It argues that this connection was not integral to the character as he was originally created, but was imposed by later writers over time and mainly for cinematic adaptations. This thesis also tracks the history of how Christians and churches viewed Superman, as the film studios began to exploit marketing opportunities by comparing Superman and Jesus. This thesis uses the methodological framework of intertextuality to ground its treatment of the sources, but does not follow all of the assumptions of intertextual theorists. iii MA Thesis—Robert Revington; McMaster University, Religious Studies ABSTRACT This thesis examines the historical trajectory of how the comic book character of Superman came to be identified as a Christ figure in popular consciousness. Superman was created in 1938, but the character developed significantly from his earliest incarnations.

  • Biblical Interpretation in the Age of Superheroes by Nicholaus Pumphrey
    Biblical Interpretation in the Age of Superheroes By Nicholaus Pumphrey In 1938 Superman literally jumped off the pages of a comic book and into American culture. The world’s strongest and soon to be most famous superhero was created within the context of a nation suffering from the Great Depression and on the verge of entering a global war. How does this super-being impact American culture and does he influence how we read the Bible? Action Comics No. 1, 1938. Within five years, over 70 million people would be reading comic books about Superman or related to him. Superman’s debut in Action Comics #1 was followed by his appearance on radio, in cartoons, and eventually in movies and on television. While comic books have had ups and downs in sales, the superhero related medium has had an undeniable influence on Americans, child and adult alike. The concept of hero has shifted from a larger-than-life, flawed demi-god to a sci-fi, costumed character that can do no wrong. But biblical undertones remain inescapable. Scholars often point to his creators, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, and their Jewish background as a sign that the Bible directly influenced Superman’s creation, and then influenced the readers. Superman’s origin narrative depicts parents of a dying civilization sending their child in a spaceship (a futuristic reed basket) only to grow up and become a savior of another world. The child is also uniquely strong and only stoppable by a single weakness. Siegel himself noted that Samson and other biblical figures played a prominent role in Superman’s development.

  • Haggadah: Why Is This Book Different? January 21, 2014 - March 18, 2014 Smathers Library Gallery, 2Nd Floor Curated by Rebecca Jefferson
    Haggadah: why is this book different? January 21, 2014 - March 18, 2014 Smathers Library Gallery, 2nd Floor Curated by Rebecca Jefferson Haggadah: Why is This Book Different? tells the story of how a Jewish text compiled in antiquity was adapted and reproduced over time and around the world. Featuring rare and scarce Haggadot (plural) from the Isser and Rae Price Library of Judaica, this exhibition shows the many ways in which the core Haggadah text, with its Passover rituals, blessings, prayers and Exodus narrative, was supplemented by songs, commentary and rich illuminations to reflect and respond to each unique period and circumstance in which the Jewish diaspora found itself. Outstanding and unusual examples are included, such as a sumptuous facsimile of the Barcelona Haggadah from the 14th century, a 1918 Haggadah from Odessa, Ukraine, the last Haggadah produced before Soviet censorship, and a Haggadah recently produced by the Jewish community of Jacksonville in remembrance of the Holocaust. This exhibition charts the development of a fascinating text over 600 years and encourages you to compare the ways in which older copies of the Haggadah were illuminated in contrast with more recent artistic interpretations. It invites you to observe how the Exodus story with its essential message about freedom is interpreted in light of contemporary events and to notice the many ways in which the text is adapted to suit the audience and preserve its relevance. What is this book? During the first two nights of Passover, a ceremonial dinner and ritual service, known as a Seder, is conducted in Jewish homes around the world.

    ‘Yes, But What Have You Done for Me Lately?’: Intersections of Intellectual Property, Work-for-Hire, and The Struggle of the Creative Precariat in the American Comic Book Industry © 2019 By Ora Charles McWilliams Submitted to the graduate degree program in American Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Co-Chair: Ben Chappell Co-Chair: Elizabeth Esch Henry Bial Germaine Halegoua Joo Ok Kim Date Defended: 10 May, 2019 ii The dissertation committee for Ora Charles McWilliams certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: ‘Yes, But What Have You Done for Me Lately?’: Intersections of Intellectual Property, Work-for-Hire, and The Struggle of the Creative Precariat in the American Comic Book Industry Co-Chair: Ben Chappell Co-Chair: Elizabeth Esch Date Approved: 24 May 2019 iii Abstract The comic book industry has significant challenges with intellectual property rights. Comic books have rarely been treated as a serious art form or cultural phenomenon. It used to be that creating a comic book would be considered shameful or something done only as side work. Beginning in the 1990s, some comic creators were able to leverage enough cultural capital to influence more media. In the post-9/11 world, generic elements of superheroes began to resonate with audiences; superheroes fight against injustices and are able to confront the evils in today’s America. This has created a billion dollar, Oscar-award-winning industry of superhero movies, as well as allowed created comic book careers for artists and writers.

