  • Creating a Superheroine: a Rhetorical Analysis of the X-Men Comic Books
    CREATING A SUPERHEROINE: A RHETORICAL ANALYSIS OF THE X-MEN COMIC BOOKS by Tonya R. Powers A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree MASTER OF ARTS Major Subject: Communication West Texas A&M University Canyon, Texas August, 2016 Approved: __________________________________________________________ [Chair, Thesis Committee] [Date] __________________________________________________________ [Member, Thesis Committee] [Date] __________________________________________________________ [Member, Thesis Committee] [Date] ____________________________________________________ [Head, Major Department] [Date] ____________________________________________________ [Dean, Fine Arts and Humanities] [Date] ____________________________________________________ [Dean, Graduate School] [Date] ii ABSTRACT This thesis is a rhetorical analysis of a two-year X-Men comic book publication that features an entirely female cast. This research was conducted using Kenneth Burke’s theory of terministic screens to evaluate how the authors and artists created the comic books. Sonja Foss’s description of cluster criticism is used to determine key terms in the series and how they were contributed to the creation of characters. I also used visual rhetoric to understand how comic book structure and conventions impacted the visual creation of superheroines. The results indicate that while these superheroines are multi- dimensional characters, they are still created within a male standard of what constitutes a hero. The female characters in the series point to an awareness of diversity in the comic book universe. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to thank my thesis committee chair, Dr. Hanson, for being supportive of me within the last year. Your guidance and pushes in the right direction has made the completion of this thesis possible. You make me understand the kind of educator I wish to be. You would always reply to my late-night emails as soon as you could in the morning.

  • The Study of Novelisation: a Typology and Secondary Bibliography
    Belphégor Thomas Van Parys K.U. Leuven The study of novelisation: A typology and secondary bibliography The phenomenon of novelisation is remarkably widely underresearched, even within adaptation studies, which has generally limited itself – until quite recently – to the one-sided direction of literature to film. Considering that the field of ‘film and literature’, which has vigorously started emancipating itself over the past decade, has traditionally been regarded as only a subfield of film studies, it is obvious that the study of novelisation is rather marginal in the grand scholarly universe, in the film department as well as the literature department. While film adaptation studies focus on the adaptation from novel to film, literary science is primarily occupied with the study of highbrow literature. Needless to say, novelisations are widely derided and discarded as low forms of paraliterature. But the genre is peripheral in content as well, since the novelisation is a ‘hybrid’ form, often mixing film, literature, screenplay, and even film photography into one package. It is in other words ‘the odd novel out’ in the disciplinary academic world. Here I make a plea for more attention to novelisations, not to demand respectability for these novels per se (for bad writing is unfortunately the rule rather than the exception), but to show its significance and ubiquity as a cultural and literary practice. The novelisation is ideally suited to refine, modify, and perhaps subvert the typical pet peeves in film adaptation studies, such as the assumption of linearity or the notion of fidelity. In this essay, though, I will not concern myself much with the theoretical implications or the historical roots of novelisation.
