  • Be Mindful of the Future: Information and Knowledge Management in Star Wars Tie-In Fiction
    Volume 13 Spring 2017 djim.management.dal.ca | Be mindful of the future: information and knowledge management in Star Wars tie-in fiction Diana Castillo School of Information Management, Dalhousie University Abstract In the last fifty years, media franchises have been using tie-in fiction to expand their universes and tell stories outside the main source material. This paper examines how information management is used specifically in Star Wars tie-in fiction and its recent transition to using knowledge management. To start, this paper looks at the history of tie-in fiction from its roots in the 1960s to the modern day, before transitioning to the role of brand managers and editors as information managers. Then, this paper documents the history of Star Wars tie-in fiction and how information management strategies were implemented through 2014 and how it impacted the franchise’s internal continuity. Finally, this paper examines the recent move towards a unified canon and how this shift towards knowledge management has impacted storytelling. This paper concludes that while it is too early to evaluate its results, Star Wars was uniquely situated among franchises to move towards knowledge management through its prior information management efforts. Introduction universes and tell stories they may not be able to tell otherwise. Creating a well-run line In today’s entertainment environment, of tie-in fiction requires coordination between popular franchises are rarely limited to one authors, publishing houses, and the licensing type of media. They license their products company through information management. across various different formats to engage In the context of this paper, information fans and expand their footprint in popular management is defined as working with culture as much as possible.

  • Characterising the Anthropocene: Ecological Degradation in Italian Twenty-First Century Literary Writing
    Characterising the Anthropocene: Ecological Degradation in Italian Twenty-First Century Literary Writing by Alessandro Macilenti A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Italian Literature. Victoria University of Wellington 2015 Abstract The twenty-first century has witnessed the exacerbation of ecological issues that began to manifest themselves in the mid-twentieth century. It has become increasingly clear that the current environmental crisis poses an unprecedented existential threat to civilization as well as to Homo sapiens itself. Whereas the physical and social sciences have been defining the now inevitable transition to a different (and more inhospitable) Earth, the humanities have yet to assert their role as a transformative force within the context of global environmental change. Turning abstract issues into narrative form, literary writing can increase awareness of environmental issues as well as have a deep emotive influence on its readership. To showcase this type of writing as well as the methodological frameworks that best highlights the social and ethical relevance of such texts alongside their literary value, I have selected the following twenty-first century Italian literary works: Roberto Saviano’s Gomorra, Kai Zen’s Delta blues, Wu Ming’s Previsioni del tempo, Simona Vinci’s Rovina, Giancarlo di Cataldo’s Fuoco!, Laura Pugno’s Sirene, and Alessandra Montrucchio’s E poi la sete, all published between 2006 and 2011. The main goal of this study is to demonstrate how these works offer an invaluable opportunity to communicate meaningfully and accessibly the discomforting truths of global environmental change, including ecomafia, waste trafficking, illegal building, arson, ozone depletion, global warming and the dysfunctional relationship between humanity and the biosphere.

  • The Dissemination of Japanese Manga in China
    Lund University Center for East and South-East Asian Studies Masters Programme in Asian studies East and Southeast Asian track Spring semester, 2005 The Dissemination of Japanese Manga in China: The interplay of culture and social transformation in post reform period Author: Yang Wang Supervisor: Anna Jerneck Acknowledgements I want to thank my teachers in Lund University, who gave me the opportunity to do research for my thesis. I want to thank teachers in Waseda University for the summer course. I also want to thank my family who has always been supportive. And finally, I want to thank all the friends I have met with in Sweden, Japan and China. 2 Abstract The thesis is a combination of both research fieldwork in sociology and documentary study on the historical development of Japanese animation (and manga) within China in the past two decades. The author tries to reveal some of the social changes taken place in Chinese society through a prevailing foreign culture that once did not even exist. The thesis examines the background, the initiation and developing course of Japanese animation (and manga) while trying to find out how it was distributed and received in the country. By looking into the history of Japanese animation (and manga) in China, several points can be made to the subject. 1) The timing of Japanese animation (and manga) entering China is to the moment of political and social significance. The distribution and consuming of a once considered children program has reflected almost every corner of the social transformation. 2) It has educated the young generation with a blurred idea of modernity at the first place while partly changed their worldview that driving them further away from the lost tradition.

An error in the novel is that Appo and his troops are incorrectly described as red-armored Coruscant shock troopers, not blue- armored st troopers. My primary problem with it is that while Vader is obsessed with exterminating the Jedi, Sidious considers their threat negligible. The vision of his fortress had been something else. Make an offer:.

This article was initially published “Entre la ciencia ficción y las ciencias sociales: el ‘lado oscuro’ de las ciudades americanas”, EURE XXXIII, no. 99 (August 2007): 65-78. Alain Musset EHESS-GGH-Terres [email protected] Alain Musset is a geographer, profesor at the EHESS (Paris). His research focuses on cities and urban societies in Latin America. Considering science fiction as a social science, he is also interested in the imaginaries of the city and the future visions of our planet (From New York to Coruscant. An Essay of Geofiction, 2005; The Babylonian Syndrome. Geofictions of Apocalypse, 2012). ABSTRACT From the Metropolis of Fritz Lang to the city-planet of Coruscant, capital of the Star Wars galaxy, the city of the future (or of another universe) seems designed to reflect the “dark side” of our contemporary megalopolis which suffer problems presented as insurmountable: traffic jams, contamination, environmental degradation, ethnic conflicts, deficient public services, rising social and spatial disparities, daily violence… In order to develop this imaginary geography of fear, Latin American cities are often a source of inspiration for science fiction authors because they seem to them simultaneously weird and well-known, old and modern, welcoming and dangerous. https://doi.org/10.6092/issn.2611-0075/7713 ISSN 2611-0075 Copyright © 2017 Alain Musset 4.0 KEYWORDS science fiction, social sciences, imaginary cities, american cities, geography of fear Alain Musset Between Science Fiction and Social Sciences: The “Dark Side” of American Cities 2 Between Science Fiction and Social Sciences: Introduction: Urban Imagery and Imaginary Cities From Fritz Lang’s Metropolis to Coruscant, the city-planet devised by 1.
