I hope everyone had a good E-mail: [email protected] Web: www.protoculture-mag.com summer and that the wait for this issue of Protoculture Addicts wasn’t too hard. We’re E d i t o r i a l S t a f f very pleased with all the positive comments we received regarding the last issue. We’re Publisher Christopher Macdonald [CM] very glad you like it. A few other people at a few distributors also liked the issue, so we’ll be Editor-in-chief Claude J. Pelletier [CJP] opening up some new distribution channels in the near future. Obviously this is a big deal Contributing Editor / Translator Miyako Matsuda [MM] for us, but since you already receive Protoculture Addicts at your local store or by mail, Associate-Editor Bamboo Dong [BD], Jonathan Mays [JM] you might wonder, “why should this matter to me?” Well, more distribution hopefully Copy Editor Julia Struthers-Jobin equates to more sales, which equates to more revenue. Since our goal at Protoculture Interns Addicts has never been to “get rich,” more revenue simply means more money to spend Natalie Khor, Steven Thach C o n t r i b u t i n g W r i t e r s on the magazine. Maybe future issues will have more pages (and for the same price, Zac Bertschy [ZB], Sean Broestl [SB], Dormcat, perhaps?) or we’ll be able to put together better content; more money means more staff, Theron Martin [TM], Todd Matthy, Carlo Santos [CS], James S. Taylor [JT] which means more time for each staff member to do a better job on the articles they are Advertising & Business Issues focusing on. So cross your fingers and hope for good things for this magazine. Our only Christopher Macdonald ([email protected]) goal is to make a magazine worthy of you, the reader. C o v e r Provided by Geneon. Hellsing © Kouta Hirano • Shonen Gahousha Co., Ltd. / Wild Geese. Cover layout by Istvan Pusztai. In this issue we take a look at Ai Yazawa’s Nana and Paradise Kiss. While both these titles S p e c i a l T h a n k s are geared towards female readers, they are still very “cross-demographic,” appealing to a To Bill Lai, Bob Brown, Chris Oar, Dallas Middaugh, Danielle Garnier, Erik Jansen, Evelyn Dubocq, Jason Alnas, Jeff lot of fans who don’t fall into the primary target demographic. I happen to be a big fan of Bowring, Keith Burgess, Lance Heiskell, Osamu Maseba, Richard Tong, Rod Peters, Susan Hale, Sylverster Ip, Tamara Yazawa’s work, and I hope that all our readers, guys included, take a look at these articles Shumate, and Tricia Narwani for their help and support. and consider sampling Nana or Paradise Kiss in one of their many incarnations (Manga, S U B S C R I P T I O N 6 issues: $30 US/Can (in Canada add $1.80 GST; in Que- anime, or live-action). bec add $4.19 GST & PST) or $45 US overseas.

D I S T R I B U T I O N Like Nana and Paradise Kiss, Hellsing is among the very best that its genre has to offer and In Canada: Cosmix ((514) 744-9494), Disticor ((800) 668- 7724), Marché Clandestin (www.mcanime.com), Middleman is worth a look, even if you aren’t usually interested in supernatural action/horror.

  • The Inferiority Complex of Homunculus in Hiromu Arakawa's
    The Inferiority Complex of Homunculus in Hiromu Arakawa’s Fullmetal Alchemist Thenady, T.P.1 and Limanta, L.S.2 1,2) English Department, Faculty of Letters, Petra Christian University, Siwalankerto 121-131, Surabaya 60236, East Java, INDONESIA e-mails: [email protected]; [email protected] ABSTRACT This article explores the causes and effects of inferiority complex in a character of a manga created by Hiromu Arakawa, Fullmetal Alchemist. Commonly seen as a child’s play and underestimated by the society of literature, comic book or manga actually has the same quality as those considered as literary arts and stands equally with them. It embraces issues freely without the restriction of social rules and individual or group and uncontaminated by social, personal, or political influences. One of the issues most people think will not be in a comic book is psychology. Started from comparing himself to humans, the main antagonist, Homunculus, suffers from an inferiority complex caused by several factors such as parental attitude, physical defects, and envy. Furthermore, as the effect of suffering inferiority complex, Homunculus develops psychological defenses to ease his inferiorities: compensation and superiority complex. He tries to compensate his inferior feelings by excelling in another area and covers up the inferiorities by striving for superiority and omnipotence. Keywords: Manga, Alchemist, Homunculus, Inferiority Complex, Compensation, Superiority Complex Hiromu Arakawa is a Hokkaido-born manga artist whose career began with Stray Dog in 1999. One of her most successful works is Fullmetal Alchemist. This manga had won numerous awards such as 49th Shogakukan Manga Award for shounen category, 15th Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize “New Artist” category, and 9th 21st Century Shounen Gangan Award (Shogakukan).

From the 1970s to the present, the Comic Market (hereafter Comiket) has been a leading venue for manga and anime fan activi- ties in Japan. Over the three days of the convention, more than thirty-seven thousand groups participate, and their dōjinshi (self-published fan fiction) and character goods generate ¥10 billion in sales.1 Contrary to the common stereo- type of anime/manga cult fans—the so-called otaku—who are males in their twenties and thirties, more than 70 percent of the participants in this fan fic- tion market are reported to be women in their twenties and thirties.2 Dōjinshi have created a locus where female fans vigorously explore identities and desires that are usually not expressed openly in public. The overwhelming majority of women’s fan fiction consists of stories that adapt characters from official me- dia to portray male–male homosexual romance and/or erotica.

  • Lucan's Natural Questions: Landscape and Geography in the Bellum Civile Laura Zientek a Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulf
    Lucan’s Natural Questions: Landscape and Geography in the Bellum Civile Laura Zientek A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2014 Reading Committee: Catherine Connors, Chair Alain Gowing Stephen Hinds Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Classics © Copyright 2014 Laura Zientek University of Washington Abstract Lucan’s Natural Questions: Landscape and Geography in the Bellum Civile Laura Zientek Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Catherine Connors Department of Classics This dissertation is an analysis of the role of landscape and the natural world in Lucan’s Bellum Civile. I investigate digressions and excurses on mountains, rivers, and certain myths associated aetiologically with the land, and demonstrate how Stoic physics and cosmology – in particular the concepts of cosmic (dis)order, collapse, and conflagration – play a role in the way Lucan writes about the landscape in the context of a civil war poem. Building on previous analyses of the Bellum Civile that provide background on its literary context (Ahl, 1976), on Lucan’s poetic technique (Masters, 1992), and on landscape in Roman literature (Spencer, 2010), I approach Lucan’s depiction of the natural world by focusing on the mutual effect of humanity and landscape on each other. Thus, hardships posed by the land against characters like Caesar and Cato, gloomy and threatening atmospheres, and dangerous or unusual weather phenomena all have places in my study. I also explore how Lucan’s landscapes engage with the tropes of the locus amoenus or horridus (Schiesaro, 2006) and elements of the sublime (Day, 2013).
