  • Beyoncé, the African Diaspora, and the Baptism of 'Black Is King'
    NBA PLAYOFF ODDS NFL MLB FANTASY MORE MOVIES MUSIC POP CULTURE Glory B: Beyoncé, the African Diaspora, and the Baptism of ‘Black Is King’ On her new Disney+ visual album, Beyoncé reinforces the ancestral lineage of Black people as divine beings, connecting the experience of a Black woman from the South to shores of Africa By Taylor Crumpton Aug 4, 2020, 6:30am EDT SHARE Parkwood Entertainment/Ringer illustration On July 31 at midnight, time stood still. Only Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter’s creation of a Black planet could make the world forget about a global pandemic. For a moment, she lifted the veil of white supremacist thought that has dehumanized the African Diaspora. Black Is King, her new visual album released on Disney+ on Friday, reinforces the ancestral lineage of Black people as divine beings, born from the natural and spiritual forces of the universe. In the film, Beyoncé plays an omnipresent spirit who prepares the Black body to be born anew through the beliefs and practices of our ancestors who knew that to be Black was to be holy. “Let Black be synonymous with glory,” she says in a voiceover early in the film. Efi Chalikopoulou The Top 100 Beyoncé Songs, Ranked Beyoncé’s evolution from entertainer to pop icon truly began with her 2013 visual album Beyoncé, a public baptism into heritage and identity that humanized the most powerful woman in the music industry and documented her reclamation of a feminist personality. Her ideological foundation was further developed by womanist philosophies about lineage and reconciliation with her ancestors in Lemonade, her 2016 album that explored marital fidelity and forgiveness in the Black South, the birthplace of Black America.

  • Niche Into Mainstream: How 90S Anime in the West Was Changed By
    Niche into Mainstream 1 Niche into Mainstream: How 90’s Anime was changed by Agenda-Setting Theory Malik Watson Agnes Scott College Niche into Mainstream 2 Abstract Media transforms minor topics into mainstream, and their perception changes over time. I’m going to examine American people’s perception towards anime and define the significance of the medium and how far it has come in America. I’m going to pay particular attention to Sailor Moon. Sailor Moon is a manga created by Naoko Takeuchi with the premise of an ordinary junior high student destined to fight evil. It was popular enough in Japan to warrant an anime series which spread to other western countries especially America. This case will show how the media affects two ways: on itself (anime) and people (fans). Niche into Mainstream 3 Part 1 “What is Anime?” Chances are, they watched anime before but didn’t realize it. The medium has a historical and cultural significance in the United States, which influences animation and has become a profitable industry in the country. Many Americans have tried to control it, yet this genre of art is too big to be handled and it’s still growing. Before I get too far, I need to explain anime’s meaning. Anime is Japanese for animation. To be clear, anime is the shortened form for animation. In Japan, Animation (anime-shon) is represented in katakana, a set of writing characters in the Japanese language, as アニメーション . The -tion (-shon ーション) suffix is removed leaving the prefix Anime (アニメ). In the country, the term is utilized to refer to all forms of animation.

  • Hollywoodrituals I Am Glad I Am Not Famous Hollywood Transgender
    The Truth About the Entertainment Industry - #HollywoodRituals Aug. 27, 2020 Syndicated Columnist www.CathyHarrisInternational.com As a Syndicated Columnist and Investigative Reporter, I loved writing and researching at an early age. My current topic that I have been working on for two months – #HollywoodTrangenderAgenda, has to be the hardest topic that I ever reported on. Others reporting on the topic seem to have a lot of hatred and disrespect while trying to educate others. That is definitely not what I want to attract in my life so I have ended my research on this topic with this post. I have tried my best to be as sensitive as possible when reporting on this topic and I do apologize up-front if I have offended anyone. I Am Glad I Am Not Famous I came close to being famous when I blew the whistle on my job (www.TheCathyHarrisStory.com) and appeared on Oprah’s Oxygen Channel. During this time, I was contacted by Queen Latifah people’s twice to try to get me on her show to tell about the humiliation of black women who travel in and out of this country. I am so glad my life steered me in another direction and kept me on track. Again, in order to be RICH and FAMOUS, Hollywood (aka “The Entertainment Industry”) forces you to live with the same sex person or become inverted by changing your sex, raise inverted kids (raise girls as boys and boys as girls), and now they are attempting to legalize pedophilia and this is indeed a #HollywoodRitual.

  • 1 the Cool Japan Project and the Globalization of Anime
    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.
