  • Daniele Barbieri Il Ritorno Dei Manga Sei Anni Fa, Assai Poco Rimpianta, E
    Daniele Barbieri Il ritorno dei manga Sei anni fa, assai poco rimpianta, e assai poco da rimpiangere, chiudeva la rivista Candy Candy, serie di punta di un'invasione del fumetto giapponese - ma soprattutto del cartone animato - che aveva riscosso molta fortuna tra i bambini e pochissima tra i genitori. Eroica e megarobotica o patetica e sentimentale, la produzione giapponese penetrata in Italia dagli anni Settanta ai primi Ottanta non si distingueva certo per la qualità. Da allora ad oggi, benché sei anni possano non sembrare molti, sono cambiate molte cose. Intanto il boom italiano dei giapponesi, già allora in via di esaurimento, si è spento del tutto - lasciando come residuo solo il cartone animato, e anche quello in modica quantità. Insieme con il boom si sono spente polemiche e lamentele, che hanno trovato altrove i loro bersagli. C'è stata in Italia nel frattempo la crisi, e in seguito la ripresa, del fumetto in generale, una ripresa costruitasi sul filone mistero-horror e sul comics americano di supereroi. E c'è oggi, da circa un paio d'anni a questa parte, un crescente ritorno del fumetto giapponese, il manga, ma con credenziali ben diverse da quelle di quindici anni fa. C'è prima di tutto una differenza di target: non più bambini sotto i dieci anni o pre- adolescenti, ma, in generale, adolescenti o addirittura adulti tendenzialmente acculturati. C'è poi una differenza nel modo di arrivare a noi: non più come corollario di successi televisivi, bensì sull'onda dell'interesse diffuso negli Stati Uniti per il manga e dell'influenza notevole da esso esercitata sul fumetto americano.

    WMC INVESTIGATION: 10-YEAR ANALYSIS OF GENDER & OSCAR NOMINATIONS womensmediacenter.com @womensmediacntr WOMEN’S MEDIA CENTER ABOUT THE WOMEN’S MEDIA CENTER In 2005, Jane Fonda, Robin Morgan, and Gloria Steinem founded the Women’s Media Center (WMC), a progressive, nonpartisan, nonproft organization endeav- oring to raise the visibility, viability, and decision-making power of women and girls in media and thereby ensuring that their stories get told and their voices are heard. To reach those necessary goals, we strategically use an array of interconnected channels and platforms to transform not only the media landscape but also a cul- ture in which women’s and girls’ voices, stories, experiences, and images are nei- ther suffciently amplifed nor placed on par with the voices, stories, experiences, and images of men and boys. Our strategic tools include monitoring the media; commissioning and conducting research; and undertaking other special initiatives to spotlight gender and racial bias in news coverage, entertainment flm and television, social media, and other key sectors. Our publications include the book “Unspinning the Spin: The Women’s Media Center Guide to Fair and Accurate Language”; “The Women’s Media Center’s Media Guide to Gender Neutral Coverage of Women Candidates + Politicians”; “The Women’s Media Center Media Guide to Covering Reproductive Issues”; “WMC Media Watch: The Gender Gap in Coverage of Reproductive Issues”; “Writing Rape: How U.S. Media Cover Campus Rape and Sexual Assault”; “WMC Investigation: 10-Year Review of Gender & Emmy Nominations”; and the Women’s Media Center’s annual WMC Status of Women in the U.S.

Following the savage slaughter in Aeneid 10, the AND book opens in a mournful mood as the warring parti es revisit yesterday’s killing fi elds to att end to their dead. One casualty in parti cular commands att enti on: Aeneas’ protégé H Pallas, killed and despoiled by Turnus in the previous book. His death plunges his father ENDERSON Evander and his surrogate father Aeneas into heart-rending despair – and helps set up the foundati onal act of sacrifi cial brutality that caps the poem, when Aeneas seeks to avenge Pallas by slaying Turnus in wrathful fury. Turnus’ departure from the living is prefi gured by that of his ally Camilla, a maiden schooled in the marti al arts, who sets the mold for warrior princesses such as Xena and Wonder Woman. In the fi nal third of Aeneid 11, she wreaks havoc not just on the batt lefi eld but on gender stereotypes and the conventi ons of the epic genre, before she too succumbs to a premature death. In the porti ons of the book selected for discussion here, Virgil off ers some of his most emoti ve (and disturbing) meditati ons on the tragic nature of human existence – but also knows how to lighten the mood with a bit of drag.

  • We'll Have a Gay Ol'time: Trangressive Sexulaity and Sexual Taboo In
    We’ll have a gay ol’ time: transgressive sexuality and sexual taboo in adult television animation By Adam de Beer Thesis Presented for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in Film Studies in the Faculty of Humanities and the Centre for Film and Media Studies UNIVERSITY OF CAPE TOWN UniversityFebruary of 2014Cape Town Supervisor: Associate Professor Martin P. Botha The copyright of this thesis vests in the author. No quotation from it or information derived from it is to be published without full acknowledgement of the source. The thesis is to be used for private study or non- commercial research purposes only. Published by the University of Cape Town (UCT) in terms of the non-exclusive license granted to UCT by the author. University of Cape Town Declaration I declare that this thesis is my own unaided work. It is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Cape Town. It has not been submitted before for any other degree or examination at any other university. Adam de Beer February 2014 ii Abstract This thesis develops an understanding of animation as transgression based on the work of Christopher Jenks. The research focuses on adult animation, specifically North American primetime television series, as manifestations of a social need to violate and thereby interrogate aspects of contemporary hetero-normative conformity in terms of identity and representation. A thematic analysis of four animated television series, namely Family Guy, Queer Duck, Drawn Together, and Rick & Steve, focuses on the texts themselves and various metatexts that surround these series. The analysis focuses specifically on expressions and manifestations of gay sexuality and sexual taboos and how these are articulated within the animated diegesis.
