"It was reckless." "You're nuts. It was nothing." "You were foolhardy, and I expect better of you." "Yeah, well, I guess that makes you the sucker, then," Jason snipes. He's getting better at this kind of argument. When he was a kid, his parents would scream and swear and slam doors at each other and then be fine within the half-hour. With Bruce, it's a simmer. A big pot full of all kinds of crap and the heat's always, always on. It isn't like he's murdered a bus full of nuns and orphans, either. Just waited a fraction of a second (or maybe, yeah, a half-dozen fractions of a second) longer than he really needed to before clasping the cord properly in a swing. Who wouldn't do that? "I only expect what I know you to be capable of." Bruce is back in civilian clothes now, looking like there's nothing out of the ordinary about him even in the middle of the cave. It's like he gives off an aura of utter normalcy, canceling out anything odd in the situation around him. Jason wonders briefly how a guy ends up learning how to do that. "And what's that supposed to mean, exactly?" Jason, however, is still in full uniform. He always takes as long as he can before changing, especially on Saturday nights. It's the worst and best time of the week: best, because he is Robin for the second night running, his peak of adrenaline and fierce contentment. Worst because it'll be a whole week's worth of boring, blank nights before he'll be back out and playing again. Bruce sighs and scrubs at his face with his palms. Jason's gonna have to remember to actually call the number he keeps tucked in his wallet and ask Dick if Bruce always did that face-scrubbing motion or if it's one of those new things, like double-checking first aid kits and the 'no rock music after six pm' rule. "Nothing, Jason. Get some sleep." It's better when Bruce looks like he wants to slap him or shake him or something. When all the fight goes out of him, Jason's got no choice but to walk off and get changed into something that isn't the Robin suit and lie on his bed and pretend to sleep for a while. It's frustrating and makes Jason feel almost queasy, a roiling in his gut that makes him want to punch something or drive fast along a long, empty road. After enough time's passed, he goes to the kitchen and makes himself a couple of salami sandwiches. Jason really likes the sort that they get; it's kinda spicy, and he's glad that Bruce or Alfred or whoever obviously likes it too. There's always tons in the fridge when he sneaks down to swipe snacks. When he's eaten, Jason borrows the motorcycle and heads back into the city center. He realizes five minutes after he's left the manor grounds that he's also left his helmet, but the wind feels almost as good as it did up in the air before he grabbed onto the cord and so he doesn't mind so much. There's always a bunch of kids hanging out on the stairs near City Hall, chatting and smoking and watching the crowds along the sidewalks. Jason bums a smoke off one and a light off another, his clothes dusty enough from travel to look like they're not ridiculously expensive. Some guy from a shelter comes by and offers everybody coffee and soup, but Jason's not really hungry and he's already feeling kinda strung out and jittery even without caffeine. It's been a while since he slept. One of the kids, a boy about Jason's own age, has a beat-up guitar and a grotty old hat for people to throw coins in. Jason makes some lame joke and the boy grins. Jason gives him the remaining third of the cigarette and some spare change and then, with a wide yawn, Jason heads for home. It's kinda tacky. Even hookers most likely have more subtle opening lines. "Watch where you're walking, dipshit," Blake Stevenson says, his elbow connecting hard with Jason's rib as they pass each other in the corridor, and that's that. Six minutes later they're the center of a ring of guys from their class, out behind the trees past the home-ec block. The school's got all kinds of rules about what the students aren't allowed to do in uniform, and fistfights fall somewhere between smoking and playing arcade games, so there's somebody standing guard in case a teacher comes by. Blake's knuckle makes contact with Jason's lower lip, making the skin split and making Jason's laugh sound harsh and raw. Blake's left ear is already looking all puffy and red-purple and they've both lost a couple of buttons. "Dipshit," Blake says again, and Jason thinks for the first time about what that word might actually mean. He laughs and punches Blake in the stomach, hard. After a while Blake starts to get sloppy and Jason knocks him down pretty quickly. There's no fun in fighting someone who's not really up to it. One of Blake's friends takes him off to see a doctor or something. Jason wipes at his bloodied chin with the back of his hand and wonders if he can put the buttons back on well enough to fool Bruce. Probably no chance in hell of that. "You just cost me my ride home," somebody says. It's Blake's sister, Abigail, with her glossy black bob and her dark, dark eyes, leaning against on of the trees. "Now Blake'll take off without remembering me. So what're you gonna do about it?" "I get picked up at three forty. I'll give you a lift home," offers Jason. He hopes it's the Bentley today. That is one damn cool car, and he bets it's just the kind that somebody like Gail Stevenson would be impressed by. Abigail raises one sleek eyebrow. "That gives us more than twenty minutes." The trees are just as good for shielding this as they were for blocking the fight from view. Abigail's straddling his lap on the mulchy ground and she's sucking at the split on his lip like she's a vampire or something. He tries to work the buttons on the blouse of her uniform and she swats his hands out of the way and pulls it open sharply. The little white buttons scatter across the damp leaves, mixing in with those from Blake and Jason's shirts. "Nothing," she says, voice hot and damp against his mouth. "Nothing below the waist. My parents check." "Mmm-hmm," Jason nods, moves in closer. Then, "What the fuck?" he pulls back. "They check?" "Every six months. Gyno does a hymen check. It's a clause in my trust fund." "That's psycho." Abigail shrugs and nods. "Yeah. So nothing up the skirt, right? And I mean nothing. I'm not taking any chances on a brat like you, Todd." Jason hmms agreement and trails his mouth down along one strap of her powder-blue bra. They're both gonna have to wear their blazers to cover the mess they've made of their uniforms, and then burn the evidence or something before anybody sees. Abigail nips and sucks at the point where his throat and collarbone meet, and Jason thinks that she's probably got a vampire fetish or something. She seems really into him, too. Maybe he gives off a vibe that says he looks good in a cape. When the twenty minutes is gone, Abigail does that weird thing some girls can do where they manage to neaten up really well without a mirror or water or a comb or anything, and Jason does his best to look like he hasn't spent the time since classes ended getting messed up by the Stevenson twins. It's not a particularly convincing performance, but at least he's not actually bleeding anymore. The car sent is the Bentley, and Jason thanks whatever power's looking out for him.

