Until rather recently, educational opportunities be­ yond high school were limited to junior and senior colleges and universities. The programs provided by these institu­ tions served the needs of a relatively select group of indi­ viduals. As a result, the educational needs of many people went unmet, while the demand for better educated and more highly trained individuals continued to increase. Comprehensive community colleges are being estab­ lished with increa~ing frequency to serve such needs and demands. The programs provided therein vary widely in design and content, in order that the greatest number of people of widely diverse needs, interests and abilities may be served. Thus, comprehensive community colleges pro­ vide programs for the career-oriented and the college transfer student, for the mature adult and the recent high school graduate and for the individual who wishes to com­ plete high school, the one who has completed college, or the elderly. Kirkwood Community College is such an institution. It provides many different educational programs for the peo­ ple who live in Area Ten. These programs are described briefly in the pages which follow. I hope you will find some­ thing of interest and worth as you read through them. Selby A.

Portrayals of police characters are divided into three distinct categories: incompetents used as a source of comedy; bland and consistently unsuccessful nemeses to charismatic criminals, used to encourage the audience to support and favor these criminals; or cold antagonists fanatically devoted to their personal definition of ‘justice’, who cause audiences to question the system that created them. This paper also examines Western influences, such as Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes and Victor Hugo’s Inspector Javert, on these modern media portrayals.

    Japanese Animation Guide: the History of Robot Anime by Japan's

    Commissioned by Japan's Agency for Cultural Affairs Manga, Animation, Games, and Media Art Information Bureau Japanese Animation Guide: The History of Robot Anime Compiled by Mori Building Co., Ltd. 2013 Addition to the Release of this Report This report on robot anime was prepared based on information available through 2012, and at that time, with the exception of a handful of long-running series (Gundam, Macross, Evangelion, etc.) and some kiddie fare, no original new robot anime shows debuted at all. But as of today that situation has changed, and so I feel the need to add two points to this document. At the start of the anime season in April of 2013, three all-new robot anime series debuted. These were Production I.G.'s “Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet," Sunrise's “Valvrave the Liberator," and Dogakobo and Orange's “Majestic Prince of the Galactic Fleet." Each was broadcast in a late-night timeslot and succeeded in building fanbases. The second new development is the debut of the director Guillermo Del Toro's film “Pacific Rim," which was released in Japan on August 9, 2013. The plot involves humanity using giant robots controlled by human pilots to defend Earth’s cities from gigantic “kaiju.” At the end of the credits, the director dedicates the film to the memory of “monster masters” Ishiro Honda (who oversaw many of the “Godzilla” films) and Ray Harryhausen (who pioneered stop-motion animation techniques.) The film clearly took a great deal of inspiration from Japanese robot anime shows. The separate “Survey and Report on Japanese Tokusatsu,” which was prepared in parallel with this report, explained the deep connection between “monster-versus-hero" (tokusatsu) productions and robot anime shows.

    The Significance of Manga in the Identity-Construction of Young American Adults: a Lacanian Approach

    The Significance of Manga in the Identity-Construction of Young American Adults: A Lacanian Approach Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Hsiao-ping Chen, M.A Graduate Program in Art Education The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: Sydney Walker, Advisor Maureen Donovan Jennifer Eisenhauer Patricia Stuhr Copyright by Hsiao-ping Chen 2011 Abstract This dissertation examines the identity construction of five manga fans by exploring their creation of comics and their cosplay. Certain identity themes emerged through a Lacanian interpretation using a qualitative/interpretivist paradigm. Data collection relied primarily on semi-structured, in-depth interviews with participants, and included their cosplay photos as well as their manga drawings and stories. Specifically, Lacan’s concepts of the Imaginary, the Symbolic, and the Real were used to interpret these participants’ identities. The study showed not only that identity is not always determined by the Symbolic (conscious act), but also that it is governed by unconscious desire and fantasy (of the Real). While unconscious desire (Real) continues to break the fixibility of identity, the Symbolic remains an oppressed ruling Other that determines which identity is positive and which negative. The Imaginary is a most important outlet in terms of identity building for the subject, the freedom to make changes, and the power to heal one’s fixity against change (provide hope) in light of the Other’s gaze. Some of Lacan’s concepts—gaze, fantasy, desire/lack, camouflage—are also discussed by way of explaining identity-related themes.

Cross Game is a moving drama that is heartfelt and true, yet in the brilliant hands of manga artist Mitsuru Adachi, delightfully flows with a light and amusing touch. The series centers around a boy named Ko, the family of four sisters who live down the street and the game of baseball.

  • The Works of Mitsuru Adachi: a Study

    The Works of Mitsuru Adachi: a Study

    The Works of Mitsuru Adachi: A Study Micah Lamdin Graphically Speaking 5/11/06 Of all the genres of manga, shounen is probably the most popular. As of 2003, Shonen Jump, the widest-circulated of the shounen magazines, was outselling Ribon (its shoujo equivalent) by more than 3 to 11. Yet for all its popularity, there is a surprising lack of variety in the genre. Many protagonists, especially in romantic storylines, share similar characteristics, and a lot of the plots and storylines are predictable. Often, the humor is formulaic and relies on a number of tired clichés. In the midst of all this is the mangaka Mitsuru Adachi, who has been writing sports/romance manga since the 1970s. One of the first and one of the best, Adachi’s storytelling stands out for its elegant simplicity and subtle characterization, and as he writes his fourth baseball epic, Adachi remains on top of his game. Adachi’s stories almost invariably focus on high school sports; his protagonists grow up simultaneously on the field and off, engaging in their first romances as they strive for championships. Baseball is his favorite sport; he even owns a team, Vitamin A2, so it is not surprising that his best-known and longest works (Touch and H2) are focused on baseball. Still, Adachi has tackled a wide variety of subjects, including swimming (Rough), boxing (Katsu!, Slow Step), and soccer (Jinbe). He also has some non-sports projects: Miyuki and Hiatari Ryoukou are pure romance (though the latter has sports in the background), and Niji Iro Togarashi is a fantasy tale.
