  • A História Oculta Das Mulheres-Maravilha De Bana-Mighdall: Um Estudo De África E Gênero
    A História Oculta das Mulheres-Maravilha de Bana-Mighdall: Um estudo de África e Gênero Savio Queiroz Lima1 Introdução A Mulher-Maravilha tem sido personagem feminina da mitologia do super-herói mais usada como sujeito em trabalhos acadêmicos fora e dentro do Brasil. Não é de se estranhar tal tendência, já que trata-se da mais bem sucedida personagem na mídia e a que obteve mais destaque dentre seus pares. Nem de longe foi a primeira super-heroína nas histórias em quadrinhos, mas certamente a que obteve um trilhar mais elaborado e carregado de informações2. A personagem fundou até mesmo um estilo arquetípico de personagem feminina, bastante copiado, transitando entre performances similares aos seus irmãos super-heróis masculinos, mas com elementos e práticas singulares às representações femininas das marés históricas de sua vivência. Inclusive foram as relações entre os discursos das personagens e de suas vilãs, igualmente mulheres autônomas, ou mesmo de outras personagens coadjuvantes em sua mitologia tão extensa, que lhes conferiu singularidade dentro dos escopos de discursos nessa mídia específica e na chamada superaventura3. Trata-se de mais uma franca abordagem que faço sobre a personagem e compartilho com meus pares acadêmicos, dialogando sempre com pesquisadores específicos do objeto- fonte que são as histórias em quadrinhos e fazendo experimentações com teorias e métodos da historiografia contemporânea e instrumentos de outros campos do conhecimento. Ainda que exista um foco aqui bem preciso, que são os discursos feministas em dois polos diferenciados, faz-se útil debruçar-se sobre termos e conceitos usados nas pesquisas sobre representações nas histórias em quadrinhos.

There are several quite long series from this source, retaining the alphabetical order in which they were arranged, Nos. 215-312, 403-423, 541- 562. It is correspondingly poor in poems from Meleager s Stephanus (Nos. 313-338). It contains a good deal of the Alexandrian Palladas, a contemporary of Hypatia, most of wliich we could well dispense with. The latter part, from No. 582 07iwards, consists mostly of real or pretended in- scriptions on works of art or buildings, many quite unworthy of preservation, but some, especially those on baths, quite graceful. The last three epigrams, written in a later hand, do not belong to the original Anthology.

View Slide Show Zanbabe Trust: 3122 Mythology Supervisor Answer: Google Profile » The definition of the term immortality in comics may be debatable. For instance, some immortals Recommend Supervisor » seem to have died at least once but often reappear momentarily in a new revitalized incarnation; especially common amongst mythological characters (gods, goddesses, angels, demons, etc.). Deities, in fact, tend to be consistently immortal and are completely resistant to death and deterioration (e.g., Marvel Comics' Thor, Greek Gods, etc.). These beings are both functionally immortal and invulnerable and merely give the appearance of being slain for a temporary time before rematerializing.
