animals, even though we may acknowledge evolution as a factual account of human development. Freeman proposes that we begin to transform this hegemonic mindset by creating language that would help humans rhetorically reconstruct themselves as animals. Specifically, she calls for the replacement of the term “human” with “humanimal” and the term “animal” with “nonhuman animal.”3 The advantage of Freeman’s terms is that instead of being mutually exclusive, they are mutually inclusive terms that foreground commonalities between humans and animals instead of differences.

“Why So Serious?” Comics, Film and Politics, Or the Comic Book Film As the Answer to the Question of Identity and Narrative in a Post-9/11 World
ABSTRACT “WHY SO SERIOUS?” COMICS, FILM AND POLITICS, OR THE COMIC BOOK FILM AS THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION OF IDENTITY AND NARRATIVE IN A POST-9/11 WORLD by Kyle Andrew Moody This thesis analyzes a trend in a subgenre of motion pictures that are designed to not only entertain, but also provide a message for the modern world after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The analysis provides a critical look at three different films as artifacts of post-9/11 culture, showing how the integration of certain elements made them allegorical works regarding the status of the United States in the aftermath of the attacks. Jean Baudrillard‟s postmodern theory of simulation and simulacra was utilized to provide a context for the films that tap into themes reflecting post-9/11 reality. The results were analyzed by critically examining the source material, with a cultural criticism emerging regarding the progression of this subgenre of motion pictures as meaningful work. “WHY SO SERIOUS?” COMICS, FILM AND POLITICS, OR THE COMIC BOOK FILM AS THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION OF IDENTITY AND NARRATIVE IN A POST-9/11 WORLD A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Miami University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Communications Mass Communications Area by Kyle Andrew Moody Miami University Oxford, Ohio 2009 Advisor ___________________ Dr. Bruce Drushel Reader ___________________ Dr. Ronald Scott Reader ___________________ Dr. David Sholle TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ..........................................................................................................................

Jessica Biel
Jessica Biel Jessica Biel is a Hollywood sex symbol: Every guy dreams about her, and every women dreams of looking like her. Born on March 3, 1982, she always had an interest in all things theatrical, taking voice and dance lessons as a child. At age 11, she took part in a modeling competition and won an acting scholarship for a school in Los Angeles. She landed her breakout role on the family drama 7th Heaven, playing Mary Camden. She then appeared in films like Ulee’s Gold and I’ll Be Home for Christmas. After a year of college, she went back to L.A. to focus on acting, nabbing roles in Summer Catch, Rules of Attraction, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Blade: Trinity, Stealth, I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, Valentine’s Day, and Hitchcock. Off-camera, the actress supports numerous social causes, and most recently, she used her celebrity status to help turn the spotlight on the global water crisis. At the start of her career, Jessica Biel dated Adam LaVorgna, who she met on the set of I’ll Be Home for Christmas. The young famous couple made it work for three years before they split. She started dating Chris Evans in 2004, and soon after their celebrity break-up, she was spotted spending a lot of time with baseball player Derek Jeter. Although they only lasted a year, they sure did look good together! Then, the beautiful brunette broke all our hearts and took Justin Timberlake off the market. They started dating in 2007 and got hitched in Italy in October 2012.

Natalie Dormer and Gene Tierney With HBO's massively successful fantasy series Game of Thrones finally over and a whole slew of spinoff series coming down the pipeline soon enough , many fans of the show are left wondering what star Natalie Dormer will do next. For instance, they've starred in the Ocean's film series and Burn After Reading. Here's What to Expect for the Super Bowl. It can't be denied that everyone knows her name. It can sometimes feel like society has hit a new level of boy craziness sometimes. Lea Michele and Naya Rivera The cast of Glee was riddled with as much in-house drama as a real-life glee club. When Lea Michele started gaining a massive fanbase, other characters started receiving fewer lines and less-important storylines. If more than one person in your household wants to vote, each person will need to create a personal ABC account. More than one person can use the same computer or device to vote, but each person needs to log out after voting. The achievement or service doesn't involve participation in aerial flight, and it can occur during engagement against a U. As such, it must be said that both these two stars deserve far more praise than they typically receive. As it turns out, the coffee business didn't quite work out.

My Power Is in My Feet
Sketch Volume 80, Number 2 2017 Article 12 My Power is in My Feet Shelby Dill∗ ∗Iowa State University Copyright c 2017 by the authors. Sketch is produced by The Berkeley Electronic Press (bepress). http://lib.dr.iastate.edu/sketch My Power is in My Feet By Shelby Dill Before I was even born, Michelle Pfeifer zipped up her black leather suit, put on her cat ears, and strutted the streets of Gotham in the movie Batman Returns. Catwoman wrestled on rooftops with Bruce Wayne before I was even a thought in my mother’s mind. My preexistent self had no notion the dangers of being born a girl, but as Pfeifer was fung out the window by Christopher Walken, she knew. She knew as she lifted her butt in the air while villain Oswald Cobblepot groaned at the sight of her. She slowly looked down at her curved body, exposing powdered on dark eye shadow. “The thought of busting Batman makes me feel all…dirty,” she said. “Maybe I’ll just give myself a bath right here.” As she licked her arm up and down, Oswald gazed on, knowing he’ll do just about anything she asks of him. But perhaps the most poignant of all was the kiss that killed the evil Max Shrek. Her literally electrifying kiss had sparks fying as it burned Christopher Walken to the bone. That would be the last time Catwoman was on screen for about twelve years. Two years after the electrifying kiss, I would be born. Eight years after that, I would be the one girl in my neighborhood, playing kickball against all the boys.
