Environmental Cultures. Bloomsbury Collections. Web. 25 Sep. 2021. <http:// dx.doi.org/10.5040/9781474219730.ch-007>.

The figure of the “metahuman,” the human with superpowers and purpose, embodies the transfigured nerd whose defects—intellect, swarm-behavior, abnormality, flux, and love of machines—become virtues of survival in the twenty-first century. The conflict among capitalism, fascism, and communism, which drove the Cold War and its immediate aftermath, also drove the Golden and Silver Ages of Comics. In the era of planetary emergency, these forces reconfigure themselves as different versions of world-destruction. The metahuman also signifies going “beyond” these economic and political systems into orders that preserve democracy without destroying the biosphere. Therefore, the styles of metahuman figuration represent an appeal to tradition and a technique of transformation. I call these strategies the iconic style and metamorphic style. The iconic style, more typical of DC Comics, makes the hero an icon of virtue, and metahuman powers manifest as visible signs: the “S” of Superman, the tiara and golden lasso of Wonder Woman.

  • By Jennifer M. Fogel a Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy
    A MODERN FAMILY: THE PERFORMANCE OF “FAMILY” AND FAMILIALISM IN CONTEMPORARY TELEVISION SERIES by Jennifer M. Fogel A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Communication) in The University of Michigan 2012 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Amanda D. Lotz, Chair Professor Susan J. Douglas Professor Regina Morantz-Sanchez Associate Professor Bambi L. Haggins, Arizona State University © Jennifer M. Fogel 2012 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I owe my deepest gratitude to the members of my dissertation committee – Dr. Susan J. Douglas, Dr. Bambi L. Haggins, and Dr. Regina Morantz-Sanchez, who each contributed their time, expertise, encouragement, and comments throughout this entire process. These women who have mentored and guided me for a number of years have my utmost respect for the work they continue to contribute to our field. I owe my deepest gratitude to my advisor Dr. Amanda D. Lotz, who patiently refused to accept anything but my best work, motivated me to be a better teacher and academic, praised my successes, and will forever remain a friend and mentor. Without her constructive criticism, brainstorming sessions, and matching appreciation for good television, I would have been lost to the wolves of academia. One does not make a journey like this alone, and it would be remiss of me not to express my humble thanks to my parents and sister, without whom seven long and lonely years would not have passed by so quickly. They were both my inspiration and staunchest supporters. Without their tireless encouragement, laughter, and nurturing this dissertation would not have been possible.

This study is the third annual study of diversity of characters in prime time television programming. The study examined the first two episodes of each prime time entertainment series airing on the six broadcast networks. The findings indicate that despite ongoing emphasis, encouragement, and pressure on the part of media advocates, civil rights groups, government officials, and even some entertainment industry leaders, the networks have yet to produce a prime time

It‟s for fun. Can‟t you just have fun for an hour and not try to diagnose your mystery boil? We think you‟ve earned it. Just sit back, relax and enjoy a moment of distraction from that weird growth. You‟re worth it. [theme music plays] Justin: Hello everybody, and welcome to Sawbones: a marital tour of misguided medicine. I‟m your cohost, Justin McElroy. Sydnee: And I‟m Sydnee McElroy. Justin: And Sydnee, you wanted to open this week‟s episode talking about animated films. Is that correct? Sydnee: I wanted to, or you wanted to? Justin: You wanted to, you said, “I got a lot to say about these.” Sydnee: I don‟t. Justin: “No one reached out to me about my opinions on watching animated movies.” Sydnee: [laughs] Justin: And you just wanted to really put everybody on blast. Is that how I understand it? Sydnee: No, that is not accurate whatsoever. Justin: You don‟t wanna talk about animated movies. Sydnee: I just— okay. I don‟t, but now you have put me in this position, so now I am forced to. Last week, of course, we reviewed Osmosis Jones, and I would like to— Justin: [snorts] “Reviewed” is quite a choice. Sydnee: Evaluated, explored Osmosis Jones. And I would like to say that my statement that I didn‟t know who this movie was for is not based on a belief that I don‟t think adults should or can or would benefit from watching animated movies at all.

María José Álvarez Faedo VºBº: Oviedo, 2012 To comic book creators of yesterday, today and tomorrow. The comics medium is a very specialized area of the Arts, home to many rare and talented blooms and flowering imaginations and it breaks my heart to see so many of our best and brightest bowing down to the same market pressures which drive lowest-common-denominator blockbuster movies and television cop shows. Let's see if we can call time on this trend by demanding and creating big, wild comics which stretch our imaginations. Let's make living breathing, sprawling adventures filled with mind-blowing images of things unseen on Earth. Let's make artefacts that are not faux-games or movies but something other, something so rare and strange it might as well be a window into another universe because that's what it is.

  • Reverberações Do Noir Nas Gns E No Cinema Atual: Dark Cities
    TRANS/RE/CRIAÇÕES DO ESTILO NOIR: DAS PÁGINAS PARA AS TELAS Denise Azevedo Duarte Guimarães1 Introdução Este artigo propõe reflexões sobre as múltiplas possibilidades de elaboração simbólica do espaço urbano, no âmbito das narrativas ficcionais, com ênfase em seus agenciamentos sígnicos e nos regimes visuais que efetivam seus modos de presença na mídia impressa e audiovisual. As recentes configurações imagéticas das metrópoles des/re/veladas nas páginas e nas telas constituem uma tendência que vai muito além do que era sazonal - em termos de desenhos animados e similares, destinados a platéias infanto-juvenis -; o que vem atraindo diversificados segmentos de público para as salas de cinema e movimentando um rico filão da indústria do entretenimento. Um exemplo relevante são as edições Marvel Noir: várias séries publicadas recentemente e que apresentam as aventuras dos heróis e super-heróis reinterpretadas de acordo com pressupostos estéticos do estilo noir. Com suas sinistras cidades imersas nas sombras, tais narrativas apresentam ostensivas reverberações dos filmes noir, que tiveram seu apogeu entre 1940 e 1960. Minha abordagem deste recente fenômeno transmidiático centra-se na observação de como as narrativas sequenciais ligadas ao universo de um tipo de quadrinhos, as graphic novels, tendem a marcar sua presença num nicho expressivo da indústria cinematográfica atual. Devido à expansão das adaptações fílmicas das GNs, o clima de mistério e inquietação em espaços urbanos noturnos e violentos, parece ter tomado de assalto as telas contemporâneas. Como um marcante estilo de época, bastante próximo da estética do cinema expressionista alemão, que lhe é anterior, a cinematografia noir tem sido continuamente revisitada por cineastas da atualidade.
