But first she is Diana, Princess of the Amazons. —HypableShe will become one of the worlds greatest heroes: WONDER WOMAN. —The New York Times Book ReviewWarning: This novel about the young super hero crossing paths with a seemingly ordinary—but seriously powerful—girl may result in multiple fist pumps. If they have any hope of saving both their worlds, they will have to stand side by side against the tide of war.Feminism is the invisible jet powering this literary revamp of the Amazon princess. Maas• Superman: Dawnbreaker by Matt de la Peña Even worse, Alia Keralis is no ordinary girl and with this single brave act, Diana may have doomed the world.Alia just wanted to escape her overprotective brother with a semester at sea. —SeventeenDont miss the rest of the DC Icons series! .Diana longs to prove herself to her legendary warrior sisters. But when the opportunity finally comes, she throws away her chance at glory and breaks Amazon law—risking exile—to save a mere mortal. She doesnt know she is being hunted. The highly anticipated DC Icons story of the worlds greatest super hero: WONDER WOMAN by the # 1 New York Times bestselling author LEIGH BARDUGO.AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERYou’ll enjoy this book whether you’re a fan of Wonder Woman comics, the Wonder Woman movie, Leigh Bardugo, or just YA lit in general. And her fight is just beginning. When a bomb detonates aboard her ship, Alia is rescued by a mysterious girl of extraordinary strength and forced to confront a horrible truth: Alia is a Warbringer—a direct descendant of the infamous Helen of Troy, fated to bring about an age of bloodshed and misery.Together, Diana and Alia will face an army of enemies—mortal and divine—determined to either destroy or possess the Warbringer. I disliked Jason from the beginning, and Dianas attraction to him seemed like an excuse for deepening the tension between them, or to somehow put a more positive spin on said tension. As for Diana and Jasons... More in the liked it sense than loved it, but Id still recommend it to readers who are looking for action, butt-kicking heroines, science-minded teens, and diverse characters (in terms of racial / ethnic background and sexuality) in their YA reads. More like a 3.5 stars out of 5 on this one...If I had to pick one word to describe Leigh Bardugos WONDER WOMAN: WARBRINGER, it would be fun. Yes. This one in particular focuses so heavily on action that it doesnt give the characters a lot of room to breathe.So is WONDER WOMAN: WARBRINGER my favorite Leigh Bardugo novel? and while I love watching superhero movies, Im not sure that reading their stories is my thing. No. Plus, WONDER WOMAN: WARBRINGER was my first superhero novel... Its bursting with action, playful banter, laugh-out-loud humor, and a diverse cast of smart and talented characters. Also, Dianas observations and reactions to New York City and modern-day life in general were delightfully amusing, and I appreciated the insights that Bardugo offered into Themyscira and the Amazons (some of which were familiar to me, and others brand new).The romances, though... Diana is the obvious highlight; shes courageous, fiercely loyal, and equally passionate and compassionate, much like Gal Gadots portrayal of Wonder Woman in the 2017 film. Her dedication to protecting Alia, a biracial girl and self-confessed science nerd (yay for nerdy girls!), and the friendship they forge during their quest shine star-bright all book long. (*sigh*) Was it really necessary? For me, this was WONDER WOMAN: WARBRINGERs biggest stumbling block. Alia and Theos awkward mutual crush was cute but underdeveloped. But did I enjoy it?

  • Cultural Representations of the Moors Murderers and Yorkshire Ripper Cases
    CULTURAL REPRESENTATIONS OF THE MOORS MURDERERS AND YORKSHIRE RIPPER CASES by HENRIETTA PHILLIPA ANNE MALION PHILLIPS A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Modern Languages School of Languages, Cultures, Art History, and Music College of Arts and Law The University of Birmingham October 2016 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged.

Abstract This thesis examines written, audio-visual and musical representations of real-life British serial killers Myra Hindley and Ian Brady (the ‘Moors Murderers’) and Peter Sutcliffe (the ‘Yorkshire Ripper’), from the time of their crimes to the present day, and their proliferation beyond the cases’ immediate historical-legal context. Through the theoretical construct ‘Northientalism’ I interrogate such representations’ replication and engagement of stereotypes and anxieties accruing to the figure of the white working- class ‘Northern’ subject in these cases, within a broader context of pre-existing historical trajectories and generic conventions of Northern and true crime representation. Interrogating changing perceptions of the cultural functions and meanings of murderers in late-capitalist socio-cultural history, I argue that the underlying structure of true crime is the counterbalance between the exceptional and the everyday, in service of which its second crucial structuring technique – the depiction of physical detail – operates.

  • 'Problem of Evil' in the Context of The
    The ‘Problem of Evil’ in the Context of the French Enlightenment: Bayle, Leibniz, Voltaire, de Sade “The very masterpiece of philosophy would be to develop the means Providence employs to arrive at the ends she designs for man, and from this construction to deduce some rules of conduct acquainting this wretched two‐footed individual with the manner wherein he must proceed along life’s thorny way, forewarned of the strange caprices of that fatality they denominate by twenty different titles, and all unavailingly, for it has not yet been scanned nor defined.” ‐Marquis de Sade, Justine, or Good Conduct Well Chastised (1791) “The fact that the world contains neither justice nor meaning threatens our ability both to act in the world and to understand it. The demand that the world be intelligible is a demand of practical and of theoretical reason, the ground of thought that philosophy is called to provide. The question of whether [the problem of evil] is an ethical or metaphysical problem is as unimportant as it is undecidable, for in some moments it’s hard to view as a philosophical problem at all. Stated with the right degree of generality, it is but unhappy description: this is our world. If that isn’t even a question, no wonder philosophy has been unable to give it an answer. Yet for most of its history, philosophy has been moved to try, and its repeated attempts to formulate the problem of evil are as important as its attempts to respond to it.” ‐Susan Neiman, Evil in Modern Thought – An Alternative History of Philosophy (2002) Claudine Lhost (Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy with Honours) This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Murdoch University, Perth, Western Australia in 2012 1 I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution.

  • Nostalgia Games: Replaying the Past M. Gonlin Submitted in Fulfilment Of
    Nostalgia Games: Replaying The Past M. Gonlin Submitted in fulfilment of the degree of Bachelor of Arts (MECO), Honours Department of Media and Communications, University of Sydney October 2017 Abstract This thesis aims to analyse the function of a “nostalgia game” – games that intentionally reference to the past to broaden their appeal. The two games chosen for analysis are Yacht Club Games’ Shovel Knight (2014) and Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (2017). Shovel Knight exemplifies a game purposefully designed as a celebration of classic videogames on the NES form the late 1980s to early 1990s by using retro aesthetics and old game design conventions. Breath of the Wild demonstrates how a game series looks to its roots for innovation – the original Legend of Zelda released in 1986. The analysis will be divided in two sections for each game. The first section looks at the recurrence of game mechanics and references both games make through the concept of “remediation” (Bolter & Grusin, 1999) and how the games use nostalgia. The second section looks at the micro-temporalities of the games and how they reflect the games they are referencing. These micro-temporalities are referred to as “seriality” (Denson & Jahn- Sudmann, 2015). The wider purpose of this thesis is to lay the groundwork for future research into the field of nostalgic videogames. i Acknowledgements I wish to express my most sincere thanks to Dr Christopher Chesher for supervising me during the writing of this thesis and for the many hours spent during consultations. I am also thankful to Dr Fiona Giles and Dr Stephen Owen for the lectures and tutorials which helped me flesh out my ideas.
