There is always a path from our here-and-now to the milieu of a science-fiction story: usually that path simply involves time passing and plausible advances in science and changes in society taking place during that time. There is never a path from our here-and-now to the milieu of a fantasy story: no matter how much you might want to get to the fantasy world, you can't, because magic and supernatural powers do not work in our universe -- you can't get there from here. Succinctly: there's discontinuity between our reality and fantasy; there's continuity between our reality and science fiction. ---------------- ROBERT J. SAWYER, Science Fiction Writer Sci-fi film/series 1. Red Dwarf (Cult series with a typical English humor. Thanks to Lister I use curry powder in cooking. Kryten's knowledge of rules always set me laughing. Ace Rimmer's catchphrase "Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast!" is unforgettable.) 2. Contact 3. I, Robot 4. Alien 5. Star Trek Sci-fi book 1. Contact (I like to be thinking about life in space. This book has made me to think about the future. The book is little different to movie. The machine transported five passengers. They traveled across the galaxy and actually encountered extraterrestrial beings, but they couldn't prove it. In my opinion it is an interesting idea of the author.) 2. Duna 3. 2001: A Space Odyssey 4. Return from the Stars (S. Lem) 5. The Day of the Triffids Fantasy film/series 1. Raiders of the Lost Ark (One of the best movies in history. Maybe for some people it is more an adventure movie than fantasy. There is a mix of everything in the film - specific humor, thrill, action, exaggeration... The scene where Indy shot a sabre warrior is immortal.) 2. Clash of the Titans 3. The Neverending Story 4. Ghostbusters 5. The Lord of the Rings Fantasy book 1. The Lord of the Rings (Tolkien) 2. Harry Pottrer (Rowling) 3. Zaklínač (Sapkowski) 4. Discworld (Pratchett) 5. Riftwar Saga (Feist) I am sorry, but I have not read any of typical fantasy books yet. I have tried several times to read such books but I couldn't. And I have no power to do it now. I do not like this sort of books, because it is a too big impact on my logical brain:) So I like no fantasy book. Sorting of books is based on some Internet discussions of fantasy fans. Úkol č. 3 It is several years since I read a sci-fi book and watched the same movie. So I cannot remember all details. From books I have read and movies I have seen I remember especially Contact. As the first of them I have seen the movie a then I have read the book. This is probably the reason why I prefer the movie to the book. The movie is science fiction drama and very good adaptation of the classic book by Carl Sagan. Reading the book I was under the influence of the movie so I couldn't involve all my imagination. At the beginning of the movie I was fascinated by graphical representation of the universe and by interesting shots of the field of radio telescopes later in the movie. And a leading role of Dr. Ellie Arroway was played by my favorite actress Jodie Foster. The biggest difference which I have remembered is that in book the machine transported five passengers while in the movie Just one. The movie did not avoid some Hollywood moments (taking heart stage), it may be too long for somebody (2.5 hours). But I watched it with thrill to the end. Úkol č. 4 1.

  • How Disney Visual Media Influences Children's Perceptions of Family a Content Analysis an Honors Thesis
    Family on Film: How Disney Visual Media Influences Children's Perceptions of Family A Content Analysis An Honors Thesis (SOC 424) by Alexandra Garman Thesis Advisor Dr. Richard Petts ) c' __ / Ball State University Muncie, Indiana December, 2011 Expected Date of Graduation December 17, 2011 ," I . / ' 1 Abstract The Walt Disney Company has held a decades-long grip on family entertainment through visual media, amusement parks, clothing, toys, and even food. American children, and children throughout the world, are readily exposed to Disney's visual media as often as several times a day through film and television shows. As such, reviewing what this media says and analyzing its potential affects on our society can be beneficial in determining what messages children are receiving regarding values and norms concerning family. Specifically, analyzing family structure can help to provide an outlook for future normative structure. Depicted family interactions may also reflect how realistic families interact, what children expect from their families, and how children may interact with their own families in coming years. This study seeks to analyze various media released in recent years (2006-2011) and how these media portray family structure and interaction. Family appears to be variant in structure, including varied parental figures, as well as occasionally including non-biological figures. However, the family structure still seems, on the whole, to fit or otherwise promote (through inability of variants to do well) the traditional family model ofheterosexual, married biological parents and their offspring. Interestingly, Disney appears to place a great emphasis on fathers. Interactions between family members are relatively balanced, with some families being more positive in interaction and others being more negative.

