  • “Why So Serious?” Comics, Film and Politics, Or the Comic Book Film As the Answer to the Question of Identity and Narrative in a Post-9/11 World
    ABSTRACT “WHY SO SERIOUS?” COMICS, FILM AND POLITICS, OR THE COMIC BOOK FILM AS THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION OF IDENTITY AND NARRATIVE IN A POST-9/11 WORLD by Kyle Andrew Moody This thesis analyzes a trend in a subgenre of motion pictures that are designed to not only entertain, but also provide a message for the modern world after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The analysis provides a critical look at three different films as artifacts of post-9/11 culture, showing how the integration of certain elements made them allegorical works regarding the status of the United States in the aftermath of the attacks. Jean Baudrillard‟s postmodern theory of simulation and simulacra was utilized to provide a context for the films that tap into themes reflecting post-9/11 reality. The results were analyzed by critically examining the source material, with a cultural criticism emerging regarding the progression of this subgenre of motion pictures as meaningful work. “WHY SO SERIOUS?” COMICS, FILM AND POLITICS, OR THE COMIC BOOK FILM AS THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION OF IDENTITY AND NARRATIVE IN A POST-9/11 WORLD A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Miami University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Communications Mass Communications Area by Kyle Andrew Moody Miami University Oxford, Ohio 2009 Advisor ___________________ Dr. Bruce Drushel Reader ___________________ Dr. Ronald Scott Reader ___________________ Dr. David Sholle TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ..........................................................................................................................

    ‘Yes, But What Have You Done for Me Lately?’: Intersections of Intellectual Property, Work-for-Hire, and The Struggle of the Creative Precariat in the American Comic Book Industry © 2019 By Ora Charles McWilliams Submitted to the graduate degree program in American Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Co-Chair: Ben Chappell Co-Chair: Elizabeth Esch Henry Bial Germaine Halegoua Joo Ok Kim Date Defended: 10 May, 2019 ii The dissertation committee for Ora Charles McWilliams certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: ‘Yes, But What Have You Done for Me Lately?’: Intersections of Intellectual Property, Work-for-Hire, and The Struggle of the Creative Precariat in the American Comic Book Industry Co-Chair: Ben Chappell Co-Chair: Elizabeth Esch Date Approved: 24 May 2019 iii Abstract The comic book industry has significant challenges with intellectual property rights. Comic books have rarely been treated as a serious art form or cultural phenomenon. It used to be that creating a comic book would be considered shameful or something done only as side work. Beginning in the 1990s, some comic creators were able to leverage enough cultural capital to influence more media. In the post-9/11 world, generic elements of superheroes began to resonate with audiences; superheroes fight against injustices and are able to confront the evils in today’s America. This has created a billion dollar, Oscar-award-winning industry of superhero movies, as well as allowed created comic book careers for artists and writers.

  • Moral Indulgences: When Offsetting Is Wrong 69
    OUP CORRECTED PROOF – FINAL, 06/08/19, SPi 5 Moral Indulgences When Offsetting is Wrong Rebecca Chan and Dustin Crummett 0. Introduction Suppose that it would be wrong for Scott to eat meat, absent a successful defeater. (Roughly, a successful defeater is a factor that nullifies or overrides the considerations that normally make the act wrong.1) Scott realizes this. But Scott also realizes that there are many very effective, underfunded, animal welfare charities. For instance, Animal Charity Evaluators (2017) estimates that one of their top-rated charities, the Humane League, may do the equivalent of saving as many as 180,000 animals from being factory farmed for every thousand dollars it receives through advocacy work. Scott realizes that even if this estimate is off by a few orders of magnitude,2 he could easily do more good by making fairly small donations to such char- ities than he does harm by eating meat. (This is especially true if he limits himself to eating beef: since cows are very large and produce a lot of meat, eating beef contributes to far fewer animal deaths than, say, eating chicken or shrimp.) And he prefers making such donations to giving up meat altogether. So he does that.3 1 This is McMahan’s (2001, 236) gloss on moral defeaters. See also footnote 7. 2 A critical discussion of Animal Charity Evaluators’ methodology can be found at https:// medium.com/@harrisonnathan/the-problems-with-animal-charity-evaluators-in-brief- cd56b8cb5908. 3 Scott is named after Scott Alexander, author of the blog Slate Star Codex, who (inspired by another blogger, Katja Grace) once advocated a course of action similar to the one Scott takes.

  • Savage Dragon: Warfare Pdf, Epub, Ebook
    SAVAGE DRAGON: WARFARE PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Erik Larsen | 128 pages | 20 Jun 2017 | Image Comics | 9781534303638 | English | Fullerton, United States Savage Dragon: Warfare PDF Book Though he had only been semi-active before, the Dragon officially resigns from the S. Following this, the Dragon fights a Dr. In these appearances, the character of the Dragon remained basically the same as it had been in Graphic Fantasy , with a few details modified such as the inclusion of his wife, who was dead in his previous incarnation. The Fiend can possess living bodies, and his powers are fueled by the capacity for hate of those possessed. Richard Richards' office building. Read a little about our history. Thankfully, his healing factor would mend him back together, and eventually, he would take down the original Overlord in a particularly violent way as revenge. The collection featured stories by the four remaining Image founders Erik Larsen, Todd McFarlane , Marc Silvestri , and Jim Valentino returning to the characters they first created for the company. Initially debuting in a three-issue miniseries, the Savage Dragon comic book met with enough success to justify a monthly series, launched in After a number of serious incidents, including the murder of the superhero Mighty Man and the brutal mauling of SuperPatriot , Darling takes drastic action. As Erik Larsen is occasionally wont to do, Savage Dragon speeds things up—not in the breakneck, action-orgy kind of way that we saw last month, but in order to bring the story up-to-date, since it unfolds in real time and in a real-ish facsimile of the world.
