Downloaded from PRISM: https://prism.ucalgary.ca UNIVERSITY OF CALGARY Not as She is: A Novel About Elizabeth Siddal by Emily Ursuliak A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH CALGARY, ALBERTA SEPTEMBER, 2013 © Emily Ursuliak 2013 Abstract This novel follows in the feminist tradition of reclaiming female artists who have been overlooked, or misrepresented. Not as She is centers around Elizabeth Siddal, a Victorian-era artist, known for her connections with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood (PRB), but also a worthy artist in her own right. Siddal is often viewed by traditional art historians as a hysterical, laudanum-addicted muse, but the fictional representation of her life found in this novel provides a more complex account. By using first person and second person points of view in present tense, the reader is given a more vivid version of Siddal as she struggles with her addiction to laudanum, becomes absorbed in the process of creating art and lives her daily life.

  • Examining the Regressive State of Comics Through DC Comics' Crisis on Infinite Earths
    How to Cope with Crisis: Examining the Regressive State of Comics through DC Comics' Crisis on Infinite Earths Devon Lamonte Keyes Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in English Virginia Fowler, Chair James Vollmer Evan Lavender-Smith May 10, 2019 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: Comics Studies, Narratology, Continuity Copyright 2019, Devon Lamonte Keyes How to Cope with Crisis: Examining the Regressive state of Comics through DC Comics' Crisis on Infinite Earths Devon Lamonte Keyes (ABSTRACT) The sudden and popular rise of comic book during the last decade has seen many new readers, filmgoers, and television watchers attempt to navigate the world of comics amid a staggering influx of content produced by both Marvel and DC Comics. This process of navigation is, of course, not without precedence: a similar phenomenon occurred during the 1980s in which new readers turned to the genre as superhero comics began to saturate the cultural consciousness after a long period of absence. And, just as was the case during that time, such a navigation can prove difficult as a veritable network of information|much of which is contradictory|vies for attention. How does one navigate a medium to which comic books, graphic novels, movies, television shows, and other supplementary forms all contribute? Such a task has, in the past, proven to be near insurmountable. DC Comics is no stranger to this predicament: during the second boom of superhero comics, it sought to untangle the canonical mess made by decades of overlapping history to the groundbreaking limited series Crisis on Infinite Earths, released to streamline its then collection of stories by essentially nullifying its previous canon and starting from scratch.

Issue XVI 2004 The Harper Anthology Foreword Dear readers, On behalf of The Harper Anthology committee of the Harper College English department, I am pleased to present another excellent collection of students' academic writing produced in Harper classes, this time covering the year 2003. This volume featured a near-record number of submissions--over 170-and as far as I know, the high number of articles published-48-is also a record. A new diversity of types of writing is also represented in this volume. In addition to the many excellent papers from Liberal Arts, there are also exemplary works from Biology, Interior Design, Economics, Physics, ESL, Computer Information Systems, and Mathematics. The diversity of this publication is testimony, once again, to the far-reaching abilities of Harper students, but also to the quality and vitality of the academic and career programs at Harper College, and to the faculty's desire to honor all types of excellent student work through publication.

  • Visualizing Superman: Artistic Strategizing in Early Representations of the Archetypal Man in Comic Books
    arts Article Visualizing Superman: Artistic Strategizing in Early Representations of the Archetypal Man in Comic Books Bar Leshem Department of the Arts, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Be’er Sheva 8410501, Israel; [email protected] Abstract: In 1933, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, two Jewish teenagers from Ohio, fashioned an ideal personality called Superman and a narrative of his marvelous deeds. Little did they suspect that several years after conceptualizing the figure and their many vain attempts to sell the story to various comic book publishers, their creation would give rise to the iconic genre of comic book superheroes. There is no doubt that the Superman character and the accompanying narrative led to Siegel and Shuster, the writer and artist, respectively, becoming famous. However, was it only the appealing character and compelling narrative that accounted for the story’s enormous popularity, which turned its creators into such a celebrated pair, or did the visual design play a major part in that phenomenal success? Recent years have seen a burgeoning interest in the comic book medium in several disciplines, including history, philosophy, and literature. However, little has been written about its visual aspect, and comic book art has not yet been accorded much recognition among art historians. Since the integration of storyline and art is what allow the comic book medium to be unique and interesting, I contend that there should be a focus on the art as well as on the narrative of works in comic books. In the present study, I explore the significance of the visual image in the prototype of the Superman figure that Siegel and Schuster sold to DC Comics and its first appearance in the series American Comic Books.
