  • Doctor Strange Comics As Post-Fantasy
    Evolving a Genre: Doctor Strange Comics as Post-Fantasy Jessie L. Rogers Thesis submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in English Karen Swenson, Chair Nancy A. Metz Katrina M. Powell April 15, 2019 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: Fantasy, Comics Studies, Postmodernism, Post-Fantasy Copyright 2019, Jessie L. Rogers Evolving a Genre: Doctor Strange Comics as Post-Fantasy Jessie L. Rogers (ABSTRACT) This thesis demonstrates that Doctor Strange comics incorporate established tropes of the fantastic canon while also incorporating postmodern techniques that modernize the genre. Strange’s debut series, Strange Tales, begins this development of stylistic changes, but it still relies heavily on standard uses of the fantastic. The 2015 series, Doctor Strange, builds on the evolution of the fantastic apparent in its predecessor while evidencing an even stronger presence of the postmodern. Such use of postmodern strategies disrupts the suspension of disbelief on which popular fantasy often relies. To show this disruption and its effects, this thesis examines Strange Tales and Doctor Strange (2015) as they relate to the fantastic cornerstones of Tolkien’s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings and Rowling’s Harry Potter series. It begins by defining the genre of fantasy and the tenets of postmodernism, then it combines these definitions to explain the new genre of postmodern fantasy, or post-fantasy, which Doctor Strange comics develop. To show how these comics evolve the fantasy genre through applications of postmodernism, this thesis examines their use of otherworldliness and supernaturalism, as well as their characterization and narrative strategies, examining how these facets subvert our expectations of fantasy texts.

Continuity in Color: The Persistence of Symbolic Meaning in Myths, Tales, and Tropes An Honors Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for Honors in the Department of Literature and Philosophy. By McKinley May Under the mentorship of Joe Pellegrino ABSTRACT This paper examines the symbolism of the colors black, white, and red from ancient times to modern. It explores ancient myths, the Grimm canon of fairy tales, and modern film and television tropes in order to establish the continuity of certain symbolisms through time. In regards to the fairy tales, the examination focuses solely on the lesser-known stories, due to the large amounts of scholarship surrounding the “popular” tales. The continuity of interpretation of these three major colors (black, white, and red) establishes the link between the past and the present and demonstrates the influence of older myths and beliefs on modern understandings of the colors.

  • Independent Mad-Scientist Secret Society Mockumentaries for Ages 11 to 12
    8/15/2019 How Netflix Reverse-Engineered Hollywood - The Atlantic TECHNOLOGY How Netflix Reverse-Engineered Hollywood To understand how people look for movies, the video service created 76,897 micro-genres. We took the genre descriptions, broke them down to their key words … and built our own new-genre generator. ALEXIS C. MADRIGAL JAN 2, 2014 The Atlantic's Netflix-Genre Generator Independent Mad-Scientist Secret Society Mockumentaries For Ages 11 to 12 CREATE A GENRE: Gonzo (ultraniche genres) Hollywood (film-making cliches) Netflix (mimicking their style) If you use Netflix, you've probably wondered about the specific genres that it suggests to you. Some of them just seem so specific that it's absurd. Emotional Fight-the-System Documentaries? Period Pieces About Royalty Based on Real Life? Foreign Satanic Stories from the 1980s? If Netflix can show such tiny slices of cinema to any given user, and they have 40 million users, how vast did their set of "personalized genres" need to be to describe the entire Hollywood universe? This idle wonder turned to rabid fascination when I realized that I could capture each and every microgenre that Netflix's algorithm has ever created. Through a combination of elbow grease and spam-level repetition, we discovered that Netflix possesses not several hundred genres, or even several thousand, but 76,897 unique ways to describe types of movies. There are so many that just loading, copying, and pasting all of them took the little script I wrote more than 20 hours. We've now spent several weeks understanding, analyzing, and reverse-engineering how Netflix's vocabulary and grammar work.

  • Raymond Burr Vineyards ~ 8339 W
    ~ RAYMOND BURR VINEYARDS ~ 8339 W. Dry Creek Road Healdsburg ~ California Located in the Dry Creek Valley AVA 5850 Anderson Rd, Forestville, CA 95436 www.bergmanvineyards.com PH: (707) 887-9822; FX: (866) 691-5251 Page 1 of 7 RAYMOND BURR VINEYARDS A Historical Perspective It was in the middle 1950’s on the widely acclaimed and successful television program “Perry Mason” that the two actors, Raymond Burr and Robert Benevides first met. Their friendship grew and advanced as their mutual interest in the knowledge of the cultivation and hybridization of orchids developed. Their mutual hobby began to grow in importance to them and the next logical step was to make it into a commercial venture. At the same time, Benevides had become Executive in Charge of Production for Mr. Burr’s very successful and long (8 years) running television series, “Ironside”. The two men purchased an island in Fiji where they raised coconuts and cattle and helped bring up the standard of living for the Fijian people who lived on the island. In 1976, Robert Benevides’ father, attracted by the beauty of the Dry Creek Valley and the special qualities of land with its productive soils, purchased portions of the existing Raymond Burr Vineyard Estate. Years later, Robert and Raymond planted vines on their lovely estate in 1986. Their first wines were made in 1990 under the direction of John Pedroncelli, who together with his brother, Jim, owned the Pedroncelli Winery off Canyon Road. The Raymond Burr label started in 1998. A reasonable price was set for the Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay wines, and over the years, prices for their Estate wines have remained the same as the original releases.

