When did the rascals of “The Front Page” turn into the scoundrels of “Absence of Malice”? Why did reporters stop being heroes played by Clark Gable, Bette Davis and Cary Grant and become bit actors playing rogues dogging at the heels of Bruce Willis and Goldie Hawn? It all happened in the dark as people watched movies and sat at home listening to radio and watching television. “The Image of the Journalist in Popular Culture” explores the continuing, evolving relationship between the American people and their media. It investigates the conflicting images of reporters in movies and television and demonstrates, decade by decade, their impact on the American public’s perception of newsgatherers in the 20th century. The class shows how it happened first on the big screen, then on the small screens in homes across the country. The class investigates the image of the cinematic newsgatherer from silent films to the 1990s, from Hildy Johnson of “The Front Page” and Charles Foster Kane of “Citizen Kane” to Jane Craig in “Broadcast News.” The reporter as the perfect movie hero.

  • Crisis of Infinite Intertexts! Continuity As Adaptation in the Superman Multimedia Franchise
    Crisis of Infinite Intertexts! Continuity as Adaptation in the Superman Multimedia Franchise Jack Peterson Teiwes ORCID identifier 0000-0001-8956-1602 Doctor of Philosophy November 2015 School of Culture and Communication The University of Melbourne Submitted in total fulfillment of the requirements of the PhD degree Produced on archival quality paper Abstract Since first appearing as a comic book character over three quarters of a century ago, Superman was not only the first superhero, spawning an entire genre of imitators, but also quickly became one of the most widely disseminated multi-media entertainment franchises. This achieved a degree of intergenerational cultural dissemination that far surpasses his comic book fandom. Yet despite an unprecedented degree of adaptation into other media from radio, newspaper strips, film serials, animation, feature films, video games and television, Superman’s ongoing comic books have remained in unbroken publication, developing a long and complex history of narrative renewal and reinvention. This thesis investigates the multifaceted intertextuality between the comic book portrayals of Superman and its many adaptations over the years, including how such retellings in other media have a generally stronger cultural impact, which exerts in turn an adaptive influence upon these continuing comics’ internalised narrative continuity. I shall argue that Superman comics, as a case study for the wider phenomenon in the superhero genre, demonstrate via their frequent revisions and relaunches of continuity, a process of deeply palimpsestuous self-adaptation. The Introduction positions my research methodology in relation to intertextual theory, with an emphasis on providing terminological clarity, while Chapter 1 expands into a literature review on pertinent key scholarship on adaptation studies and the comics studies field specifically.

    ometimes I think Earth has got to be the insane asylum of the universe. and I’m here by computer error. At sixty-eight, I hope I’ve gained some wisdom in the past fourteen lustrums and it’s obligatory to speak plain and true about the conclusions I’ve come to; now that I have been educated to believe by such mentors as Wells, Stapledon, Heinlein, van Vogt, Clarke, Pohl, (S.

I was a secular humanist before I knew the term. I have not believed in god since childhood’s end. I believe a belief in any deity is adolescent, shameful and dangerous. How would you feel, surrounded by billions of human beings taking Santa Claus, the Easter bunny, the tooth fairy and the stork seriously and capable of shaming, maiming or murdering in their name? I am embarrassed to live in a world retaining any faith in church, prayer or celestial creator. I do not believe in Heaven, Hell or a Hereafter; in angels, demons, ghosts, goblins, the Devil, vampires, ghouls, zombies, witches, warlocks, UFOs or other delusions and in very few mundane individuals - politicians, lawyers, judges, priests, militarists, censors and just plain people.

  • THE DRINK TANK 399 1 the DRINK TANK 399 Editors - Vanessa, James, Chris
    THE DRINK TANK 399 1 THE DRINK TANK 399 Editors - Vanessa, James, Chris The Second-to-Last issue of This Fine Fanzine Superman was created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shushter and first appeared in the fanzine Science Fiction issue 3, then first in regular comics in Action Comics #1. He’s been the backbone of DC Comics since 1938. For years and years, whenever a new comic was introduced, either Superman or Batman was used in the first issue of the new comic to help get them over. He has died once, killed by Doomsday, and has been re-invented more than a few times. 1 SUPERMAN VS. CAPTAIN MARVEL From Kingdom Come by Alex Ross When Vanessa asked to me marry her, she gave me a Superman ring. She said that I was her Superman. They say that men want to be Batman, but I was never, ever happier to be Superman! This issue is dedicated to Superman, of course. I grew up loving Plastic Man and The Flash, and Captain Marvel (who I always called Shazam, only to be corrected, but who is now called Shazam!), but Superman was, well, Superman. He could be a boring fuddyduddy, while Batman was always cool and anti-establishment, SUperman always played by the rules. Still, there is something magical about Superman that has allowed him to be re- imagined so often. The best of the Superman Elseworld’s were almost as good as those dedicated to Batman, and things like Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow were equally awesome.