    Student Research and Creative Works Book Collecting Contest Essays University of Puget Sound Year 2015 The Wonderful World of Whedon: A Collection of Texts Celebrating Joss Whedon and His Works Krista Silva University of Puget Sound, [email protected] This paper is posted at Sound Ideas. http://soundideas.pugetsound.edu/book collecting essays/6 Krista Silva The Wonderful World of Whedon: A Collection of Texts Celebrating Joss Whedon and His Works I am an inhabitant of the Whedonverse. When I say this, I don’t just mean that I am a fan of Joss Whedon. I am sincere. I live and breathe his works, the ever-expanding universe— sometimes funny, sometimes scary, and often heartbreaking—that he has created. A multi- talented writer, director and creator, Joss is responsible for television series such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer , Firefly , Angel , and Dollhouse . In 2012 he collaborated with Drew Goddard, writer for Buffy and Angel , to bring us the satirical horror film The Cabin in the Woods . Most recently he has been integrated into the Marvel cinematic universe as the director of The Avengers franchise, as well as earning a creative credit for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. My love for Joss Whedon began in 1998. I was only eleven years old, and through an incredible moment of happenstance, and a bit of boredom, I turned the television channel to the WB and encountered my first episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer . I was instantly smitten with Buffy Summers. She defied the rules and regulations of my conservative southern upbringing.

  • Holding out for a Hero(Ine): an Examination of the Presentation and Treatment of Female Superheroes in Marvel Movies Robyn Joffe
    Holding Out for a Hero(ine): An Examination of the Presentation and Treatment of Female Superheroes in Marvel Movies Robyn Joffe Abstract Prior to the release of Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018) and Captain Marvel (2019), the way that female characters from the Marvel Comics’ canon were realized onscreen was problematic for several reasons and encumbered by issues rooted in the strong female character trope and its postfeminist origins. A close examination of three Marvel superheroines—Black Widow, Scarlet Witch, and Mystique—reveals that while they initially appear to be positioned as equal to their male teammates, they are consistently burdened with difficulties and challenges that men never have to face. The filmmakers’ focus on these women’s appearance and sex appeal, their double standard for violent women, and their perception of a woman’s role, create a picture of “strong” women that is questionable at best and damaging at worst. Keywords: Marvel, postfeminism, sexualization, infantilization, maternalism Introduction The Marvel Cinematic Universe is a media franchise and shared universe, owned by Marvel Studios and currently consists of twenty feature films, seven television series, one digital series, assorted direct-to-video short films, tie-in comic books, and other mixed media products. It is a shared universe that is actively expanding as more and more properties are slated for release. The X-Men film series, until recently owned by 20th Century Fox, is one of the interconnecting series of films based on specific characters from Marvel Comics. It currently consists of eleven films and two television series, with more to be released this year.

    Working Paper Series SPECIAL ISSUE: REVISITING AUDIENCES: RECEPTION, IDENTITY, TECHNOLOGY Superheroes and Shared Universes: How Fans and Auteurs Are Transforming the Hollywood Blockbuster Edmund Smith University of Otago Abstract: Over the course of the 2000s, the Hollywood blockbuster welcomed the superhero genre into its ranks after these films saw an explosion in popularity. Now, the ability to produce superhero films through an extended transmedia franchise is a coveted prize for major studios. The likes of Sony, 20th Century Fox, and Warner Bros. are locked in competition with the new kid on the block, Marvel, who changed the way Hollywood produces the blockbuster franchise. Drawing upon my previous and current postgraduate work, this essay will discuss fans and authorship in relation to the superhero genre which, I posit, exemplifies the industrial model of the Hollywood blockbuster and the cycle of appropriation and revitalisation that defines it. I will explain how studios like Marvel call upon up-and-coming directorial talent to further legitimise their films in order to appeal to middlebrow expectations through auteur credibility. Such director selection demonstrates: 1) how the contemporary auteur has become commodified within transmedia franchise blockbusters and, 2) how, due to the conflicting creative and commercial interests inherent to the blockbuster, these films are now supported by a form of co-dependent authorship. Related to this, I will also explore how fans function within this industrial context and the effect that their fannish support and promotion of superhero films has had on the latter’s viability as a staple of studio production. ISSN2253-4423 © MFCO Working Paper Series 3 MFCO Working Paper Series 2017 Introduction From the 2000s, through to the present day, the superhero film has seen a titanic increase in popularity, becoming a staple of the mainstream film industry.