His researches seem to them a waste of time and energy. Interest in ancestors, love of family and kindred, those subtle questions of race, origin, even of life itself, which they involve, are quite beyond their com prehension. They live only in the present, care nothing for the past and little for the future; for " he who cares not whence he cometh, cares not whither he goeth." When such persons are approached with questions of ancestry, they retire to their stronghold of apathy; and the querist learns, without diffi culty, that whether their ancestors were vile or illustrious, virtuous or vicious, or whether, indeed, they ever had any, is to them a matter of supreme indifference.

  • Cowboys, Postmodern Heroes, and Anti-Heroes: the Many Faces
    COWBOYS, POSTMODERN HEROES, AND ANTI-HEROES: THE MANY FACES OF THE ALTERIZED WHITE MAN Hyon Joo Yoo Murphree, B.A. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2000 APPROVED: Diane Negra, Major Professor Olaf Hoerschelmann, Committee Member Diana York Blaine, Committee Member C. Melinda Levin, Graduate Coordinator of the Department of Radio, TV and Film Steve Craig, Chair of the Department of Radio, TV and Film C. Neal Tate, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Murphree, Hyon Joo Yoo, Cowboys, Postmodern Heroes, and Anti-heroes: The Many Faces of the Alterized White Man. Master of Arts (Radio, Television and Film), August 2000, 131 pp., references, 48 titles. This thesis investigates how hegemonic white masculinity adopts a new mode of material accumulation by entering into an ambivalent existence as a historical agent and metahistory at the same time and continues to function as a performative identity that offers a point of identification for the working class white man suggesting that bourgeois identity is obtainable through the performance of bourgeois ethics. The thesis postulates that the phenomenal transitions brought on by industrialization and deindustrialization of 50’s through 90’s coincide with the representational changes of white masculinity from paradigmatic cowboy incarnations to the postmodern action heroes, specifically as embodied by Bruce Willis. The thesis also examines how postmodern heroes’ “intero-alterity” is further problematized by antiheroes in Tim Burton’s films.

  • The Joker: a Psychoanalytic Review
    The Joker: A Psychoanalytic Review Bennett Roth Ph.D. By focusing on the “villain” the controversial film of the Joker is a radical departure from the usual super-hero genre. Its reception was mixed winning an Oscar for its leading actor and receiving a mixed or negative press. Unlike many other films derived from comic books this film maintains its comic book style and logic. Comic book style and characters have influenced other entertainment media from “The Hulk” to Road Runner. Comic books have a unique history. The Glasgow Looking Glass, first published in 1825, is believed to be the first mass-produced “comic strip” focusing on current news and affairs in Glasgow, Scotland. A century later the term “superhero” was first used in 1917 in the “Golden Age of Comic Books” during the 1930s. It is acknowledged that the current Modern Age of comics occurred following the lifting of censorship, allowing comparatively darker and more complex characters to emerge with an increase in the popularity of comics and the commercialization of the industry. Along with the new popularity there has been a rush into moviemaking following the success of these simple action movies with moral lessons within them. It is possible that larger than life male superheroes are integral to American society and the development of boys. Change in many superhero comics since 1938 reflect contemporary crises also assisting in the popularity and renown of comics, superheroes and their translation into movies. World War II prompted Marvel’s to include Hitler and Japanese soldiers, atomic energy, and with the coming of The War on Terror following September 11, Captain America faced current issues of government surveillance or US foreign policy.

Douglas, B.A., M.Div., M.A. A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University, in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Milwaukee, Wisconsin May, 2011 ABSTRACT QOHELETH: AN ANTI-APOCALYPTIC GENRE FOR A MESSAGE OF JOY Jerome N. Douglas, B.A., M.Div., M.A. Marquette University, 2011 How is the interpreter to approach Ecclesiastes? What is the message of the author? What is the genre of the book? Many scholars have posited varying interpretations concerning the message of Ecclesiastes and have observed the number of statements that appear to be conflicting or, at least, in tension with one another. Discussions about the argument and genre label(s) of/ or in Ecclesiastes have not fully considered the author’s polemics against the apocalyptic beliefs of his day, 200 B.C.E. This dissertation will propose that the author of Ecclesiastes utilizes a hybrid genre in his work. He, in part, employs an “anti-apocalyptic genre” in Ecclesiastes, and the presence of this genre serves to further the author’s message of joy.
