    Make America America Again

    # 2020/26 dschungel https://jungle.world/artikel/2020/26/make-america-america-again Spike Lees »Da 5 Bloods« über schwarze Veteranen des Vietnamkriegs Make America America Again Von Daniel Moersener Spike Lees »Da 5 Bloods« zeigt, dass Afroamerikaner nicht den Vietnamkrieg brauchten, um traumatisiert zu werden. Wenn es eine Sache an Spike Lees Vietnamkriegsfilm »Da 5 Bloods« zu bemängeln gibt, dann einzig und allein, dass ihm als Produktion von Netflix der Start im Kino versagt bleibt. Das ist freilich nicht Spike Lee selbst anzulasten, sondern der derzeitigen Mutlosigkeit Hollywoods. Diese Mutlosigkeit ist es, die nun auch Lee, wie zuvor schon Martin Scorsese, in die Arme der Streaming-Anbieter treibt. Der Kinosaal und »Da 5 Bloods«, sie hätten ­einander redlich verdient. Denn Spike Lee präsentiert sich in Bestform und springt virtuos zwischen dem Vietnam der späten Sechziger und der Gegenwart und verwebt Archivaufnahmen, digitale Aufnahmetechnik, Fotografien, Super- 8-Aufnahmen und 16mm-Film miteinander. Anstatt – apropos Scorsese – die Hauptdarsteller für Rückblenden digital verjüngen zu lassen, setzt Spike Lee sie unverändert sowohl in den Gegenwartsszenen wie auch in denen der Vergangenheit ein. Das klingt zwar gewagt, geht aber gerade deshalb als ästhetische Strategie voll auf. Die Vereinigten Staaten, so wird im Film gesagt, führten seit ihrer Gründung einen Krieg gegen sich selbst, und dieser Krieg scheine bis heute anzudauern. Drei Minuten, länger braucht Spike Lee nicht, um in der rasant montierten Eröffnungssequenz von »Da 5 Bloods« ein Panorama der Vietnamkriegsära in den USA zu entwerfen. Interviewfetzen und Statements von Muhammad Ali, Bobby Seale, Angela Davis und Malcolm X werden mit Ansprachen Lyndon B.

    Vigilantes, Incorporated: an Ideological Economy of the Superhero Blockbuster

    VIGILANTES, INCORPORATED: AN IDEOLOGICAL ECONOMY OF THE SUPERHERO BLOCKBUSTER BY EZRA CLAVERIE DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English with a minor in Cinema Studies in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2016 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor José B. Capino, Chair Associate Professor Jim Hansen Associate Professor Lilya Kaganovsky Associate Professor Robert A. Rushing Professor Frank Grady,Department of English, University of Missouri, Saint Louis ii ABSTRACT Since 2000, the comic-book superhero blockbuster has become Hollywood’s most salient genre. “Heroes, Incorporated: A Political Economy of the Superhero Blockbuster” examines these seemingly reactionary fantasies of American power, analyzing their role in transmedia storytelling for a conglomerated and world-spanning entertainment industry. This dissertation argues that for all their apparent investment in the status quo and the hegemony of white men, superhero blockbusters actually reveal the disruptive and inhuman logic of capital, which drives both technological and cultural change. Although focused on the superhero film from 2000 to 2015, this project also considers the print and electronic media across which conglomerates extend their franchises. It thereby contributes to the materialist study of popular culture and transmedia adaptation, showing how 21st century Hollywood adapts old media for new platforms, technologies, and audiences. The first chapter traces the ideology of these films to their commercial roots, arguing that screen superheroes function as allegories of intellectual property. The hero’s “brand” identity signifies stability, even as the character’s corporate owners continually revise him (rarely her).