  • The Expanded 'Verse
    The Expanded 'Verse: Serialized Transmediality in Firefly/Serenity ............ by Frederick Blichert, BA (Hons.) A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Film Studies Carleton University OTTAWA, Ontario Submitted August 2014 © 2014, Frederick Blichert ii We know now that a text is not a line of words releasing a single "theological" meaning (the "message" of the Author- God) but a multi-dimensional space in which a variety of writings, none of them original, blend and clash. Roland Barthes1 iii ABSTRACT Popular narratives often extend textual content across multiple media platforms, creating transmedia stories. Recent scholarship has stressed the permeability of "the text," suggesting that the framework of a text, made up of paratexts including trailers and DVD extras, must be included in textual analysis. Here, I propose that this notion may be productively coupled with a theory of seriality––we may frame this phenomenon in the filmic terms of a narrative being comprised of transmedia sequels and/or prequels, or in the televisual language of episodes in a series. Through a textual analysis of the multifaceted transmedia narrative Firefly (2002-2003), I argue for a theoretical framework that further destabilizes the traditional text by considering such paratextual works as comic books, web videos, and the feature film Serenity (Joss Whedon, 2005) as narrative continuations within a single metatext that eschews the centrality of any one text over the others in favour of seriality. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to thank Erika Balsom, Malini Guha, André Loiselle, and Charles O'Brien for their notes on various versions, drafts, and proposals of this material, along with Sylvie Jasen and Murray Leeder, who encouraged me to workshop some of these ideas as guest lecturer in their undergraduate courses.

When looking at Ray’s story alongside the story of Tiana as a princess in the franchise itself, I clarify parallels between Disney’s treatment of the insect and Disney’s first black princess. In discovering cases of speciesism specific to the Disney Princess franchise, I make the connection between Disney’s use of speciesism and racism. This conclusion is reached via analysis of the film in question, other films in the Disney oeuvre, articles written about “ The Princess and the Frog’, and papers that define animal studies, speciesism, and anthropocentrism. Understanding that there is animal in the human is significant towards understanding the needs of both humans and animals.

  • The Use of the Works of Joss Whedon
    Compendium2 4.1 (2011): 35-42 Using Joss Whedon in the Composition Classroom ERIN WAGGONER “How did your brain even learn human speech? I’m just so curious.” -Wash, “Objects in Space” Introduction In her conclusion to Faith and Choice in the Works of Joss Whedon, K. Dale Koontz asks the question, “will college come to Buffy?” (187). Several schools offer classes on Buffy the Vampire Slayer as well as Joss Whedon’s works as a whole—one of my own independent study classes included. When I first started teaching English composition, I wasn’t entirely sure how to incorporate Buffy, or any television shows for that matter, into the classroom. I knew, however, that I wanted to use the shows as supplemental in-course “readings.” After some trial and error, I came up with a method for utilizing television shows as texts. When I assigned students texts and essays to read, most seemed uninterested, and that showed in their writing assignments. However, when I used television or other media-related tools, the students’ writing demonstrated increased interest through better responses—because the rhetorical imagery appealed more to students than constant reading. This prompted me to find a way to utilize television as my main text for teaching. With my love of Buffy and all things Whedon, it was only natural that once I figured out how to use television, I would focus my lessons on episodes from Whedon’s shows. What surprised me was the overall positive response my teaching methods received, both from students and colleagues. Using Whedon’s work as a supplemental text in the composition classroom has proven a successful teaching tool.

  • Cinematic Transmedia: a Physiological Look at Engagement with Marvel’S Cinematic Universe
    Running head: CINEMATIC TRANSMEDIA 1 Cinematic Transmedia: A Physiological Look at Engagement with Marvel’s Cinematic Universe as Measured by Brainwaves and Electrodermal Activity Tabitha Cassidy Liberty University CINEMATIC TRANSMEDIA 2 Dedication: This thesis is dedicated to my dog, Shakespeare, who sacrificed many trips to the park, and had to deal with my odd hours at night. Acknowledgements: Thank you to my committee members, Drs. Carey Martin and Stuart Schwartz, for helping me through this process. Special thanks to Dr. Fred Volk for providing me with the necessary equipment to complete my study. Particular thanks again to Dr. Martin for introducing me to the concept of transmedia and working with me through my meanderings. CINEMATIC TRANSMEDIA 3 Abstract This study looks at engagement levels within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) at physiological and neurological levels, and with self-reported measures. One show or movie in each of three categories of Marvel media (a movie, television show, and streaming show) were shown to participants who then had their brainwaves and galvanic skin response recorded to determine whether or not they were engaged with the transmedia aspects of the MCU. Results showed that participants were consistently engaged with the transmedia throughout all three media types, with brainwaves varying only slightly between each content. The Marvel movie, “The Avengers” was most engaging to participants who had their brainwaves and galvanic skin response rates recorded, while participants in a control group consisting of only a survey agreed with the finding that movies in the MCU were the most enjoyable and were able to keep their interest the longest.
