FROM 'AMBIGUOUSLY GAY DUOS' TO HOMOSEXUAL SUPERHEROES: THE IMPLICATIONS FOR MEDIA FANDOM PRACTICES A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Screen and Media At The University of Waikato By GEMMA CORIN The University of Waikato 2008 Abstract Despite traversing the fine line between homosocial and homosexual (Brooker, 2000) in his controversial text Seduction of the Innocent, Fredric Wertham’s (1954) description of Batman and Robin as a ‘wish dream of two homosexuals living together’ (Lendrum, 2004, p.70) represents one of the first published queer readings of superhero characters. This text can also be interpreted as the commencement of, and subsequent intense interest in the way superhero characters often portray a ‘camp’ sensibility (Medhurst, 1991) representative of a queer performative identity (Butler, 1993). -
Review and Status of Biological Control of Clidemia in Hawaici
REVIEW AND STATUS OF BIOLOGICAL CONTROL OF CLIDEMIA IN HAWAICI Larry M. Nakahara, Robert Me Burkhart, and George Ye Funasaki ABSTRACT Efforts to control clidemia (Clidemia hirta) in Hawai'i with phytophagous insects began in 1952. Several attempts have been made since then to introduce potential biological control agents to reduce the spread of this weed into forest areas, and other control measures have been tried by various groups and agencies. It was not until recently, however, through the enactment of significant legislation and subsequent funding, that explorations and studies were conducted specifically on clidemia insects in Trinidad, West Indies. Fourteen species of insects were evaluated, including Carposina bullata, Mompha bithalama, a midge or cecidomyiid, two Eurytoma species, Piesmopoda sp., and Compsolechia seductella, which feed on the flowers and fruits; Lius poseidon, Antiblemma acclinalis, Druentia sp., prob. inscita, Ategumia matutinalis (formerly Blepharomastix ebulealis but originally thought to be Sylepte matutinalis), Penestes n. sp., and a leaf beetle or chrysomelid, which feed on the leaves; and a long-horned cerambycid beetle, which bores into the stem. Studies indicated that several species were sufficiently host specific to warrant introduction into Hawai'i for the biological control of clidemia. INTRODUCTION In Hawai'i, clidemia or Koster's curse (Clidemia hirta) (Melastomataceae), a fast-growing, hea -seeding, tropical American shrub, has colonized forest clearings, trailsi7 es, and bum sites and intruded into the understories of forests that were formerly free of introduced, or alien, weeds (Wester and Wood 1977). The species has spread rapidly throughout the State and re resents a serious threat to our native forests. -

Don 1 HOST RANGE Major hosts Cocos nucifera (coconut), Hevea brasiliensis (rubber), Theobroma cacao (cocoa) Minor hosts pastures HABITAT Most tropical island forest areas appear to be susceptible to C. hirta invasion regardless of their floristic composition, as long as some form of disturbance affects them. In Hawaii all new instances of C. hirta occur in disturbed areas such as roadsides and landslides and following disturbance by windstorm, pigs, landslides and fire. In the East Usambaras (Tanzania) the shrub is found not only along roadsides but also in many parts of the undisturbed montane forest (Binggeli, 2003). -

This also represents the first record of the genus Liothrips Uzel for this country. A current checklist of the tubuliferan thrips from Iraq is provided. The new records increase the known tubuliferan thrips reported in Iraq to 12 species in 6 genera representing two subfamilies of the family Phlaeothripidae. Diagnostic morphological characters and the geographical distribution of the newly recorded thrips are given. Key words: Thysanoptera, Tubulifera, Liothrips, Tamarix, Iraq Iraq is a country in western Asia. The country The Thysanoptera, with more than 6000 known species, borders Turkey to the north, Iran to the east, Kuwait to is an order of insects distributed throughout the world. This the southeast, Saudi Arabia to the south, Jordan to the order includes nine families for living species belonging to southwest, and Syria to the west (Figure 1).