  • When the Superheroes Emerged in the Late 1930S and Early 1940S They
    Kameshia Shepherd The Superhero Genre: Exhibitions Which Explore the Identities, Costumes, and Missions of the Superheroes When the superheroes emerged in the late 1930s and early 1940s they had dual identities, sidekicks, powers and abilities, arch-villains, a costume, a moral code, and a top-secret headquarters but a lawsuit in 1940 established identity, power, and mission as the fundamental attributes of the superhero genre. According to Peter Coogan in Superhero: The Secret Origin of a Genre, Judge Learned Hand estab- lished these three elements in a copyright and infringement lawsuit between two comic book companies. In the case of Detective Comics, Inc. v. Bruns Publica- tions, Inc., DC Comics filed a suit which claimed that Bruns Publication’s super- hero Wonder Man was a duplicate of their character Superman. Judge Learned Hand agreed and stated in his ruling that Wonder Man copied Superman’s dual identities, various powers, and pro-social mission. Based on this copyright law- suit, Coogan argued that Judge Hand had unknowingly provided the definitional characteristics of a superhero.1 Coogan took Judge Hand’s interpretation a step further by combing all of the elements of Hand’s verdict to comprise his own definition. Coogan’s superhero is: A heroic character with a selfless, pro-social mission; with superpowers-extraordinary abilities, advanced technology, or highly developed physical, mental, or mystical skills; who has a superhero identity embodied in a codename and iconic costume, which typi- cally expresses his [or her] biography,

  • The Sarajevo Haggadah Is One of the Oldest Manuscript Haggadahs in the World
    JOSEPH IN THE SARAJEVO HAGGADAH Joseph Sold To Ishmaelites Joseph’s Brothers Bow To Him The Sarajevo Haggadah is one of the oldest manuscript Haggadahs in the world. It is believed to have been created in Northern Spain, around the year 1350. Carried out of Spain during the expulsion of the Jews in 1492, it changed hands many times over the next several centuries. In 1894, in Sarajevo, a child whose family was in difficult financial circumstances because his father had died brought the Haggadah to school to barter for tuition. The teacher recognized it as a manuscript of remarkable beauty and extraordinary historical value. Among the most impressive features of the Haggadah is a series of 69 illustrations depicting the stories of Genesis which serve as a prelude to the experience in Egypt and the Exodus. Fascinatingly, 17 of the illustrations focus on the story of Joseph, nearly a quarter of the pictures. Two of them appear above. Over the years, a number of scholars have been puzzled by this disproportionate emphasis on the story of Joseph. How would you explain it? Why would the Jews of Medieval Spain be so drawn to the story of Joseph? Could it be that they identified with him for some reason? These are questions you might consider discussing at your Seder. Pass the pictures around. What do you notice about the artwork? Does it provide any insight or answers to the questions? ITEMS TO CONSIDER IN ANSWERING THE QUESTIONS: Joseph was sold to Ishmaelites, the ancestors of the Arabs who ruled Spain for many years and under whom Jews rose to prominent positions; when the Sarajevo Haggadah was created, Christians had taken control of Spain; the clothing worn by Joseph and his brothers is typical of the period; Joseph was one of the first of our ancestors to become assimilated into a culture different from his own, in dress, language, marriage and even the names he gave his children.

In this course we will learn about the history of books in general and Jewish books in particular, studying how texts were made, circulated, and read. We will also learn about the ways in which books gave rise to new conceptions of knowledge and authority and even to new ideas of what it meant to be Jewish. And we will do all this on site at the Library of Congress and the Kiev Library, in the physical presence of the primary sources we are studying, many of them centuries old and exceedingly rare. The inaugural version of “Bookmarks” will be divided into two halves. In the first half of the semester, we will examine the impact of print on Jewish cultural development from the fifteenth to the eighteenth centuries, a period often referred to as “early modern” in Jewish historiography, in part on account of the transformations wrought in Jewish life by the invention of movable type.

  • Jewish Comics; Or, Visualizing Current Jewish Narrative
    I Jewish Comics + Jewish Comics; Or, Visualizing Current Jewish Narrative Derek Parker Royal Executive Editor, Philip Roth Studies Over the past several years, there has been rapidly growing interest in Jews and comics-not comics of the Groucho Marx, Woody Allen, and Jerry Seinfeld variety, but those as presented on the paneled pages of the newspaper funnies, comic books, and graphic novels.1 In the past four years alone, there have been no less than seven tides devoted exclusively to the history and analysis ofJews and comic art, and these books do not even include the many recent com­ ics-related texts with substantive portions devoted to specific Jewish authors.2 1"Graphic novel" is a term that is not without its problems, but I am using it here not only because of its widespread common use, but also to distinguish it from comic books as a publication format or delivery system. In this sense, "comics" applies to the medium as a whole, regardless of the form it takes (e.g., the editorial cartoon, the single-panel gag, the newspaper comic strip, the comic book, and the graphic novel). Furthermore, I use "graphic novel" to refer to long-form comics-as opposed to the typical American comic book which runs 32-36 pages-regardless of genre. This could include long works of fictional comics that are "novelistic" in scope, collected issues of previously published comic books or strips, comic memoirs, comics-based journalism, and even expository comics. 2Recenr books devoted solely to Jews and comics include Simcha Weinstein, Up, Up, and Oy

  • Barcelona Haggadot
    MUHBA LLIBRETS DE SALA, 22 BARCELONA HAGGADOT The Jewish Splendour of Catalan Gothic BARCELONA HAGGADOT The Jewish Splendour of Catalan Gothic Barcelona, the seat of a monarchy and a hub of Mediterranean trade, had an urban ethos that was receptive to the most innovative artistic in- fluences in the opening decades of the 14th cen- tury. At this juncture in the Gothic era, the city’s workshops constituted a highly active centre for the production of Haggadot, manuscripts that contain the ritual of the Passover meal, which were commissioned by families living in the Call (Jewish quarter) in Barcelona and in other Jewish communities. Jews and Christians alike worked on Haggadot and shared the same style and iconographic models. The Museu d’Història de Barcelona reunites in the exhibition Barcelona Haggadot, for the first time in more than six centuries, an extensive se- lection of these splendid works of the Catalan Gothic period that were dispersed around the world when the Jews were expelled.
