Popular culture is at the heart of democratic citizenship. It serves as an engine driving technology, innovation, and information, as well as a methodological lens employed by the many scholarly fields that examine culture, often from an interdisciplinary perspective. Yet, despite its growing significance, we argue that there are not enough venues for publishing pioneering popular culture scholarship. Thus, the need for The Popular Culture Studies Journal. The articles, essays, and book reviews in this inaugural issue of PCSJ demonstrate the scope and breadth the editorial team would like to pursue as this publication accelerates up to full speed. Taken as a whole, they encompass many critical areas: theory-development and building, exploration of contemporary challenges, links to the discipline’s history, and innovative analysis and assessment across mass communications channels, including literature, television, and film. Andrew F. Herrmann’s lead article, for example, demonstrates the way scholars might use popular culture in autoethnographic research. In addition, the piece also reveals how critical popular culture is as one creates, develops, and employs a worldview. Each article in PCSJ pushes the envelope in a similar manner. The editorial team also wanted to use the launch the new journal to showcase several innovations. Foremost, PCSJ is partnering with Laureano Ralon and his award-winning Figure/Ground Communication website (www.figureground.org) to feature an exclusive interview with an important popular culture scholar in each issue. We are proud that the first interview is with Arthur Asa Berger, one of the world’s preeminent scholars across communications, mass media, research methodology, and popular culture. Berger is a towering figure in popular culture studies, thus an ideal first for PCSJ. Also, to provide a new twist on traditional book reviews, PCSJ features “New Perspectives on Classics Texts,” the opportunity for today’s scholars to re-assess and reconsider a classic book and its influence over time. We hope readers will share other ideas with us, so that we can offer additional new advances. In closing, the editorial staff has chalked up numerous debts in producing this double issue. First, we would like to thank the members of the MPCA/ACA leadership team and the members who comprised the Journal Committee. In addition, we would like to thank filmmaker Brent Jones for designing the splendid cover, which helps us create a brand immediately differentiated from other academic journals. Of course, we also thank the Editorial Advisory Board members for their diligent efforts. A special note of appreciation to Thiel College, the journal’s academic home, and President Troy VanAken and Dean Lynn Franken for their warm support. We hope that each MPCA/ACA member finds The Popular Culture Studies Journal useful and important. Please dive into the journal and let us know what you think! Bob Batchelor Editor Editorial: What is Popular Culture? BOB BATCHELOR After decades (or maybe centuries) of asking this bedeviling question, scholars around the world still agonize over how to express popular culture. Is it as water is to the fish, as our intellectual forefather Ray B. Browne concluded, or is it simply all that is not elite or high culture? Moving from the tactical to the strategic or meta-level, one might wonder if popular culture is even a thing. Perhaps it is more like the air or oxygen than water or maybe the atmosphere itself, something we know exists but cannot visibly see or easily explain. Maybe it is more like the sun, always there, essential to life, yet a thing we know relatively little about, particularly given its centrality to our very existence. Regardless of one’s specific definition, it is impossible to deny the ubiquity of popular culture in contemporary society. It is so rampant that it could be viewed as a kind of common or global language that links people across geographic, class, race, gender, and economic lines, though these factors certainly play a critical role in how one speaks or interacts with popular culture. The notion of standing around a water cooler at work and discussing last night’s new television series or film debut is important in how culture breaks barriers—anyone can participate. This idea remains central even as the water cooler itself rarely exists in today’s workplace and has more or less become a part of pop culture lore. My inclination is to view popular culture as the connections that form between individuals and objects. It is one’s engaging with a popular culture entity that then produces a feeling in the person that takes culture to an emotional level. I suggest that it is this instinctual link to culture that results in the chemical reaction that bursts in one’s brain when encountering popular culture items. That rush can feel like or actually be chemistry, hatred, attraction, antipathy, or love. Whether it is a favorite novel, particular film, or piece of music, we are chemically attuned to popular culture. Observer’s claim that the brain is “hard- wired” to comprehend many things, popular culture is one of the most critical. In examining literature, for example, scholar Richard M. Dorson explains: The Popular Culture Studies Journal, Vol. 1, No. 1&2 Copyright © 2013 1 Bob Batchelor 2 A tale is not a dictated text with interlinear translation, but a living recitation delivered to a responsive audience for such cultural purposes as reinforcement of custom and taboo, release of aggressions through fantasy, pedagogical explanations of the natural world, and applications of pressures for conventional behavior. (21) Again, on an instinctual level then, popular culture is the manifestation of our physical desire for culture. I hazard this is why a baby will

