  • Bill Willingham's Fables—A Fairy-Tale Epic

    Bill Willingham's Fables—A Fairy-Tale Epic

    humanities Article We All Live in Fabletown: Bill Willingham’s Fables—A Fairy-Tale Epic for the 21st Century Jason Marc Harris Department of English, Texas A&M University, MS 4227 TAMU, College Station, TX 77843, USA; [email protected]; Tel.: +1-979-845-8358 Academic Editor: Claudia Schwabe Received: 1 March 2016; Accepted: 9 May 2016; Published: 19 May 2016 Abstract: Bill Willingham’s Fables comic book series and its spin-offs have spanned fourteen years and reinforce that fairy-tale characters are culturally meaningful, adaptable, subversive, and pervasive. Willingham uses fairy-tale pastiche and syncreticism based on the ethos of comic book crossovers in his redeployment of previous approaches to fairy-tale characters. Fables characters are richer for every perspective that Willingham deploys, from the Brothers Grimm to Disneyesque aesthetics and more erotic, violent, and horrific incarnations. Willingham’s approach to these fairy-tale narratives is synthetic, idiosyncratic, and libertarian. This tension between Willingham’s subordination of fairy-tale characters to his overarching libertarian ideological narrative and the traditional folkloric identities drives the storytelling momentum of the Fables universe. Willingham’s portrayal of Bigby (the Big Bad Wolf turned private eye), Snow White (“Fairest of Them All”, Director of Operations of Fabletown, and avenger against pedophilic dwarves), Rose Red (Snow’s divergent, wild, and jealous sister), and Jack (narcissistic trickster) challenges contemporary assumptions about gender, heroism, narrative genres, and the very conception of a fairy tale. Emerging from negotiations with tradition and innovation are fairy-tale characters who defy constraints of folk and storybook narrative, mythology, and metafiction.

    THE FOSSIL Official Publication of The Fossils, Inc., Historians of Amateur Journalism Volume 105, Number 3, Whole Number 340, Glenview, Illinois, April 2009 GREETINGS AND FAREWELLS President's Report Guy Miller A letter from Fossil Barry Schrader on a separate matter prompts me to emphasize once again the services of our Library of Amateur Journalism located in the Special Collections Library of the University of Wisconsin in Madison. I have tried to spread the word throughout the hobby from the time I was first elected Fossils President in 1994. Still the fact of its existence seems to have remained a best-kept secret. In my January President's Report, I revealed my need to downsize my hobby office and observed: “Where to send a good portion of the journals is not a problem. I know that my collection of It's a Small World, Campane, The Boxwooder, The Scarlet Cockerel, The Lucky Dog, Churinga, various printed papers, and my ajay books will find their way either into other members' collections or the Library of Amateur Journalism...where...our Fossil collection of amateur journals has found a home.” If you have a collection of ajay journals you deem worthy of preservation, please consider these alternatives. It is satisfying to know that there are fellow ajays still collecting. Already, I have received replies from Barry Schrader and Robert Lichtman, who will be getting their specific requests as soon as the weather permits me to cart the journals to our downtown post office. So, there you area. When you are ready to downsize, remember that there are fellow ajays still collecting and also that we have libraries that are housing special collections.

    Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (Ptsd) As Posthumanity in Graphic Narratives

    Post-traumatic stress disorder (ptsd) as posthumanity in graphic narratives Lisa DeTora Hofstra University ORCID ID: 0000-0001-5348-2638 In Trauma Culture: The Politics of Terror and Loss in Media and Literature (2005), E. Ann Kaplan describes how the us experience of the terrorist attacks of 9/11 shifted studies of trauma, displacing its primary considerations from individual experiences, like shell shock or domestic violence, to collective events like the Holocaust. This social and intellectual possibility arose through a reframing of post-traumatic stress disorder (ptsd) from character defect to disease as well as considered work by key scholars such as Cathy Carruth (1994), Shoshana Felman (1991), or Dominick La Capra (2001) which drew on earlier events such as the Gulf War. Early clinical descriptions of ptsd appeared in Judith Herman’s seminal work Trauma and Kaukiainen, K., Kurikka, K., Mäkelä, H., Nykänen, E., Nyqvist, S., Raipola, J., Riippa, A. & Samola, H. (Eds) (2020). Narratives of fear and safety. Tampere: Tampere University Press, 317–340. http://urn.fi/URN:ISBN:978-952-359-014-4 Lisa DeTora Recovery (1992), combining physical, social, and psychological elements of a long-term disabling condition caused by a specific trauma: stress, flashbacks, phobias, nightmares, insomnia, panic attacks, and depression, among others. Work like Herman’s raised social consciousness and reframed its understanding of individual sufferers, calling for respect, understanding and compassion for those traumatized even in unpopular circumstances. By 2001, ptsd had become a medical – and social – condition worthy of treatment. A new vision of trauma had become possible, a collective, shared experience, that minimized stigma for the individual.