  • Myth, Metatext, Continuity and Cataclysm in Dc Comics’ Crisis on Infinite Earths
    WORLDS WILL LIVE, WORLDS WILL DIE: MYTH, METATEXT, CONTINUITY AND CATACLYSM IN DC COMICS’ CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS Adam C. Murdough A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2006 Committee: Angela Nelson, Advisor Marilyn Motz Jeremy Wallach ii ABSTRACT Angela Nelson, Advisor In 1985-86, DC Comics launched an extensive campaign to revamp and revise its most important superhero characters for a new era. In many cases, this involved streamlining, retouching, or completely overhauling the characters’ fictional back-stories, while similarly renovating the shared fictional context in which their adventures take place, “the DC Universe.” To accomplish this act of revisionist history, DC resorted to a text-based performative gesture, Crisis on Infinite Earths. This thesis analyzes the impact of this singular text and the phenomena it inspired on the comic-book industry and the DC Comics fan community. The first chapter explains the nature and importance of the convention of “continuity” (i.e., intertextual diegetic storytelling, unfolding progressively over time) in superhero comics, identifying superhero fans’ attachment to continuity as a source of reading pleasure and cultural expressivity as the key factor informing the creation of the Crisis on Infinite Earths text. The second chapter consists of an eschatological reading of the text itself, in which it is argued that Crisis on Infinite Earths combines self-reflexive metafiction with the ideologically inflected symbolic language of apocalypse myth to provide DC Comics fans with a textual "rite of transition," to win their acceptance for DC’s mid-1980s project of self- rehistoricization and renewal.

