  • Superhuman, Transhuman, Post/Human: Mapping the Production and Reception of the Posthuman Body
    Superhuman, Transhuman, Post/Human: Mapping the Production and Reception of the Posthuman Body Scott Jeffery Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Applied Social Science, University of Stirling, Scotland, UK September 2013 Declaration I declare that none of the work contained within this thesis has been submitted for any other degree at any other university. The contents found within this thesis have been composed by the candidate Scott Jeffery. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Thank you, first of all, to my supervisors Dr Ian McIntosh and Dr Sharon Wright for their support and patience. To my brother, for allowing to me to turn several of his kitchens into offices. And to R and R. For everything. ABSTRACT The figure of the cyborg, or more latterly, the posthuman body has been an increasingly familiar presence in a number of academic disciplines. The majority of such studies have focused on popular culture, particularly the depiction of the posthuman in science-fiction, fantasy and horror. To date however, few studies have focused on the posthuman and the comic book superhero, despite their evident corporeality, and none have questioned comics’ readers about their responses to the posthuman body. This thesis presents a cultural history of the posthuman body in superhero comics along with the findings from twenty-five, two-hour interviews with readers. By way of literature reviews this thesis first provides a new typography of the posthuman, presenting it not as a stable bounded subject but as what Deleuze and Guattari (1987) describe as a ‘rhizome’. Within the rhizome of the posthuman body are several discursive plateaus that this thesis names Superhumanism (the representation of posthuman bodies in popular culture), Post/Humanism (a critical-theoretical stance that questions the assumptions of Humanism) and Transhumanism (the philosophy and practice of human enhancement with technology).

  • Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Wild Worlds by Alan Moore on Alan Moore’S Wildc.A.T.S
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Wild Worlds by Alan Moore On Alan Moore’s WildC.A.T.s. Alan Moore doesn’t even slum it like the rest of us do. Though some would regard the very thought as heresy, Moore has proven himself able, if not ecstatic, to churn out the scripts when necessity demands. It’d take an exceptionally generous heart to argue that his mid-nineties work for Image Comics’ WildC.A.T.s , for example, was consistently very much more than old rope. The dialogue’s often undercooked when not actively hackneyed, the plots so loose that the reader could imagine Moore scribbling out first draft one after another following weeks of sleepless nights communing with serpent-headed gods. In places, we can even see Moore lazily hanging his stories on the clichés of his own career, as if he were pastiching the very idea of being Alan Moore , or, more probably, pillorying those writers who’d regurgitated his influence in a shallow, sensationalist fashion. It was, according to the man himself as quoted in Gary Spencer Millidge’s Alan Moore: Storyteller , the result of the Bard of Northampton attempting and failing to gauge what the audience for Image books wanted. “I must have somehow misplaced my arrogance.” Millidge quotes him as saying. Nevertheless, it’s hard to believe that Moore was in any way intensely committed to the super-books he produced for Image. A loss of faith and direction notwithstanding, the period saw Moore delivering work which, while superior to just about everything else in the superhero market, simply didn’t reflect the extraordinarily high standards his work had previously regularly attained.
