Despite its gothic trappings and origin in sensationalist fiction, Bram Stoker's Dracula, written in 1897, is a novel that looks forward. At the turn of the nineteenth century, Britons found themselves in a world of new possibilities and new perils –in a society rapidly advancing through imperialist explorations and scientific discoveries while attempting to cling to traditional institutions, men and woman struggled to make sense of the new cultural order. The genre of invasion literature, speaking to the fear of Victorian society becoming tainted by the influence of some creeping foreign Other, proliferated at the turn of the century, and Stoker's threatening depictions of the Transylvanian Count Dracula resonated with his readers. Stoker’s text has continued to resonate with readers, as further social and scientific developments in our modern world allow more and more opportunities to read allegories into the text.

  • Avengers Dissemble! Transmedia Superhero Franchises and Cultic Management
    Taylor 1 Avengers dissemble! Transmedia superhero franchises and cultic management Aaron Taylor, University of Lethbridge Abstract Through a case study of The Avengers (2012) and other recently adapted Marvel Entertainment properties, it will be demonstrated that the reimagined, rebooted and serialized intermedial text is fundamentally fan oriented: a deliberately structured and marketed invitation to certain niche audiences to engage in comparative activities. That is, its preferred spectators are often those opinionated and outspoken fan cultures whose familiarity with the texts is addressed and whose influence within a more dispersed film- going community is acknowledged, courted and potentially colonized. These superhero franchises – neither remakes nor adaptations in the familiar sense – are also paradigmatic byproducts of an adaptive management system that is possible through the appropriation of the economics of continuity and the co-option of online cultic networking. In short, blockbuster intermediality is not only indicative of the economics of post-literary adaptation, but it also exemplifies a corporate strategy that aims for the strategic co- option of potentially unruly niche audiences. Keywords Marvel Comics superheroes post-cinematic adaptations Taylor 2 fandom transmedia cult cinema It is possible to identify a number of recent corporate trends that represent a paradigmatic shift in Hollywood’s attitudes towards and manufacturing of big budget adaptations. These contemporary blockbusters exemplify the new industrial logic of transmedia franchises – serially produced films with a shared diegetic universe that can extend within and beyond the cinematic medium into correlated media texts. Consequently, the narrative comprehension of single entries within such franchises requires an increasing degree of media literacy or at least a residual awareness of the intended interrelations between correlated media products.

    What You Need to Know Tomb of Dracula is a groundbreaking comic, marking Marvel’s first vampire character with his own series, as well as one of the company’s earliest forays into continuous storytelling. Dark, moody, and often considered one of the era’s best, Tomb of Dracula set the tone for Marvel’s future approach to horror. Tomb of Dracula #10 features the first appearance of Blade the Vampire Slayer - one of Marvel’s earliest Black comic book heroes - whose past (and ruthlessness) sets him apart from the book's other vampire hunters.

Marvel had already tested the waters with a "quasi-vampire" character, Morbius, the Living Vampire, but the company was now prepared to launch a regular vampire title as part of its new line of horror books. After some discussion, it was decided to use the Dracula character, one of the most famous vampire to the general public. The Tomb of Dracula is an American horror comic book series published by Marvel Comics from April 1972 to August 1979. The 70-issue series featured a group of vampire hunters who fought Count Dracula and other supernatural menaces.

  • Poster Vampires Exist
    Vampires exist! Models of the peaceful co-existence of vampires and humans based on the scenarios derived from fiction literature, comic books and films Based on the works of Emily Welkins: www.emilywelkins.com Aims and objectives If vampires were real and lived amongst us, would their existence be possible from the The Harris-Meyer-Kostova model scientific point of view? This study presents a new approach to modeling inter-temporal interactions between vampires and humans based on several types of vampire behavior described in popular fiction literature, comic books, films and TV series. Several scenarios of vampire-human co-existence are drawn and mathematical models are applied to test whether vampires could have existed amongst us today and under what provisions. This research tackles a ridiculous subject using serious mathematical tools. It analyzes what is further called “The Stoker-King model” (based on Bram Stoker’s “Dracula” and Stephen King’s “’Salem’s Lot”), “The Rice model” (after Anne Rice’s “Vampire where H denotes humans, V denotes vampires and VS denotes vampire slayers. H0 is the initial state of Chronicles”), “The Harris-Meyer-Kostova model” (based on Charlaine Harris’s human population, kH denotes the exponential growth of human population, v0 is the initial state of vampire population, aHV and baHV both describe interactions between a human and a vampire (with a as the “Southern Vampire Series”, Stephanie Meyer’s “Twilight saga” and Elizabeth Kostova’s coefficient of a lethal outcome for vampire-human interaction for humans and b as the coefficient “The Historian”, “The Whedon model” (based on Joss Whedon’s “Buffy the Vampire describing the rate with which humans are turned into vampires) and cV denotes the death rate for Slayer” TV series) and “The Blade model” (based on Marvel Comics’ “Blade”).

  • The Hybrid Turn: What the Figure of the Vampire Hunter Tells Us About the Humanities in the Twenty-First Century
    Readings - a journal for scholars and readers Volume 3 (2017), Issue 1 The Hybrid Turn: What the Figure of the Vampire Hunter Tells Us about the Humanities in the Twenty-First Century Jonathan Elmore and Rick Elmore, Savannah State University and Appalachian State University Our essay grounds the epistemological task of the vampire hunter in Stoker’s Dracula and then explores the changing representations of these figures and their task in later media including Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Twilight, Blade, True Blood, The Vampire Diaries, and Breaking Dawn. Traversing the realms of logic as well as representation and faith, we trace components of the epistemological task of the vampire hunter that demand a challenge to deeply held beliefs about the nature of reality and the horizon of what is possible and impossible. We close with the exciting provocation such a critique offers a (post) humanities. Introduction Two seemingly unrelated trends have been underway for the past twenty odd years: the state of the humanities in American higher education has continued to erode, and there has been a marked increase in the appearance of vampire narratives in American fiction and popular culture. We argue, quite simply, that these trends can be meaningfully connected. More specifically, throughout this piece, we demonstrate the pedagogical resonances between a certain traditional paradigm of the vampire hunters, typified in the figure of Abraham Van Helsing, and humanities professors. This paradigm figures the relationship between humans and vampires as one of antagonism, in which, humanity's response to vampires can only be one of fear and violence.
