  • Complexity in the Comic and Graphic Novel Medium: Inquiry Through Bestselling Batman Stories
    Complexity in the Comic and Graphic Novel Medium: Inquiry Through Bestselling Batman Stories PAUL A. CRUTCHER DAPTATIONS OF GRAPHIC NOVELS AND COMICS FOR MAJOR MOTION pictures, TV programs, and video games in just the last five Ayears are certainly compelling, and include the X-Men, Wol- verine, Hulk, Punisher, Iron Man, Spiderman, Batman, Superman, Watchmen, 300, 30 Days of Night, Wanted, The Surrogates, Kick-Ass, The Losers, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, and more. Nevertheless, how many of the people consuming those products would visit a comic book shop, understand comics and graphic novels as sophisticated, see them as valid and significant for serious criticism and scholarship, or prefer or appreciate the medium over these film, TV, and game adaptations? Similarly, in what ways is the medium complex according to its ad- vocates, and in what ways do we see that complexity in Batman graphic novels? Recent and seminal work done to validate the comics and graphic novel medium includes Rocco Versaci’s This Book Contains Graphic Language, Scott McCloud’s Understanding Comics, and Douglas Wolk’s Reading Comics. Arguments from these and other scholars and writers suggest that significant graphic novels about the Batman, one of the most popular and iconic characters ever produced—including Frank Miller, Klaus Janson, and Lynn Varley’s Dark Knight Returns, Grant Morrison and Dave McKean’s Arkham Asylum, and Alan Moore and Brian Bolland’s Killing Joke—can provide unique complexity not found in prose-based novels and traditional films.

  • The Simpsons and the Savior Teacher/Deficit Parent in Popular Culture
    PennGSE Perspectives on Urban Education (https://urbanedjournal.gse.upenn.edu) Home > The Simpsons and the Savior Teacher/Deficit Parent in Popular Culture THE SIMPSONS AND THE SAVIOR TEACHER/DEFICIT PARENT IN POPULAR CULTURE Rowan Shafer Simon Fraser University Abstract: The savior teacher/ deficit parent narrative has become a public pedagogy in America, evidenced by the rise of Teach for America, and the threat of extreme neoliberal education reforms by the Trump administration. In this paper, I examine how the popular television show, The Simpsons, upholds and challenges familiar tropes of the savior teacher/ deficit parent narrative. Drawing on Michael Apple’s theory of the enterprising individual as a trait of neoliberal education ideology, I analyze the ways in which the episode “Lisa’s Substitute” strays from predictable narratives through a focus on parent/ child relationship vs. teacher/ student relationship. I conclude that while this episode highlights and satirizes tropes of the savior teacher/ deficit parent narrative, ultimately, the resolution does not challenge assumptions about working class parents as a barrier to their children’s success or the missionary role of teacher saviors. Introduction From Jamie Escalante in Stand and Deliver (Musca, & Menéndez, 1988) to Ms. Johnson in Dangerous Minds (Simpson & Brukheimer, 1995), savior teachers remain familiar figures in popular texts about school. In the context of the neoliberal focus on teachers as a problem in need of reform, “the savior teacher” script remains popular in film and television, positioning this larger than life figure as an outsider coming in and singlehandedly changing students’ lives. This paper focuses on the representation of the savior teacher in Matt Groening’s cartoon television series The Simpsons.

  • Understanding Satire with the Simpsons
    Understanding Satire with The Simpsons A qualitative study on providing information and knowledge through animated television Förstå Satir med The Simpsons En kvalitativ studie om att erbjuda information och kunskap via animerade Tv- program Carl-Filip Florberger & Niklas Lundborg Faculty of Humanities and Social Science Media and Communication: Communication and Global Media Undergraduate thesis: 15 HEC Examiner: Charu Uppal 2014-05-27 Abstrakt Satir är en form av humor som används för att kritisera samhället och förlöjliga de som styr genom ironi, överdrifter och humor. Det som skiljer satir från andra former av social och politisk protest är att den använder sig av just humor för att ändra mänskligt beteende. Med vår studie frågar vi oss om man kan använda satir för att sprida information och kunskap via ett animerat underhållningsprogram som The Simpsons. Vår huvudfrågeställning är: Kan publiken av The Simpsons ta åt sig information och kunskap inom programmets underhållningskontext samt via dess användning av satir? För att få svar på detta har vi också använt oss av sekundära frågor såsom: uppfattar och/eller uppskattar personer som tittar på The Simpsons satir? Är animation en lämplig eller olämplig metod för att ta åt sig information? Huvudsyftet med denna studie är att vi är nyfikna på om man enklare kan ta åt sig information och allvarliga ämnen i kombination med humor och underhållning. Vi har valt The Simpsons som undersökningsobjekt eftersom de var dem som startade en ny genre av animerad satirisk komedi på TV. Denna genre är i dagens TV-samhälle väldigt populär och det har skapats nya satiriska succéprogram som Family Guy och South Park som följd av detta.

  • The Lost Boy
    THE LOST BOY Leda Hayes A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS December 2017 Committee: Becca Cragin, Advisor Jeremy Wallach Esther Clinton Jeffrey Brown © 2017 Leda Hayes All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Becca Cragin, Advisor The following thesis seeks to contribute to contemporary masculinities scholarship by exploring the recent deployment, on and among 20th and 21st century MIC telecommunications, of the myth of the lost boy. It begins with a close look at the origin of the myth of the lost boy, a form first authored as a revision to modernity’s myth of the boy by New Imperialists who sought to justify the long term occupation of colonial territories and protectorates and thus shifted, away from an earlier model of domestic masculinity that pressed forward towards an exhaustive known, rational, and developed; and towards a model of masculinity that was restricted to a Bakhtinian adventure time of serial story, homosocial partnership, and performances of primal boyhood. After a subsequent exploration of the medium and mandates of MIC synergy, that utilizes Marshall McLuhan’s science of medium, this thesis offers that a late 20th and early 21st century community among such Futurama discovers, within the lost boy 2.0 it embraces, a configuration of masculinity that can remasculinize Futurama’s dogma of networked node. While the myth of the lost boy is often popularly proposed to be problematic, detached, and disordered, my research suggests that the myth is instead a restorative configuration that discovers the model of network within Futurama to be inspired by an organic, empowered masculine affection: far from lost, the lost boy of 2017 is the heart of labor, kinship, narrative, and life.
