FLEUR MORELL Makeup Dept. Head/ Makeup Artist IATSE local #798 Fleur Morell grew up in Los Angeles surrounded by the film industry. At a young age, she discovered a natural talent for Makeup. She was fortunate to connect with a wonderful Make-up artist by the name of Lona Jeffers, who took her under her wing. Lona taught Fleur make-up application, continuity, proper on set protocol and so much more. Fleur will always be grateful and continue to share with others as this developed a strong belief in teamwork. Collaborating with all the departments is very important to Fleur. One of the most rewarding aspects of her job is having a good working relationship with the actors and helping them feel completely comfortable. Fleur’s lighthearted creative style is well received and she enjoys seeing the story come to life. Fleur is based in Atlanta and lives a very adventurous and active lifestyle.

    Media Industry Approaches to Comic-To-Live-Action Adaptations and Race

    From Serials to Blockbusters: Media Industry Approaches to Comic-to-Live-Action Adaptations and Race by Kathryn M. Frank A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Communication) in the University of Michigan 2015 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Amanda D. Lotz, Chair Professor Susan J. Douglas Professor Lisa A. Nakamura Associate Professor Aswin Punathambekar © Kathryn M. Frank 2015 “I don't remember when exactly I read my first comic book, but I do remember exactly how liberated and subversive I felt as a result.” ― Edward W. Said, Palestine For Mom and Dad, who taught me to be my own hero ii Acknowledgements There are so many people without whom this project would never have been possible. First and foremost, my parents, Paul and MaryAnn Frank, who never blinked when I told them I wanted to move half way across the country to read comic books for a living. Their unending support has taken many forms, from late-night pep talks and airport pick-ups to rides to Comic-Con at 3 am and listening to a comics nerd blather on for hours about why Man of Steel was so terrible. I could never hope to repay the patience, love, and trust they have given me throughout the years, but hopefully fewer midnight conversations about my dissertation will be a good start. Amanda Lotz has shown unwavering interest and support for me and for my work since before we were formally advisor and advisee, and her insight, feedback, and attention to detail kept me invested in my own work, even in times when my resolve to continue writing was flagging.

    Culture from Arnold to Schwarzenegger Imperial Literacy to Pop Culture (Destination Democracy?)

    Short History RH 1/10/02 10:43 Page 31 2 Culture from Arnold to Schwarzenegger Imperial Literacy to Pop Culture (destination democracy?) Cultural Studies and mass society theory Cultural studies was the study of mass or popular culture, especially the mass media in a mass society. It was also preoccupied with cultural politics, which in this context referred to a struggle between popular or mass culture and high or minority culture. However, that struggle was only seen as such by one side of the supposed contest. Very few individuals or organisations within the domain of popular culture itself sought actively to defeat or destroy high culture, least of all on behalf of the claims of the popular. If they took any notice, it was usually quite respectful, not to say reverential, as a viewing of almost any big-screen Shakespeare would instantly reveal. Militancy was confined to those who thought it necessary to struggle against popular culture on behalf of high or minority culture. These struggles began as an imperial discourse on the governability or oth- erwise of the masses in Britain. The 1860s to 1880s was a period of: G political agitation. The second Reform Act of 1867 extended the franchise to virtually all mature men; G educational reform. The Education Acts of 1870–81 established free, com- pulsory, elementary schooling; G imperial ascendancy (not to mention Fenian outrages). The British Empire had painted the world map red, bringing under the governance of the British crown ever more disparate, unruly and resistant subjects from all inhabited continents; G commercial and scientific materialism.

    “To Fight the Battles We Never Could”: The Militarization of Marvel’s Cinematic Superheroes by Brett Pardy B.A., The University of the Fraser Valley, 2013 Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the School of Communication Faculty of Communication, Art, and Technology Brett Pardy 2016 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Summer 2016 Approval Name: Brett Pardy Degree: Master of Arts Title: “To Fight the Battles We Never Could”: The Militarization of Marvel’s Cinematic Superheroes Examining Committee: Chair: Frederik Lesage Assistant Professor Zoë Druick Senior Supervisor Associate Professor Adel Iskander Supervisor Assistant Professor Michael Ma External Examiner Faculty Member Department of Criminology Kwantlen Polytechnic University Date Defended/Approved: June 16, 2016 ii Abstract The Marvel comics film adaptations have been some of the most successful Hollywood products of the post 9/11 period, bringing formerly obscure cultural texts into the mainstream. Through an analysis of the adaptation process of Marvel Entertainment’s superhero franchise from comics to film, I argue that a hegemonic American model of militarization has been used by Hollywood as a discursive formation with which to transform niche properties into mass market products. I consider the locations of narrative ambiguities in two key comics texts, The Ultimates (2002-2007) and The New Avengers (2005-2012), as well as in the film The Avengers (2012), and demonstrate the significant reorientation of the film franchise towards the American military’s “War on Terror”. While Marvel had attempted to produce film adaptations for decades, only under the new “militainment” discursive formation was it finally successful.