  • Myth, Metatext, Continuity and Cataclysm in Dc Comics’ Crisis on Infinite Earths
    WORLDS WILL LIVE, WORLDS WILL DIE: MYTH, METATEXT, CONTINUITY AND CATACLYSM IN DC COMICS’ CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS Adam C. Murdough A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2006 Committee: Angela Nelson, Advisor Marilyn Motz Jeremy Wallach ii ABSTRACT Angela Nelson, Advisor In 1985-86, DC Comics launched an extensive campaign to revamp and revise its most important superhero characters for a new era. In many cases, this involved streamlining, retouching, or completely overhauling the characters’ fictional back-stories, while similarly renovating the shared fictional context in which their adventures take place, “the DC Universe.” To accomplish this act of revisionist history, DC resorted to a text-based performative gesture, Crisis on Infinite Earths. This thesis analyzes the impact of this singular text and the phenomena it inspired on the comic-book industry and the DC Comics fan community. The first chapter explains the nature and importance of the convention of “continuity” (i.e., intertextual diegetic storytelling, unfolding progressively over time) in superhero comics, identifying superhero fans’ attachment to continuity as a source of reading pleasure and cultural expressivity as the key factor informing the creation of the Crisis on Infinite Earths text. The second chapter consists of an eschatological reading of the text itself, in which it is argued that Crisis on Infinite Earths combines self-reflexive metafiction with the ideologically inflected symbolic language of apocalypse myth to provide DC Comics fans with a textual "rite of transition," to win their acceptance for DC’s mid-1980s project of self- rehistoricization and renewal.

  • Existentialism of DC Comics' Superman
    Word and Text Vol. VII 151 – 167 A Journal of Literary Studies and Linguistics 2017 Re-theorizing the Problem of Identity and the Onto- Existentialism of DC Comics’ Superman Kwasu David Tembo University of Edinburgh E-mail: [email protected] Abstract One of the central onto-existential tensions at play within the contemporary comic book superhero is the tension between identity and disguise. Contemporary comic book scholarship typically posits this phenomenon as being primarily a problem of dual identity. Like most comic book superheroes, superbeings, and costumed crime fighters who avail themselves of multiple identities as an essential part of their aesthetic and narratological repertoire, DC Comics character Superman is also conventionally aggregated in this analytical framework. While much scholarly attention has been directed toward the thematic and cultural tensions between two of the character’s best-known and most recognizable identities, namely ‘Clark Kent of Kansas’ and ‘Superman of Earth’, the character in question is in fact an identarian multiplicity consisting of three ‘identity-machines’: ‘Clark’, ‘Superman’, and ‘Kal-El of Krypton’. Referring to the schizoanalysis developed by the French theorists Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari in Anti- Oedipus. Capitalism and Schizophrenia (orig. 1972), as well as relying on the kind of narratological approach developed in the 1960s, this paper seeks to re-theorize the onto- existential tension between the character’s triplicate identities which the current scholarly interpretation of the character’s relationship with various concepts of identity overlooks. Keywords: Superman, identity, comic books, Deleuze and Guattari, schizoanalysis The Problem of Identity: Fingeroth and Dual Identities Evidenced by the work of contemporary comic book scholars, creators, and commentators, there is a tradition of analysis that typically understands the problem of identity at play in Superman, and most comic book superheroes by extension, as primarily a problem of duality.

  • Justice League Crisis on Two Earths Download Mp4 Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths Blu-Ray Review
    justice league crisis on two earths download mp4 Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths Blu-ray Review. The Justice League meets their evil counterparts. You can guess what happens next. Those who want to see the seeds of that connection between Crisis and the television incarnations of the Justice League won't have to look very hard. The character designs are similar, and although the lineup of heroes is slightly different, it begins with a small, core team working on the satellite that will eventually become the base of operations for a larger cast of characters. The main cast includes Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, Flash, Martian Manhunter and Green Lantern (Hal Jordon, not John Stewart, as in the TV series). There are also cameos galore, including some characters we already know and their evil alter egos from a parallel world (who are fun to figure out if you know anything about the DC Universe). To further distance this story from the others that have come before, there have been some voice cast changes as well. The new voices take some getting used to, and in some cases it's tough to get over the image that goes along with the voice. But once the well-animated action kicks in, you'll start to see Batman instead of William ("Billy") Baldwin, Superman instead of Mark Harmon and Lex Luthor instead of Chris Noth. Not to be outdone, the villains also have some marquee names to their credits, with none other than James Woods providing the subtly sinister voice of alt- universe Batman, known in his world as Owl Man, and Gina Torres sounding at once seductive and strong as Super Woman, an evil counterpart to Wonder Woman.
