  • 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.

  • Resistance Through 'Robber Talk'
    Emily Zobel Marshall Leeds Beckett University [email protected] Resistance through ‘Robber Talk’: Storytelling Strategies and the Carnival Trickster The Midnight Robber is a quintessential Trinidadian carnival ‘badman.’ Dressed in a black sombrero adorned with skulls and coffin-shaped shoes, his long, eloquent speeches descend from the West African ‘griot’ (storyteller) tradition and detail the vengeance he will wreak on his oppressors. He exemplifies many of the practices that are central to Caribbean carnival culture - resistance to officialdom, linguistic innovation and the disruptive nature of play, parody and humour. Elements of the Midnight Robber’s dress and speech are directly descended from West African dress and oral traditions (Warner-Lewis, 1991, p.83). Like other tricksters of West African origin in the Americas, Anansi and Brer Rabbit, the Midnight Robber relies on his verbal agility to thwart officialdom and triumph over his adversaries. He is, as Rodger Abrahams identified, a Caribbean ‘Man of Words’, and deeply imbedded in Caribbean speech-making traditions (Abrahams, 1983). This article will examine the cultural trajectory of the Midnight Robber and then go on to explore his journey from oral to literary form in the twenty-first century, demonstrating how Jamaican author Nalo Hopkinson and Trinidadian Keith Jardim have drawn from his revolutionary energy to challenge authoritarian power through linguistic and literary skill. The parallels between the Midnight Robber and trickster figures Anansi and Brer Rabbit are numerous. Anansi is symbolic of the malleability and ambiguity of language and the roots of the tales can be traced back to the Asante of Ghana (Marshall, 2012).

  • Persona and Rebellion in Trickster Narratives. Case Study: Fleabag (Bbc 2016-2019)
    Bassil-Morozow PERSONA AND REBELLION IN TRICKSTER NARRATIVES. CASE STUDY: FLEABAG (BBC 2016-2019) HELENA BASSIL-MOROZOW GLASGOW CALEDONIAN UNIVERSITY ABSTRACT This paper brings together the concept of persona and the figure of the trickster to examine the dynamic between social norms and creative noncompliance, between the social mask and human authenticity, in moving image narratives. In particular, it looks at the female trickster challenging the female persona in recent television shows, primarily BBC’s Fleabag (2016-2019), using the previously outlined framework of trickster attributes (Bassil-Morozow 2012; Bassil-Morozow 2015). The concept of persona is examined using a combination of Erving Goffman’s presentation of self theory and Jung’s persona concept. It is argued that the female persona – the artificial vision of socially acceptable femininity – is a particularly rigid psycho-social structure, comprising repressive and unrealistic expectations for women’s looks, bodies, and conduct in public situations. Using the nameless protagonist of Fleabag as a case study, the paper shows how the female trickster can challenge these prescribed attributes and expectations while defying the individual- controlling techniques: shame, social embarrassment, social rejection and ostracism. KEY WORDS Female Trickster; Persona; Fleabag; Jung; Goffman; Social Mask PERSONA AND REBELLION IN TRICKSTER NARRATIVES. CASE STUDY: FLEABAG (BBC 2016-2019) This paper brings together the concept of persona and the figure of the trickster to examine the dynamic between social norms and creative noncompliance, between the social mask and human authenticity, in moving image narratives.

  • The Craftsman, the Trickster, and the Poet “Re-Souling” the Rational Mind
    THE CRAFTSMAN, THE TRICKSTER, AND THE POET “RE-SOULING” THE RATIONAL MIND Edith K. Ackermann The human psyche seems to be the forgotten middle ground between brain and body, mind and matter, and cognition and emotion.1 And yet, without the imaginative, the creative, and the heartfelt, there is no intelligence, experience, or meanings to speak of. The highest forms of human achievements can’t be understood in terms of scienti!c conquests alone. No one says it better than Cassirer in An Essay on Man (1944), when he says that man is set above animals, not because he possesses higher sensibility, longer memory, or an abil- ity for quicker association, but because of his power to create and manipulate symbols—to endow things with meaning and with life. Clearly, the symbols that humans manipulate, or the “metaphors we live by” (Lako" and Johnson 1981), come in varying shades of gray. They can be thoughts, words, images, or actions, such as enactments and performances. They can be used, alone or together, to invoke, evoke, mediate, delegate, signify, signal, subvert, or give orders. They can be emit- ted and recieved knowingly—for example, when I wink at a friend and she smiles back at me—or unknowingly, without my noticing, tacitly, on my behalf. I suggest that art as a way of knowing is about “re-souling” the rational mind. This, in turn, occurs as a consequence of being mindfully engaged, playful in spirit, and disposed to use !ction—or the powers of myth—as windows into our inner and outer realities.

  • Teacher As Trickster on the Learner's Journey
    Journal of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, Vol. 9, No. 2, June 2009, pp. 70 – 81. Teacher as trickster on the learner’s journey Kenneth W. Davis1 and Scott R. Weeden2 Abstract: For tens of thousands of years, teachers have used stories to promote learning. Today’s teachers can do the same. In particular, we can employ Joseph Campbell’s “monomyth”—with its stages of separation, initiation, and return—as a model for structuring learning experiences. Within the monomyth, one tempting role for teachers is the sage, but we should resist this temptation. Instead we should acknowledge, and benefit from, our role as tricksters. To do so is to accept and illuminate the dual responsibility of the teacher as both supporter and challenger. Keywords: myth, initiation, trickster, metaphor, course design. For tens of thousands of years, teachers have used stories to promote learning. We can imagine an early classroom, made up of would-be hunters gathered around a fire, listening to a tale of a successful or unsuccessful hunt. By hearing a story, the apprentice hunters learn what works and what doesn’t. Storytelling comes naturally to us. As therapist and teacher Joseph Gold (2002) states in the title of a recent book, we humans are “The Story Species.” Today’s teachers are drawing on the power of story in a variety of ways. For example, in the health professions the field of “narrative pedagogy” is flourishing. Student doctors, nurses, and other health-care professionals are learning from stories how to see their patients, not as “presenting” conditions but as whole persons, with their own life stories.

  • The Evolution of the Western Dragon
    Athens Journal of Mediterranean Studies- Volume 4, Issue 4 – Pages 265-290 The Evolution of the Western Dragon By Sharon Khalifa-Gueta The figure of the dragon seems to be magnetic for human imagination and flourishes even these days. In the present article I explore the biological and psychological reasons why dragons were initially created in the human mind. Although I focus on the Mediterranean dragon figure as it evolved over time, the theories I suggest here for the reasons for the creation of dragons hold globally. I discuss the origins of the dragon figure in snakes, explain the reasons for the various kinds of imagined dragons, and categorize the different dragon prototypes that developed in the Mediterranean region. This article provides basic information that can be the foundation for further study of the subject. Keywords: Art, Dragon, Life metaphor, Snake, Underworld Introduction It seems to me that choosing to explore the meaning and function of the dragon figure is to come face to face with one of mankind‟s most fascinating phenomenon: The dragon is one of the most intriguing products of the human imagination, and we can find images of dragons in all cultures from as early as the prehistoric era. The dragon‟s popularity soared in all of the major ancient cultures – Mesopotamian, Indo-European, Chinese, and Egyptian, as well as pre-Colombian cultures. In this article, I focus on dragon images in ancient and medieval Mediterranean cultures that constituted an inspiration for the figure of the dragon in Early Modern Europe. The long-term popularity of the dragon figure in Mediterranean cultures is proof that it serves a psychological need.
