  • Reimagining Dodge Appendices A
    APPENDIX A DODGE CITY HISTORICAL ESSAY William M. Hunter, M.A. Heberling Associates, Inc. A-1 Dodge City Although seemingly remote, Dodge City has always linked to the broader world in important ways. Dodge City, working through the urban centers of the Middle West, was the meeting place of country and city where cattlemen from the prairie states accessed eastern markets (Cronon 1991:211-212). Indeed, the ecological transformation of mixed prairie into the current agriculture is but one manifestation of the interpenetration of city and country that continues to characterize the production of landscape (Cronon 1991: 212). The settlement of the area around Dodge by migrants from the Old Northwest introduced agents of landscape change into a new environment, one dependent on weather and climate and subject to drought (Cronon 1991:214). Only through extensive irrigation and the development of special techniques could farmers consistently produce staple crops, forcing many to adapt to the conditions and turn from the cultivation of wheat to the raising of livestock. However, if livestock was to become the foundation of a new western agriculture, farmers and ranchers had to transform the landscape by confining or eliminating its original human and animal inhabitants, particularly the vast millions of American bison (Cronon 1991:214). Prior to advent of the railroad, the herd of bison was a defining feature of the grasslands. With the introduction of the world economy into the region, market and sport hunters prized the bison, like the earlier furbearing animals of the east and upper Midwest, as commodities (Cronon 1991:216). The perfection of tanning bison hide by 1870 doomed the herds.

  • The Formation of Temporary Communities in Anime Fandom: a Story of Bottom-Up Globalization ______
    THE FORMATION OF TEMPORARY COMMUNITIES IN ANIME FANDOM: A STORY OF BOTTOM-UP GLOBALIZATION ____________________________________ A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of California State University, Fullerton ____________________________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in Geography ____________________________________ By Cynthia R. Davis Thesis Committee Approval: Mark Drayse, Department of Geography & the Environment, Chair Jonathan Taylor, Department of Geography & the Environment Zia Salim, Department of Geography & the Environment Summer, 2017 ABSTRACT Japanese animation, commonly referred to as anime, has earned a strong foothold in the American entertainment industry over the last few decades. Anime is known by many to be a more mature option for animation fans since Western animation has typically been sanitized to be “kid-friendly.” This thesis explores how this came to be, by exploring the following questions: (1) What were the differences in the development and perception of the animation industries in Japan and the United States? (2) Why/how did people in the United States take such interest in anime? (3) What is the role of anime conventions within the anime fandom community, both historically and in the present? These questions were answered with a mix of historical research, mapping, and interviews that were conducted in 2015 at Anime Expo, North America’s largest anime convention. This thesis concludes that anime would not have succeeded as it has in the United States without the heavy involvement of domestic animation fans. Fans created networks, clubs, and conventions that allowed for the exchange of information on anime, before Japanese companies started to officially release anime titles for distribution in the United States.

  • FILM & TV GENRES: the Western
    FILM & TV GENRES: The Western [J-Term, Taos, 2016] FILM 3300-0012 Dr. RICK WORLAND SMU Fort Burgwin Campus, Taos, NM. Daily, Jan 4-13. 9:00am-Noon; and 1:00-4:00pm. Hours: No regular office hours for J-term; email or see me after class. Phone: 214/768-3708 (Main campus office) email: [email protected] Required Text: Mary Lea Bandy & Kevin Stoehr, Ride, Boldly Ride: The Evolution of the American Western. (UC Press, 2012). Course Description: The genre film is inextricably linked with the Hollywood style of production. Yet our assumption will be that popular movie genres are not simply entertainment; they also present, challenge, and negotiate particular cultural values, assumptions, and conflicts. The Western is probably the most studied genre since it is closely tied in complex ways to American history itself. Until the mid 1970s, the Western was also the most perennially popular American movie genre; at this point it virtually disappeared. Why? The objectives of the class are: i) to describe some of the major conventions and concerns of the Western genre and its history; ii) introduce some concepts about the function of popular genres generally; iii) provide tools of film criticism and analysis applicable to a variety of films and genres. iv) understand how and why the Western evolved in relation to particular industry and historical forces over the years. Overall, we will study the movies with reference to American culture. Instructor Bio: Dr. Rick Worland received his Ph.D. in Motion Picture/Television Critical Studies from UCLA. He is a Professor in the Division of Film & Media Arts at SMU where his teaching includes Film History, Documentary, popular genres including the Western and the horror film, television history, and the films of Alfred Hitchcock.

  • Twisted Trails of the Wold West by Matthew Baugh © 2006
    Twisted Trails of the Wold West By Matthew Baugh © 2006 The Old West was an interesting place, and even more so in the Wold- Newton Universe. Until fairly recently only a few of the heroes and villains who inhabited the early western United States had been confirmed through crossover stories as existing in the WNU. Several comic book miniseries have done a lot to change this, and though there are some problems fitting each into the tapestry of the WNU, it has been worth the effort. Marvel Comics’ miniseries, Rawhide Kid: Slap Leather was a humorous storyline, parodying the Kid’s established image and lampooning westerns in general. It is best known for ‘outing’ the Kid as a homosexual. While that assertion remains an open issue with fans, it isn’t what causes the problems with incorporating the story into the WNU. What is of more concern are the blatant anachronisms and impossibilities the story offers. We can accept it, but only with the caveat that some of the details have been distorted for comic effect. When the Rawhide Kid is established as a character in the Wold-Newton Universe he provides links to a number of other western characters, both from the Marvel Universe and from classic western novels and movies. It draws in the Marvel Comics series’ Blaze of Glory, Apache Skies, and Sunset Riders as wall as DC Comics’ The Kents. As with most Marvel and DC characters there is the problem with bringing in the mammoth superhero continuities of the Marvel and DC universes, though this is not insurmountable.

Cambridge: Cambridge UP, 2006. 374-391. Hollywood, soon to become the United States’ national film industry, was founded in the early teens by a group of film companies which came to Los Angeles at first to escape the winter conditions of their New York- and Chicago-based production locations. However, the advantages of production in southern California—particularly the varied landscapes in the region crucial for exterior, on-location photography—soon made Hollywood the dominant film production center in the country.i Hollywood, of course, is not synonymous with filmmaking in the United States. Before the early 1910s, American filmmaking was mostly New York-based, and specialized in the production of short films (circa 1909, a one-reel short, or approximately 10 minutes). At the time, French film companies dominated global film distribution, and it was more likely that one would see a French film in the United States than an American-produced one.

The third photograph is of another White Bull ledger drawing in which he is shown taking horses from General Terry’s advancing column at the Little Big Horn River, Montana, 1876. Of this act, White Bull stated, “This made my name known, taken from those coming below, soldiers and Crows were camped there.” Available from University of Oklahoma Western History Collections 630 Parrington Oval, Room 452 Norman, Oklahoma 73019 No state-appropriated funds were used to publish this guide.
