  • Selling Marvel's Cinematic Superheroes
    Stream: Culture/Politics/Technology 2016, Vol 8(2), 23-35 © The Author(s), 2016 http://journals.sfu.ca/stream Selling Marvel’s Cinematic Superheroes through Militarization Brett Pardy School of Communication Simon Fraser University Abstract The Marvel comics film adaptations have been some of the most successful Hollywood products of the post 9/11 period, bringing formerly obscure cultural texts into the mainstream. Through an analysis of the adaptation process of Marvel Entertainment’s superhero franchise from comics to film, I argue that militarization has been used by Hollywood as a discursive formation with which to transform niche properties into mass market products. I consider the locations of narrative ambiguities in two key comics texts, The Ultimates (2002-2007) and The New Avengers (2005-2012), as well as in the film The Avengers (2011), and demonstrate the significant reorientation towards the military of the film franchise. While Marvel had attempted to produce film adaptations for decades, only under the new “militainment” discursive formation was it finally successful. I argue that superheroes are malleable icons, known largely by the public by their image and perhaps general character traits rather than their narratives. Militainment is introduced through a discourse of realism provided by Marvel Studios as an indicator that the property is not just for children. Keywords: militarization, popular film, comic books, adaptation 1. Introduction Nick Fury, head of the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division (S.H.I.E.L.D) tells his team of assembled superheroes: “there was an idea… called the Avengers Initiative. The idea was to bring together a group of remarkable people, see if they could become something more.

Produktive Psychopathen Inszenierungen von Selbstoptimierung in amerikanischen Fernsehserien Abstract: Psychische Krankheiten in Fernsehserien der letzten 15 Jahre sind häufig hochfunktional: Sie verleihen den Figuren spezielle Begabungen, mit deren Hilfe sie Konflikte effizienter lösen als ihr Umfeld. Dieser Beitrag untersucht anhand von drei exemplarischen Serien – Dexter, Mr. Robot und Homeland –, welche gesellschaftlichen Vorstellungen sich in dieser positiven Konnotation spie- geln. Die Analyse stellt dabei den Begriff der „Produktivität“ in den Fokus. Ausgehend von Thomas Elsaessers Überlegungen zu mindgame movies und produktiven Pathologien analysiert der Aufsatz die ästhetische Produktivität der psychischen Krankheit. Darüber hinaus lassen sich die Darstellungen im Sinne einer Selbstoptimierung als symptomatisch für eine zeitgenössische Leistungsgesellschaft lesen.

    SOCIOLOGY 2021 | Chapter Showcase LEXINGTON BOOKS An Imprint of Rowman & Littlefield LEXINGTON BOOKS CHAPTER SHOWCASE FROM THE EDITOR Over the past year, humankind has been forced into a new normal. This new normal has further oppressed people of color and women, and has reshaped families, education, healthcare, the economy, and the workforce. We also live in a polarized society in which truth and facts are distorted. We’re tackling these new challenges while reckoning with our racist past and present as well as our warming planet. Now, more than ever, sociology provides a crucial space for examining our communities and societies during these tumultuous times. The Lexington Books sociology titles, written by an array of diverse scholars, investigate and scrutinize our social world while simultaneously creating a sense of solidarity that we so desperately need. These selected chapters explore gender, work, and childcare; minority social movements; the impact of natural disasters on social inequality; sexuality and aging; and symbolic interaction in popular culture—all topics that affect and unite each of us. I invite you to publish your next scholarly book with Lexington Books. We publish monographs, edited collections, revised dissertations, and ethnographies by emerging and established scholars, including interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary works.