  • The Language of Narrative Drawing: a Close Reading of Contemporary Graphic Novels
    The Language of Narrative Drawing: a close reading of contemporary graphic novels Abstract: The study offers an alternative analytical framework for thinking about the contemporary graphic novel as a dynamic area of visual art practice. Graphic narratives are placed within the broad, open-ended territory of investigative drawing, rather than restricted to a special category of literature, as is more usually the case. The analysis considers how narrative ideas and energies are carried across specific examples of work graphically. Using analogies taken from recent academic debate around translation, aspects of Performance Studies, and, finally, common categories borrowed from linguistic grammar, the discussion identifies subtle varieties of creative processing within a range of drawn stories. The study is practice-based in that the questions that it investigates were first provoked by the activity of drawing. It sustains a dominant interest in practice throughout, pursuing aspects of graphic processing as its primary focus. Chapter 1 applies recent ideas from Translation Studies to graphic narrative, arguing for a more expansive understanding of how process brings about creative evolutions and refines directing ideas. Chapter 2 considers the body as an area of core content for narrative drawing. A consideration of elements of Performance Studies stimulates a reconfiguration of the role of the figure in graphic stories, and selected artists are revisited for the physical qualities of their narrative strategies. Chapter 3 develops the grammatical concept of tense to provide a central analogy for analysing graphic language. The chapter adapts the idea of the graphic „confection‟ to the territory of drawing to offer a fresh system of analysis and a potential new tool for teaching.

  • Whose History and by Whom: an Analysis of the History of Taiwan In
    WHOSE HISTORY AND BY WHOM: AN ANALYSIS OF THE HISTORY OF TAIWAN IN CHILDREN’S LITERATURE PUBLISHED IN THE POSTWAR ERA by LIN-MIAO LU (Under the Direction of Joel Taxel) ABSTRACT Guided by the tenet of sociology of school knowledge, this study examines 38 Taiwanese children’s trade books that share an overarching theme of the history of Taiwan published after World War II to uncover whether the seemingly innocent texts for children convey particular messages, perspectives, and ideologies selected, preserved, and perpetuated by particular groups of people at specific historical time periods. By adopting the concept of selective tradition and theories of ideology and hegemony along with the analytic strategies of constant comparative analysis and iconography, the written texts and visual images of the children’s literature are relationally analyzed to determine what aspects of the history and whose ideologies and perspectives were selected (or neglected) and distributed in the literary format. Central to this analysis is the investigation and analysis of the interrelations between literary content and the issue of power. Closely related to the discussion of ideological peculiarities, historians’ research on the development of Taiwanese historiography also is considered in order to examine and analyze whether the literary products fall into two paradigms: the Chinese-centric paradigm (Chinese-centricism) and the Taiwanese-centric paradigm (Taiwanese-centricism). Analysis suggests a power-and-knowledge nexus that reflects contemporary ruling groups’ control in the domain of children’s narratives in which subordinate groups’ perspectives are minimalized, whereas powerful groups’ assumptions and beliefs prevail and are perpetuated as legitimized knowledge in society.

Although people are getting married later in life, divorce rates remain at or near an all-time high. Koch specified the process for making Sam Adams Boston Lager, which combined aspects of nineteenth-century brewing with twentieth-century methods of quality control. The trading-up phenomenon already affects almost every category of goods—including consumables and durables—and services. China has emerged as a key player in that network. An outsider mentality allows one to see the category without the baggage of preconceptions and to avoid making what others view as inevitable compromises. Like the consumers of their goods, entrepreneurs are better educated, more sophisticated, and more knowledgeable about their customers than ever before, and they are less willing to create ordinary goods or lead dull business lives.

  • What Superman Teaches Us About the American Dream and Changing Values Within the United States
    TRUTH, JUSTICE, AND THE AMERICAN WAY: WHAT SUPERMAN TEACHES US ABOUT THE AMERICAN DREAM AND CHANGING VALUES WITHIN THE UNITED STATES Lauren N. Karp AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Lauren N. Karp for the degree of Master of Arts in English presented on June 4, 2009 . Title: Truth, Justice, and the American Way: What Superman Teaches Us about the American Dream and Changing Values within the United States Abstract approved: ____________________________________________________________________ Evan Gottlieb This thesis is a study of the changes in the cultural definition of the American Dream. I have chosen to use Superman comics, from 1938 to the present day, as litmus tests for how we have societally interpreted our ideas of “success” and the “American Way.” This work is primarily a study in culture and social changes, using close reading of comic books to supply evidence. I argue that we can find three distinct periods where the definition of the American Dream has changed significantly—and the identity of Superman with it. I also hypothesize that we are entering an era with an entirely new definition of the American Dream, and thus Superman must similarly change to meet this new definition.
