Thanks for providing the encouragement and guidance when I felt lost or overwhelmed. iii ABSTRACT John Lloyd Exploring the Dynamics of Relationships and Emotional Processes of Comic Book Characters for Potential Implications in Family Therapy: A Content Analysis Approach May 2020 Engaging with clients who have difficulty in understanding and addressing their emotions can cause difficulty for therapists, specifically in working with adolescents who are likely to be resistant to therapy in general. Comic book therapy is an approach that can be utilized by a therapist to help an adolescent engage in therapy by processing through familiar emotions that the client observes in their favorite comic book characters. Using content analysis, the researcher coded a total of 14 graphic novels that were published by both DC and Marvel comics. The research presented in this dissertation indicates that there are a multitude of emotional expressions that are conveyed in comic books. Comic books also utilize an assortment of different mediums to convey emotion and utilize a variety of relational interactions to help characters express and convey their thoughts and emotions. The therapist can then utilize the examples provided by the researcher to aid in the breaking down of therapeutic and relational barriers to better improve a client’s overall emotional well-being. Over time, the practice of comic book therapy can be fine- tuned to better serve a diverse population of clientele. The researcher also intends for the research to be a starting point for a database to be created that benefits therapists and clients alike by identifying narrative themes that can be utilized within the context of therapy. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS DEDICATION .................................................................................................................... ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ................................................................................................. iii ABSTRACT ....................................................................................................................... iv TABLE OF CONTENTS .................................................................................................... v LIST OF TABLES ............................................................................................................. ix Chapter I.

  • Gidni 2 Literature 567 "Chumidelpe-Nashfalo" / Love
    GIDNI 2 LITERATURE "CHUMIDELPE-NASHFALO" / LOVE-AFFLICTION(OF ANY MALE WHO CASTS EYES ON THE FICTIONAL ‚GYPSY’ GIRL) Puskas-Bajko Albina, PhD Student, ”Petru Maior” University of Tîrgu Mureș Abstract:One should note this allegory, so explicit for a patriarchal reading: the endangered world order is announced by a rebellious woman; an adulteress, beaten half to death, stands up, the two halves of her body interchanged from the viewpoint of the mermaid whose lower part of her body is Řnormallyř uncovered. Likewise the character of Sabina in the film Gadjo Dilo. shows complete nudity only as prelude to a catastrophe: the Romanians set fire to Roma houses after Sabina is seen washing her hair, her breasts naked and skirts covering her lower body. It is worth mentioning that the main characters in all these various representations are males, as are the authors. In a sexually repressed society from nineteenth century Europe, fantastic anecdotes of women at the margins of society, endowed with un unmatched sensuality and sexuality were continuously arousing all kinds of dangerous fantasies of temptation and breaking rules, only natural reactions to strict rules of interdiction. „Just as in large numbers of images depicting colonial situations (postcards or press pictures), in the media that I am discussing here the women of the ŘOtherř are fantasised and displayed as aesthetically attractive and hence sexually desirable. But representations of Roma women are very different from the colonial images that emphasise the domestication of women, or display them nude for pornographic purposesŗ1 Keywords: ’Gypsy’, woman, attraction, magic, Otherness Starting with Carmen turning and twirling in her skirts and throwing flowers to Azucena‘s awful revenge, descriptions of ‘Gypsies‘ make their appearance quite frequently in written fiction.

María José Álvarez Faedo VºBº: Oviedo, 2012 To comic book creators of yesterday, today and tomorrow. The comics medium is a very specialized area of the Arts, home to many rare and talented blooms and flowering imaginations and it breaks my heart to see so many of our best and brightest bowing down to the same market pressures which drive lowest-common-denominator blockbuster movies and television cop shows. Let's see if we can call time on this trend by demanding and creating big, wild comics which stretch our imaginations. Let's make living breathing, sprawling adventures filled with mind-blowing images of things unseen on Earth. Let's make artefacts that are not faux-games or movies but something other, something so rare and strange it might as well be a window into another universe because that's what it is.
