Dressing in American Telefantasy
Volume 5, Issue 2 September 2012 Stripping the Body in Contemporary Popular Media: the value of (un)dressing in American Telefantasy MANJREE KHAJANCHI, Independent Researcher ABSTRACT Research perspectives on identity and the relationship between dress and body have been frequently studied in recent years (Eicher and Roach-Higgins, 1992; Roach-Higgins and Eicher, 1992; Entwistle, 2003; Svendsen, 2006). This paper will make use of specific and detailed examples from the television programmes Once Upon a Time (2011- ), Falling Skies (2011- ), Fringe (2008- ) and Game of Thrones (2011- ) to discover the importance of dressing and accessorizing characters to create humanistic identities in Science Fiction and Fantastical universes. These shows are prime case studies of how the literal dressing and undressing of the body, as well as the aesthetic creation of television worlds (using dress as metaphor), influence perceptions of personhood within popular media programming. These four shows will be used to examine three themes in this paper: (1) dress and identity, (2) body and world transformations, and (3) (non-)humanness. The methodological framework of this article draws upon existing academic literature on dress and society, combined with textual analysis of the aforementioned Telefantasy shows, focussing primarily on the three themes previously mentioned. This article reveals the role transformations of the body and/or the world play in American Telefantasy, and also investigates how human and near-human characters and settings are fashioned. This will invariably raise questions about what it means to be human, what constitutes belonging to society, and the connection that dress has to both of these concepts. KEYWORDS Aesthetics, Body, Dress, Falling Skies, Fringe, Game of Thrones, Identity, Once Upon a Time, Telefantasy. -

Stronghold Cities. Dystopian Fears in Utopian Asylums in Audiovisual Narratives
The Polish Journal of the Arts and Culture. New Series7 (1/2018): 77–94 [article] DOI: 10.4467/24506249PJ.18.004.9778 Stronghold Cities. Dystopian Fears in Utopian Asylums in Audiovisual Narratives Ksenia Olkusz Abstract In the past few years there has been a growing interest in depicting permanently sieged strongholds, secluded last stands, or quarantined asylums within a post-apocalyptic world so as to strengthen the sense of the ultimate isolation and disconnection from the desolated world outside. The majority of those narratives share a similar world-model, featuring an over-crowded, fortified refuge and its ruler turning auto- pian sanctuary into a dystopian confinement. This means that the soci- ety in such a world faces two actual threats: one imminent, be it a zom- bie apocalypse, bands of scavengers, or epidemic that forces people to take refuge – and the other one, concealed, which reveals itself when everything seems to be under control. Keywords: dystopia, game, movie, narrative, utopia Ksenia Olkusz is a literary historian, critic, and theorist; she is as- sistant professor at the head of Facta Ficta Research Centre in Kraków as well as editor-in-chief of open access Facta Ficta Journal (factaficta- journal.com); she has authored books Współczesność w zwierciadle hor- roru.
