CCI.UTK.EDU 1 A MESSAGE FROM Dean Mike Wirth The past year was momentous in so many ways. Last fall, we celebrated CCI’s 50-year anniversary with many alums, friends and supporters joining us for a wonderful celebration at the Knox- ville Convention Center. In the spring, our students and faculty had to pivot to 100 percent remote teaching and learning after Spring Break as a result of COVID-19 including holding vir- tual Spring Commencements. In summer, thanks to so many of you, we celebrated the end of UT’s Join the Journey Cam- paign during which CCI raised $22.4 million, 149 percent of our campaign goal of $15 million. These milestones serve to highlight the incredible work of CCI’s dedicated faculty, staff, students, alumni, friends and administrators and underscore the continued growth and potential of this great College. Since its inception in 1969, the College has enriched the com- munication and information professions by fulfilling its mission to educate students, conduct cutting edge research and creative work and serve our communities. We embrace the values of intellectual pursuit, honesty and integrity, diversity and inclusion, interna- tional and intercultural awareness, social justice, and other core ideals of the University of Tennessee in the land-grant tradition as we send our graduates into the world. This special College has had a profound impact on all of us and the Communications Building/Circle Park is “hallowed ground.” As you look through this document, you’ll see the names of many “CCI greats,” both past and present. You’ll also see stories about: how our faculty, staff and students rose to the challenge of remote teaching and learning, our outstanding programs (e.g., diversity and inclusion, documentary films, study abroad and social me- dia), our world-class research, our new degree programs, and our outstanding students and alumni. We are an integral part of the Volunteer family and a significant part of the greatness of this 226-year-old institution. Our alumni have done remarkable things in their professions and epitomize the VOLunteer spirit in their communities. You in- spire all of us –students, faculty and staff – to strive for excellence in everything we do. The work of building a world class college is never done. Thanks to your ongoing help and support, CCI will continue its ascent over the next 50 years as a premiere College of Communication and Information. I hope you enjoy this commemorative annual report. Please know you have an open invitation to come back to Rocky Top to visit CCI and to share your ideas for helping us become more successful!

  • Comic Book Biography: Keith Giffen by Rik Offenberger
    Comic Book Biography: Keith Giffen by Rik Offenberger It’s one of the better creator stories of the past couple of years. After a stretch where he could barely get a nod of recognition from Marvel or DC, Keith Giffen is experiencing a career renaissance rarely seen. While he was a major force to contend with in comics in the later ‘80s and ‘90s, thanks to his work on Legion of Super- Heroes and Justice League, both titles ultimately went through major shifts in tone, and as their directions changed, so did their writer. For a long-ish period, it seemed that Giffen was gone from comics as well. His name would pop up occasionally, but for the most part, comics seemed to have moved on, and Giffen wasn’t on the train. Give it a few years, and things do change. With a solid foundation based in translating popular manga series, and some new superhero work through Boom! Studios, Giffen is back in full force, overseeing not one, but two major events: Annihilation at Marvel and 52 at DC. It’s a comeback that would make not only any of Giffen’s contemporaries, but…well, any creator working in mainstream comics jealous. During some of his rare free time, we sat down with Giffen for a look back, around, and forward. Newsarama: Keith, let's just jump into it at the beginning - where did you study art? Keith Giffen: The Little Falls public library. I didn't really have any formal art training and it shows. The year I spent at the NY School of Visual Arts was a faux hippie, metaphysical nightmare and the night courses I took at the DuCret School only reinforced what I'd already pulled from the library's books.

Instead, those villains are never seen again, and instead the foe becomes a group of other African leaders who presumably represent other animal deity totems. Why not? Yeah, no real complaints. A major improvement over book Two with much more interesting stories such as "Return of the Dragon" and "Enemy of the State", where once again we are witnesses to T'Challa's superb strategist skills. Was well on my way to hating this collection. Great Read! Members save with free shipping everyday! Details if other :. Related Searches. Iron Man shows up after a while. Mar 24, Ricardo Noronha rated it really liked it. It's like being on a shitty rollercoaster that keeps ramping up, but all the drops are four or five feet, and then it's flat forever. The Skrull invasion only lasts 3 issues and is written by Jason Aaron, who does a fantastic job telling an action-packed story of what happens when powerful alien shapeshifters make a play for the vibranium mound.

Eric Sadler rated it it was amazing May 14, Incredible Hulk Vol 2 33 December, So I naturally thought the story would progress with at least Atlantis and Latveria waging war on the vulnerable country while their military and spiritual leader is down. This story's not horrible but there's not really a great context for what type of story this alternate future, etc.

    American Superhero Comics: Fractal Narrative and The New Deal A dissertation presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Lawrence W. Beemer June 2011 © 2011 Lawrence W. Beemer. All Rights Reserved. 2 This dissertation titled American Superhero Comics: Fractal Narrative and The New Deal by LAWRENCE W. BEEMER has been approved for the English Department of Ohio University and the College of Arts and Sciences by ______________________________ Robert Miklitsch Professor of English ______________________________ Benjamin M. Ogles Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT BEEMER, LAWRENCE W., Ph.D., June 2011, English American Superhero Comics: Fractal Narrative and The New Deal (204 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Robert Miklitsch Coining the term "fractal narrative," this dissertation examines the complex storytelling structure that is particular to contemporary American superhero comics. Whereas other mediums most often require narrative to function as self-contained and linear, individual superhero comics exist within a vast and intricate continuity that is composed of an indeterminate number of intersecting threads. Identical to fractals, the complex geometry of the narrative structure found in superhero comics when taken as a whole is constructed by the perpetual iteration of a single motif that was established at the genre's point of origin in Action Comics #1. The first appearance of Superman institutes all of the features and rhetorical elements that define the genre, but it also encodes it with the specific ideology of The New Deal era. In order to examine this fractal narrative structure, this dissertation traces historical developments over the last seven decades and offers a close reading Marvel Comics' 2006 cross-over event, Civil War.
