Salisbury to The Faculty of the Graduate College of The University of Vermont In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Master of Arts Specializing in History May, 2013 Accepted by the Faculty of the Graduate College, The University of Vermont, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts, specializing in History. Thesis Examination Committee: ______________________________________ Advisor Abigail McGowan, Ph.D ______________________________________ Melanie Gustafson, Ph.D ______________________________________ Chairperson Elizabeth Fenton, Ph.D ______________________________________ Dean, Graduate College Domenico Grasso, Ph.D March 22, 2013 Abstract At just under thirty years the serious academic study of American comic books is relatively young. Over the course of three decades most historians familiar with the medium have recognized that American comics, since becoming a mass-cultural product in 1939, have matured beyond their humble beginnings as a monthly publication for children. However, historians are not yet in agreement as to when the medium became mature. This thesis proposes that the medium’s maturity was cemented between 1985 and 2000, a much later point in time than existing texts postulate. The project involves the analysis of how an American mass medium, in this case the comic book, matured in the last two decades of the twentieth century. The goal is to show the interconnected relationships and factors that facilitated the maturation of the American sequential art, specifically a focus on a group of British writers working at DC Comics and Vertigo, an alternative imprint under the financial control of DC.

  • Thoughts out of Season on the History of Animal Ethics
    Society and Animals 15 (2007) 365-378 www.brill.nl/soan Th oughts out of Season on the History of Animal Ethics Rod Preece Professor Emeritus, Wilfrid Laurier University 1203-655 Windermere Road London, ON, Canada, N5X 2W8 E-mail: [email protected] Sent: 7 June 2007, Accepted: 6 July 2007 Abstract Contrary to conventional wisdom, the earlier Western tradition did not customarily deny souls per se to nonhuman animals; when it denied immortal souls to animals, it sometimes deemed that denial a reason for giving greater consideration to animals in their earthly existence. Nor has the Western tradition uniformly deemed animals intended for human use. Further, there was considerable opposition to the Cartesian view of animals as insentient machines, and—even among those who were convinced—it was not unknown for them to deem it inappropriate to rely on that conviction in the treatment of animals. Moreover, Darwin’s (1874) theory of evolu- tion had neither a novel nor a positive impact on the way in which animals were to be regarded and treated. Th e study of the history of animal ethics needs to be rethought in a far more nuanced manner. Keywords animal souls, animal immortality, animals for human use, sentience, Cartesianism, Charles Dar- win, evolution, vivisection Introduction In the study of the history of nonhuman animal ethics, certain conclusions have been reached that have become axioms for succeeding studies and have become ingrained in general intellectual understanding. Th e reality is that these conventional wisdoms are either exaggerations, distortions, or simply false. A close examination of historical attitudes to nonhuman animals reveals a decid- edly nuanced ethic, though one would scarcely imagine it from a reading of the majority of relevant literature pertaining to the status of animals in historical perspective.
