  • The University of Liverpool Racism, Tolerance and Identity: Responses
    The University of Liverpool Racism, Tolerance and Identity: Responses to Black and Asian Migration into Britain in the National and Local Press, 1948-72 Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of The University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Matthew Young September 2012 Abstract. This thesis explores the response of national and local newspapers to issues of race and black and Asian immigration in Britain between 1948 and 1972. Scholars have highlighted the importance of concepts of race, identity and belonging in shaping responses to immigration, but have not yet explained the complex ways in which these ideas are disseminated and interpreted in popular culture. The thesis analyses the complex role newspapers had in mediating debates surrounding black and Asian immigration for public consumption. By engaging with concepts of race and tolerance, newspapers communicated anxieties about the shape British culture and society would take in the postwar years. Their popularity granted them opportunities to lead attitudes towards black and Asian people and multiculturalism. The influences of social, political and cultural developments on both the national and local level meant newspapers often adopted limited definitions tolerance which failed to combat racism. In other cases, newspapers actively encouraged racist definitions of belonging which privileged their largely white audiences. In order to understand newspapers‘ engagement with concepts of race and identity, this thesis analyses the various influences that informed their coverage. While the opinions and ambitions of prominent journalists had a significant impact on newspaper policy, the thesis highlights the language and genres newspapers used to appeal to large audiences.

  • It's a Bird! It's a Plane! It's… a Girl?!: Analyzing Representations of Femininity on the CW's Supergirl by Dylan Frei
    It’s a Bird! It’s a Plane! It’s… a Girl?!: Analyzing Representations of Femininity on The CW’s Supergirl by Dylan Freitag A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Communication Carleton University, Ottawa Ontario ©2020 Dylan Freitag Abstract Although it takes more than diverse media representation to create positive social change, representation is still an important part of normalizing identities and pushing discussions of social issues. However, representations of certain minority groups, whether on the basis of racial, ethnic, sexual, or gender identities, are often largely absent in media, and flawed when they do exist. This is true of comic books and the various forms of media that have adapted superhero stories. For instance, superhero tales have long been dominated by depictions of superheroes who are heterosexual cisgender men. Because of this trend spanning from the 1930s into the 21st century, superhero stories have developed a reputation of being a boy’s club rife with sexism. Certainly, this issue persists to this day, but this thesis provides a snapshot of how women are fairing in superhero media in the mid-to-late 2010s. By focusing specifically on the case study of the CW’s Supergirl, I discuss how representations of superwomen have improved greatly compared to popular expectations and no longer entirely reflect a singular and problematic ideal of what being a woman means. In particular, my examination is centered around three of Supergirl’s main women: protagonist Kara Danvers/Supergirl, Kara’s sister and super spy Alex Danvers, and the heroic Nia Nal/Dreamer.

  • With This Ring Jumpchain
    With This Ring Jumpchain Version 1.2 By Disposable_Face DC’s Earth 16 is a world where villains have learned that open villainy is not sufficient to achieve their goals, where the major names in crime – Luthor, Savage, the Brain, and others of similar temperament and caliber – have subtly joined forces and formed the Light, a council of villains dedicated to advancing their own interests and end their worlds dependency on heroes like the Justice League, some hope to do this by advancing technology, others by taking over the world, but for now they hide their goals and resources as they gather their power. DC’s Earth 16 is a world where young heroes struggle to step out of their mentor’s shadows. Where young men and women work to define themselves independently of their parentage or their teachers, while facing the worst of what the universe has to offer, threats both subtle and gross, terrestrial and xeno, old and new. When their mentors cannot adapt to the new tactics of villains, or when the drama inherent to teenage life is complicated by the mess of super-hero life, Young Justice must rise to the occasion and save the world. This … is not that world. … Oh, the world of “With This Ring” certainly resembles the world of Young Justice/Earth 16, ​ ​ though it includes a much broader swath of general DC characters and storylines, but there are ever-growing differences stemming, largely, from a single event. th On the 4 ​ of July, 2010, a man awakens in orbit over an Earth that is not his own, with nothing ​ but his pajamas and an Orange Power Ring (not even possessing an Orange Lantern), and while ​ ​ ​ ​ Paul recognizes the broad strokes of DC, he has no memory of this specific universe and the nuances of its plot.

  • O DISCURSO DE ÓDIO REPRESENTADO NA SÉRIE SUPERGIRL Júlia Cavalcanti Versiani Dos
    HERÓIS SEM CAPA, VILÕES SEM MÁSCARA: O DISCURSO DE ÓDIO REPRESENTADO NA SÉRIE SUPERGIRL Júlia Cavalcanti Versiani dos Anjos1 RESUMO A série de televisão Supergirl apresentou uma inovação em sua quarta temporada: o grande vilão que a heroína precisou enfrentar não foi um empresário do mal ou um extraterrestre com superpoderes, mas o ódio. A narrativa, portanto, pode ser percebida como um enunciado historicamente situado, que expõe receios contemporâneos. Com base nessa premissa, este artigo tem o objetivo de analisar como a produção trata a questão do discurso de ódio, por meio de uma análise do discurso de inspiração foucaultiana, que compreende enunciados como raridades. O exame do conteúdo foi associado a contribuições teóricas sobre o ódio e seu uso político, de modo a discutir se a série foi pautada por uma visão do senso comum sobre a questão, ou se conseguiu propor uma reflexão crítica sobre este tema. A investigação demonstrou que a narrativa forneceu uma representação crítica acerca da mobilização do ódio, na medida em que colabora para que o fenômeno seja entendido como um problema social e não meramente individual. No que tange a representação do grupo de difusores de ódio e, também, o tema do modo adequado de reação a estes ataques, contudo, a produção acabou por reforçar alguns estereótipos, como o apagamento da participação ativa feminina em grupos de ódio e a necessidade de que movimentos contra essa emoção se apresentem de maneira homogênea. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Ódio; Séries de Televisão; Cultura Pop; Gênero. HEROES WITHOUT CAPES, VILLAINS WITHOUT MASKS: HATE SPEECH REPRESENTED IN THE TV SERIES SUPERGIRL ABSTRACT The TV series Supergirl brought an innovation in its fourth season: the great villain that the heroine had to face was not an evil businessman or an ET with super powers, but the hatred.

  • "Tonight on Fast Copy: Our Worlds at War"
    "Tonight on Fast Copy: Our Worlds At War" Hello, I'm Wang Chungtonite, and welcome to Fast Copy. Tonight: a report on recent developments in the war between Imperiex and the rest of creation. Only two days ago the Earth was badly shaken by the commencement of an attack from an unknown alien force which sent down probes into various locations around the globe, corresponding more or less with the geographical centers of the seven continents. One of the probes was slightly off, and instead of landing somewhere in the middle of North Dakota, it landed instead in Topeka Kansas. We now go live to our on-the-scene correspondent, Hung Impressively. Hung? "Thanks, Wang. I'm here in what's left of Topeka Kansas with Rich Fielder of the National Guard. Rich, what's the story?" "Well, Hung, it's bad out here, as you can tell. We're still trying to clean things up and figure out what happened. Superman was here, trying to help us out. He wound up battling a huge robot looking thing, and he seemed pretty torqued about it. He did finally destroy the thing, but it blew up, making this huge crater that we're standing next to. Then Supergirl showed up and kind of helped us look for survivors. There weren't many. Superman flew off, towards Smallville it looked like. Said he had to check on some folks out there. Next thing I knew, there was this terrible noise, sounded like a million air raid sirens going off at once. Bobby over there said it was Superman, screaming about something, but my ears were too busy ringing to be sure." "Thanks Rich.
