Comics and Their Films Course Description De Smet Jesuit High School English IV: Comics and Their Films 21254 Robert Benjamin Bergman Phone: (314) 567-3500 ext. 411 e-mail: [email protected] (My email is up from 7:50 am until 6:00pm.) Homeroom: 217 Activity Period: 217 Meeting Times: 7:40-7:55 am, 2:50-3:15 Course Description: Comic Books started a world-wide phenomenon from their early inception as “Funny Pages” to the more modern Graphic Novel. They have been vilified, suppressed, banned, and raised to an art form. The class will attempt to define the nature of the comic book and why they receive such positivity in today’s world as opposed to the history of their banishment as “real” literature and how they have been adapted into some of the top grossing films of all time. An analysis of the “types” of comic superheroes will begin the class that will culminate in the discussion of the cultural impact of the comic. – From Ink to Screen Approach to the Material: Literature is not only the study of books. It is a study of the human condition at that point in history and how it translates to the modern reader. It is a way to look at the creative past to see our self through the ideas and visions of others and their perspectives of who they were and who we are. How do you define "Human Condition?" Social Systems Philosophical Systems Technological Systems Ecological Systems Political Systems Psychological Systems Economic Systems Artistic Systems This is also how you define a Literary Period. A body of literature that reflects these systems helps identify the period. You cannot separate the literature from the time period. It is a paradox of Example and Definition and how they are interrelated. Education is making connections. Identify why one thing is related to another -- the interrelationship of all things and its effect on all other things. Understanding Science helps in understanding Literature. Understanding Literature helps in understanding Theology. Understanding Theology helps in understanding Philosophy. Understanding Philosophy helps in understanding History. Understanding History helps in understanding Science. Etc. Etc. English Class is Ignatian . Jesuit education is a vision which is "Ignatian." The vision certainly, encompasses the entire high school community, and it recognizes that individuals have positive contributions to make to the community. Ignatian education allows students to pursue intellectual development to the fullest measure of their God-given talents. Ignatian education allows for the full growth of students which leads to action. At DeSmet, students learn that talents are gifts to be developed with the help of God, for the good of the human community. Ignatian education is the opportunity for students to explore human values critically and to test their own values experimentally. Ignatian education is the preparation for life. Ignatian education is love shown in deeds. At Jesuit schools, students learn, in light of competition, to distinguish themselves by their abilities to work together, to be sensitive to one another, to be committed to the service of others. Students who graduate from Jesuit high schools receive guidance and ongoing formation, we have a commitment to our former students. Our prime educational objective is to form Men-For-Others, men who cannot even conceive of love of God which does not include love for the least of their neighbors. We work toward the ideal of the well-rounded Spartan who is intellectually competent, open to growth, religious, loving, and committed to doing justice in generous service to the people of God. Learning Outcomes: By the end of the course students will: analyze the impact of popular culture discuss alternative literature discuss alternative art apply archetypal criticism to literary sources discuss social issues/problems addressed in artistic mediums Course Calendar: subject to change – a more detailed schedule will be available, and updated throughout the course of the semester.

    Why No Wonder Woman? A REPORT ON THE HISTORY OF WONDER WOMAN AND A CALL TO ACTION!! Created for Wonder Woman Fans Everywhere Introduction by Jacki Zehner with Report Written by Laura Moore April 15th, 2013 Wonder Woman - p. 2 April 15th, 2013 AN INTRODUCTION AND FRAMING “The destiny of the world is determined less by battles that are lost and won than by the stories it loves and believes in” – Harold Goddard. I believe in the story of Wonder Woman. I always have. Not the literal baby being made from clay story, but the metaphorical one. I believe in a story where a woman is the hero and not the victim. I believe in a story where a woman is strong and not weak. Where a woman can fall in love with a man, but she doesnʼt need a man. Where a woman can stand on her own two feet. And above all else, I believe in a story where a woman has superpowers that she uses to help others, and yes, I believe that a woman can help save the world. “Wonder Woman was created as a distinctly feminist role model whose mission was to bring the Amazon ideals of love, peace, and sexual equality to ʻa world torn by the hatred of men.ʼ”1 While the story of Wonder Woman began back in 1941, I did not discover her until much later, and my introduction didnʼt come at the hands of comic books. Instead, when I was a little girl I used to watch the television show starring Lynda Carter, and the animated television series, Super Friends.

