  • Iron Man As Cyborg: Between Masculinities by Evdokia Stefanopoulou, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece
    Iron Man as Cyborg: Between Masculinities By Evdokia Stefanopoulou, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece Abstract Since the turn of the millennium there has been a mass proliferation of superhero movies. From the appearance of the fist Spider-Man film in 2002 since the latest installment in the Ca ptain America series (2016), superhero movies have a tremendous popular and economic success. These popular texts have also a massive cultural impact by articulating their representations and ideologies in a global audience consisting of different national, racial, class and gender identities. The gender issues in superhero movies are often accompanied by the common observation that the great majority of superheroes are men and the rare presence of women is marked by their placement in a supporting role, thus reproducing a patriarchal ideology. Although this phenomenon can indeed be characterized as an excessive demonstration of masculine power and superheroes can be seen as mythical figures of a technological patriarchy, I would also suggest a different approach, an antithetical reading. This approach examines the overstated “technological sublime in human form” (Wasielewski 66) as a sort of divergent embodiment of subjectivity, one that contains the notion of the cyborg as described by Donna Harraway, one containing its own blurring of the ontological boundaries (161), therefore projecting its own existence as a social construction. Deploying this approach, I would examine the gender representations in the Iron Man trilogy (2008, 2010, 2013) not as demonstration of patriarchal power, but as masculinity in crisis, a masculinity undermined by its excessive technological look and its status as a constructed fabrication.

    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE SCHOOL OF MUSIC MARVEL SUPERHERO FILM: THE USE OF MUSIC AND SOUND DESIGN IN NARRATIVE TRANSITION ZONES WILLIAM CLARENCE BROADDUS SPRING 2016 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a baccalaureate degree in Music Education with honors in Music Education Reviewed and approved* by the following: Eric McKee Professor of Music Theory Thesis Supervisor Linda Thornton Associate Professor of Music Education Honors Adviser * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i ABSTRACT Releasing every year since 2008, Marvel superhero films have taken over the box office as a family favorite cinematic experience. The public acceptance begs the question as to whether or not there is something special about this group of superhero films compared to others. After further analysis, it seems that a majority of these films draw the audience in through a specific combination of sight and sound. While screen writers follow the five traditional segments of plot: exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution, it is the moments between these segments of plot that draw the audiences attention. Composers have identified these transition zones and use music in various ways to provide critical information about character development, conflict, and resolution. Through the analysis of four Marvel films: Captain America: The First Avenger, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Iron Man, and Iron Man 2, I aim to evaluate the success at which these composers guide the audience through each transition zone into new segments of plot. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF FIGURES..................................................................................................... iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS...................................................................................... v Introduction ............................................................................................................
