In Praise of Tim Burton
In Praise of Tim Burton By William Woof Spring 1998 Issue of KINEMA IN PRAISE OF TIM BURTON: FINDING THE MASTERPIECE IN MARS ATTACKS ”Science fiction is a literary province I used to visit fairly often; if I now visit it seldom, that isnotbecause my taste has improved but because the province has changed, being now covered with new building estates, in a style I don’t care for. But in the good old days I noticed that whenever critics said anything about it, they betrayed great ignorance.... A great many writers use it for satire; nearly all the most pungent criticism of the American way of life takes this form, and would at once be denounced as un-American if it ventured into any other. C.S. Lewis”(1) Published two years before his death in 1963, Lewis’s comments on critical methods and practices were written in order to highlight the dangers of pigeonholing the entire corpus of a popular genre according to literary prejudices or the presumed practices of its readers. Lewis was acutely aware of the wide literary spectrum covered by science fiction: from mythologizing to hack writing, from eulogies of technology to outright flights of fantasy. But he had also understood those peculiarities of the American naturethat combine a fast-talking entrepreneurship with a productive and industrious ingenuity to create a national character highly prone to deep, xenophobic suspicions of ”alien” ideologies. We may safely assume that had his evaluation been extended to the ”new building estates” of America’s ”golden age” of B-grade SF films of the 1950’s, his analysis would have assimilated not only their tacky, exploitative nature buttheir glorification of technology as well. -

Fest It was defended on 17 April 2013 and approved by Jonathan Arac, PhD, Andrew W. Mellon Professor of English Adam Lowenstein, PhD, Associate Professor of English and Film Studies Philip E. Smith, PhD, Associate Professor of English Terry Smith, PhD, Andrew W. Mellon Professor of Contemporary Art History and Theory Dissertation Director: Jonathan Arac, PhD, Andrew W. Mellon Professor of English ii Copyright © Bradley J. Fest 2013 iii THE APOCALYPSE ARCHIVE: AMERICAN LITERATURE AND THE NUCLEAR BOMB Bradley J. Fest, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2013 This dissertation looks at global nuclear war as a trope that can be traced throughout twentieth century American literature. I argue that despite the non-event of nuclear exchange during the Cold War, the nuclear referent continues to shape American literary expression. Since the early 1990s the nuclear referent has dispersed into a multiplicity of disaster scenarios, producing a “second nuclear age.” If the atomic bomb once introduced the hypothesis “of a total and remainderless destruction of the archive,” today literature’s staged anticipation of catastrophe has become inseparable from the realities of global risk. -
Ted Nelson History of Computing
History of Computing Douglas R. Dechow Daniele C. Struppa Editors Intertwingled The Work and Influence of Ted Nelson History of Computing Founding Editor Martin Campbell-Kelly, University of Warwick, Coventry, UK Series Editor Gerard Alberts, University of Amsterdam, Amsterdam, The Netherlands Advisory Board Jack Copeland, University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand Ulf Hashagen, Deutsches Museum, Munich, Germany John V. Tucker, Swansea University, Swansea, UK Jeffrey R. Yost, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, USA The History of Computing series publishes high-quality books which address the history of computing, with an emphasis on the ‘externalist’ view of this history, more accessible to a wider audience. The series examines content and history from four main quadrants: the history of relevant technologies, the history of the core science, the history of relevant business and economic developments, and the history of computing as it pertains to social history and societal developments. Titles can span a variety of product types, including but not exclusively, themed volumes, biographies, ‘profi le’ books (with brief biographies of a number of key people), expansions of workshop proceedings, general readers, scholarly expositions, titles used as ancillary textbooks, revivals and new editions of previous worthy titles. These books will appeal, varyingly, to academics and students in computer science, history, mathematics, business and technology studies. Some titles will also directly appeal to professionals and practitioners -
Comedians, Characters, Cable Guys & Copyright Convolutions
Legal Lessons in On-Stage Character Development: Comedians, Characters, Cable Guys & Copyright Convolutions Clay Calvert⊗ ABSTRACT This article addresses the trials and tribulations faced by stand-up comedians who seek copyright protection for on-stage characters they create, often during solo performances. The article initially explores the current, confused state of the law surrounding the copyrightability of fictional characters. The doctrinal muddle is magnified for comedians because the case law that addresses the fictional character facet of copyright jurisprudence overwhelmingly involves characters developed within the broader framework of plots and storylines found in traditional media artifacts such as books, comic strips, cartoons and movies. The article then deploys the 2014 federal court ruling in Azaria v. Bierko as a timely analytical springboard for addressing comedic-character copyright issues. Finally, the article offers multiple tips and suggestions for comedians and actors seeking copyright protection in their on- stage characters. I. INTRODUCTION The Whacky World of Jonathan Winters aired on television from 1972 through 1974.1 The humor of its star, Jonathan Winters,2 came primarily “from his construction of outrageously fantastic situations and characters.”3 Those characters included the Oldest Airline Stewardess4 and, perhaps most notably, ⊗ Professor & Brechner Eminent Scholar in Mass Communication and Director of the Marion B.

The author thanks students Kevin Bruckenstein, Karilla Dyer, Alexa Jacobson, Tershone Phillips and Brock Seng of the University of Florida for their research, suggestions and editing assistance that contributed to this article. -