    Two Lives: Animation and Development. Una Gallagher B00475908 MDes Design Communication, DES811, Paul McKevitt, School of creative Arts, University of Ulster. 1 Abstract “Two Lives” is a story split into two versions, a comic and an animation adaptation. Digital art, hand drawing, traditional animation and rotoscope animation are all combined to make these pieces a reality. “Two Lives” was produced by Pearlmoon Productions which was also founded during its production. The Author of this piece is co-founder of Pearlmoon Productions and oversees all creative direction, animation production, comic production, art, idea development, editing, visual presence, branding and many other roles within the group. The goal of “Two Lives” is to create a standalone story for the purpose of providing entertainment that can be enjoyed across many platforms. It was created using traditional and digital mediums and it is influenced heavily on eastern styled animation and comics. As part of that aim, Pearlmoon Productions serves a similar purpose, aiming to give multi-platform life to continuations, new project, and other forms of entertainment. “Two Lives” was reviewed well by peers and the production went smoothly. Future work derived from “Two Lives” will be a sequel comic book chronicling the continued stories of the main characters as they continue their lives. 1. Introduction “Two Lives” is both a comic book and animation that aims to bring a story into several mediums to create a new perspective on the story itself. Pearlmoon Productions was the name given to the people who created both the design, animation and the visual elements and the music and sound creators.

But women’s roles in comics have often been diminished as they become victims, damsels in distress, and sidekicks. This thesis explores the problems that female characters often face in comic books, but it also shows the positive representation that new creators have introduced over the years.

  • Alisa Heskin Religion in Film Dr. Hammerling Final Paper 25 November, 2014
    Alisa Heskin Religion in Film Dr. Hammerling Final Paper 25 November, 2014 Walking the Abyss in Batman: Mask of the Phantasm “He who fights with monsters should be careful lest he thereby become a monster. And if thou gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will also gaze into thee.”1 For Friedrich Nietzsche and countless others, the abyss has long been a source of fascination. It is the “huge and yawning emptiness” of Ginnungagap where existence first comes to be in Norse mythology.2 The abyss also finds itself in Genesis as the void and the “darkness [that] was upon the face of the deep.”3 Alongside this connection to beginnings and life, the abyss is also “symbolic of hell, destruction, or death.”4 This is the abyss that seems to possess this unnerving sentience and stares back with the implied threat of death, moral or physical. It is the second of two “eternities of darkness,” the specter that is yet to follow this “brief crack of light.”5 Cinema proves an apt medium in probing this discussion further since films “both interpret us and are being interpreted by us.”6 Acclaimed documentarian Werner Herzog and director of the 2011 film Into the Abyss noted that more than one of his films could have had that title since they often explore the “abyss of the soul” and our “humanness” whether it is on death row in Texas in the aforementioned film or beneath the ice of Antarctica in Encounters at the End of the World (2007).7 Indeed, a part of what makes Into the Abyss so powerful is that in making the film, Herzog himself faced the abyss, did so unflinchingly, and 1 Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil (New York: Barnes & Noble, 2007), pg.

  • The Problem of Evil in DC Universe Animated Movies, 2007–2016 DC Multiverse, an Ironic Illustration of Leibniz’S Theodicy?
    Toufic El-Khoury The Problem of Evil in DC Universe Animated Movies, 2007–2016 DC Multiverse, an Ironic Illustration of Leibniz’s Theodicy? ABSTRACT This article explores the question of evil and its metaphysical and moral implications in a series of animated movie adaptations of the DC Universe produced since 2006. The contemporary evolution of the medium, called the “Iron Age of comics”, has seen the auto-reflexive nature of comics produce problems and themes related to the main question discussed in Christian theodicy: how can we perceive and define the possibility of evil in a world where God’s omnipotence should have eliminated such a possibility? Moreover, why does evil seem to spread indefinitely in spite of all the efforts deployed by superheroes to stop evil? We will discuss the problem of evil as a natural narrative topic in light of comics’ mythological and religious roots and with a particular study case: DC Comics Multiverse as an illustration of Leibniz’s “best of all possible worlds” argument. KeyWorDs DC comics, animated movies, cinema, theodicy, problem of evil, Leibniz.
