OCT 2015 Happenings.Indd Calendar of Events October 2015 NATIONAL ITALIAN AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH Celebrate the many achievements and successes of Italian Americans Every year the U.S. president signs an executive order designating the month of October as National Italian Ameri- can Heritage Month. Coinciding with the festivities surrounding Columbus Day, the proclamation is in recogni- tion of the many achievements, contributions and successes of Americans of Italian descent, as well as Italians in America. They have been essential to this country from its beginning, not only as explorers but also in the arts, literature, government and business. The heritage of Italians in the United States begins at the origins of the country. Important explorers came soon after Christopher Columbus under the flags of different countries. Giovanni Caboto (John Cabot) sailed under the British flag and was the first to explore parts of New England. In 1497, it is thought, he was the first European since the Vikings to touch land in North America (probably Newfoundland). Giovanni da Verrazzano sailed under the French flag and explored the American coastline from North Carolina to New York in 1524. Italians settled in what became the United States and played an important role in its history. Filippo Mazzei, from Tuscany, influenced Thomas Jefferson when he wrote the Declaration of Independence and Mozart’s librettist Lorenzo da Ponte, from Venice, settled in New York and Philadelphia. Although the first Ital- ian immigration came from the North, during the late nineteenth century mass immigration of Italians to the Americas (including the United States) occurred and it came overwhelmingly from the Southern part of the peninsula. The Italian emigration of the period was the greatest movement of populations in the modern era. Famous names of the modern period include Fiorello La Guardia, Mayor of New York City, Mario Cuomo, Governor of New York State; Geraldine Ferraro, first female vice presidential candidate of a major American political party; Joe Di Maggio and Rick Pitino; Frank Capra, Martin Scorsese, Robert De Niro, Quentin Tarantino, Danny De Vito, Francis Ford Coppola and many more! This year, come celebrate Italian American Heritage Month as we screen an award-winning documentary, “My Italian Secret,” detailing the courage of Gino Bartali, the charismatic Italian Cycling Hero who risked his life to save the innocent lives of Jews and other refugees fleeing the Nazis during War War II. Look for screenings at our West Boca, Lantana Road and Gardens Branch Libraries! Kreyol Ayisyen, Celebrate Creophonie Month Did you know that according to the School District of Palm Beach County, there are over 150 different languages and dia- lects spoken by students in this county alone? What a fantastic opportunity for all of us to learn about new cultures and pick up useful phrases from any number of languages! One of the most-spoken languages in Palm Beach County is Haitian Creole. In celebration of Kreyol Ayisyen, we are proud to celebrate Creophonie Month – in honor of the people who speak the language and the growing body of literature influenced by and written in Haitian Creole. Two special programs are offered this month to highlight what is so special about Creole. At the Main Library, a mini-course on Haitian Creole will be taught to give an overview of the language for non-speakers. At the Lantana Road Branch, the entire community is invited to listen as local Haitian authors share their works of art. All Palm Beach County Library System locations will be closed on Mon, Oct 12, for Columbus Day. No materials will be due on that day. Sponsored by the Friends of the Palm Beach County Library System.

    THE COOL JAPAN PROJECT AND THE GLOBALIZATION OF ANIME AND MANGA IN THE UNITED STATES by Joshua Michael Draper Honors Thesis Appalachian State University Submitted to the Department of Cultural, Gender, and Global Studies and The Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts May, 2015 Approved by: Wei Xie, Ph.D., Thesis Director Alexandra Sterling-Hellenbrand, Ph.D., Second Reader Jeanne Dubino, Ph.D., Department Honors Director Leslie Sargent Jones, Ph.D., Director, The Honors College 1 The Cool Japan Project and the Globalization of Anime and Manga in the United States Abstract: This research paper will primarily discuss the impact that Japanese animation and manga have had on American popular culture and the subsequent cult following they developed. It will discuss what distinguishes Japanese animation from Western animation, how Japanese animation initially gained popularity among American audiences, and how it has subsequently impacted American popular culture. This paper will also focus on the subculture of otaku, a group of people known for their devoted following to Japanese animation and comic books. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the relative popularity of Japanese animation and manga amongst American audiences as an example of globalization impacting the United States from another country. Keywords: anime, manga, soft power, Cool Japan, globalization 2 Introduction During the 1980s and 1990s, Japanese animation and comic books began coming overseas to the United States, where it soon gained popularity amongst a sizeable number of young Americans. Recognizing the economic potential of Japanese popular culture, in 2002, Douglas McGray, writing for Foreign Policy, wrote an article titled “Japan’s Gross National Cool”, highlighting Japan’s potential to be a global “soft power”, or a country that promotes itself through its cultural influence rather than by economic and military force.

    FREE DER MOND: THE ART OF NEON GENESIS EVANGELION PDF Yoshiyuki Sadamoto,Yoshiyuki Sadamato | 120 pages | 06 Nov 2014 | Viz Media, Subs. of Shogakukan Inc | 9781421507675 | English | San Francisco, United States DER MOND ( Neon Genesis Evangelion) : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive Subsequent works deviate from this theme to varying degrees, focusing more on romantic interactions between the characters, plotlines not present in the original works, and reimaginings of the Der Mond: The Art of Neon Genesis Evangelion from the original works. The general consensus is that the anime was groundbreaking; it explored religious, psychological, and philosophical themes, while initially appearing to be a standard mecha show. There was some debate over the controversial ending of the television series. Death is a compilation of clips from the TV series, with some new footage added, and Rebirth comprises the first 30 minutes or so of End of Evangelion. The popularity of the show spawned numerous additional media, including video games, radio dramas, audio books, a novel, pachinko machines, and a tetralogy of films titled Rebuild of Evangelion. Neon Genesis Evangelion has become one of the highest-grossing media franchises of all time. Works within the Neon Genesis Evangelion franchise typically have the same setting, characters and theme, but can vary in their portrayal of the storyline with alternate re-tellings of the original anime. Evangelion ' s fictional setting takes place after the Second Impact, a cataclysmic explosion in Antarctica in the yearwhich resulted in the deaths of billions and threw the Earth off its axis. Fifteen years after the Second Impact, a group of mysterious beings referred to as " Angels " begin appearing and pose a worldwide and existential threat to mankind.
