  • Animating Race the Production and Ascription of Asian-Ness in the Animation of Avatar: the Last Airbender and the Legend of Korra
    Animating Race The Production and Ascription of Asian-ness in the Animation of Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra Francis M. Agnoli Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) University of East Anglia School of Art, Media and American Studies April 2020 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. 2 Abstract How and by what means is race ascribed to an animated body? My thesis addresses this question by reconstructing the production narratives around the Nickelodeon television series Avatar: The Last Airbender (2005-08) and its sequel The Legend of Korra (2012-14). Through original and preexisting interviews, I determine how the ascription of race occurs at every stage of production. To do so, I triangulate theories related to race as a social construct, using a definition composed by sociologists Matthew Desmond and Mustafa Emirbayer; re-presentations of the body in animation, drawing upon art historian Nicholas Mirzoeff’s concept of the bodyscape; and the cinematic voice as described by film scholars Rick Altman, Mary Ann Doane, Michel Chion, and Gianluca Sergi. Even production processes not directly related to character design, animation, or performance contribute to the ascription of race. Therefore, this thesis also references writings on culture, such as those on cultural appropriation, cultural flow/traffic, and transculturation; fantasy, an impulse to break away from mimesis; and realist animation conventions, which relates to Paul Wells’ concept of hyper-realism.

  • USING GRAPHIC NOVELS with CHILDREN and TEENS a Guide for Teachers and Librarians Using Graphic Novels with Children and Teens a Guide for Teachers and Librarians
    USING GRAPHIC NOVELS WITH CHILDREN AND TEENS A Guide for Teachers and Librarians USING Graphic NOVELS with CHILDREN AND TEENS A Guide for Teachers and Librarians Graphic NOVELS ARE hot! No longer an underground movement appealing to a small following of enthusiasts, graphic novels have emerged as a growing segment of book publishing, and have become accepted by librarians and educators as mainstream literature for children and young adults­­ literature that powerfully motivates kids to read. Are graphic novels for you? Should you be taking a more serious look at this format? How might graphic novels fit into your library collection, your curriculum, and your classroom? Want to know more? If so, this guide is for you. Art © 2010 Jeff Smith 2 What are graphic novels? In this context, the word “graphic” does not mean “adult” or “explicit.” Graphic novels are books written and illustrated in the style of a comic book. The term graphic novel was first popularized by Will Eisner to distinguish his book A Contract with God (1978) from collections of newspaper comic strips. He described graphic novels as consisting of “sequential art”—a series of illustrations which, when viewed in order, tell a story. Although today’s graphic novels are a recent phenomenon, this basic way of storytelling has been used in various forms for centuries—early cave drawings, hieroglyphics, and medieval tapestries like the famous Bayeux Tapestry can be thought of as stories told in pictures. The term graphic novel is now generally used to describe any book in a comic format that resembles a novel in length and narrative development.

  • Global Perspectives in Contemporary Art Representation in Animation
    Art 119: Global Perspectives in Contemporary Art Representation in Animation: A Great Power and a Greater Responsibility Ashna Choudhury January 5, 2019 (2993 Words) In recent years, Hollywood has been called out for a lack of diversity in its films. Revelations such as the 2016 election and the “MeToo” Movement have made big producers and movie houses accountable for the messages they are sending both off and on screen. As a result, biases, misrepresentations, and privileges of certain groups have been uncovered and put under major scrutiny by viewers. The imbalance of representation for some communities is not new; rather, it has been an unaddressed problem in the film industry for decades. Almost thirty years ago, feminist activist and scholar, Peggy McIntosh, stated that there is apparent white privilege in the film industry as she concedes that “I can turn on the television or open to the front page of the paper and see people of my race widely and positively represented.”i This, unfortunately, is not a privilege all communities share; as a Bengali-American, for example, I have never seen someone exactly like myself being represented on screen. Even now in 2019, it is clear that many films in Hollywood still do not represent diverse communities and cultures as the Hollywood Diversity Report published by UCLA this past year states that while minorities and women “have made progress, they remain underrepresented on every front.”ii Does the animation industry, however, also suffer from a lack of diversity and representation? In a medium where the artists have endless imagination to create their worlds, do filmmakers use that creative freedom to depict underrepresented communities? In this paper, I will explore the representation of various ethnicities, cultures, genders, and sexualities in animation.

  • Avatar: the Last Airbender As a Moral Educator by Dara Poizner
    Avatar: The Last Airbender as a Moral Educator By Dara Poizner Note on the Author: Dara Poizner is in her third year at the University of Guelph, pursuing a major in English. She hopes to spend her life talking to and learning from people, and writing about the issues close to her heart. Among other things, Dara is passionate about intersectional feminism, mental health advocacy, critical TV watching, and the belief that pineapples do belong on pizza. Avatar: The Last Airbender as a Moral Educator Introduction Avatar: The Last Airbender is an animated American television series that aired from 2005 until 2008, and its young target audience is as deceptive to potential viewers as it is important. Created by Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, the show’s many virtues include compelling characters, clever writing, an attractive design, and an engaging storyline; it is beloved to viewers of all ages. But within the framework of a beautifully made television series is a morally complex educational system that uses its target audience – children – as a model for which to employ its socially progressive values. Avatar takes advantage of children’s potential receptiveness to effectively introduce liberal attitudes, and the show itself becomes a vessel for humanism. This essay will discuss how Avatar: The Last Airbender successfully instills a sense of liberal morality among its viewers. It will conduct a comprehensive sectional analysis of the institutions and aspects of society discussed within the show, demonstrating how it dismantles oppressive systems and advocates for social justice. Background: Series Premise and Key Characters This essay will first provide some background outlining Avatar: The Last Airbender, to allow for a full understanding of the moral mechanisms at work within the show.

  • Why Graphic Novels?
    Why Graphic Novels? Graphic novels may be a new format for your store, but they’re still all about telling stories. The way graphic novels tell their stories – with integrated words and pictures – looks different from traditional novels, poetry, plays, and picture books, but the stories they tell have the same hearts. Bone, by Jeff Smith, is a fantastical adventure with a monstrous villain and endearing heroes, like Harry Potter. American Born Chinese, by Gene Luen Yang, is a coming-of-age novel, like Catcher in the Rye. Fun Home, by Alison Bechdel, is a powerful memoir, like Running With Scissors. When people ask, ‘why graphic novels?’ the easiest answer you can give is, graphic novels tell stories that are just as scary and funny and powerful and heartwarming as prose. Here are two more sophisticated answers you can also try out. Education Graphic novels are a great way to go for kids making the transition from image-centric books to more text-based books, and for adults just learning English. Because of the combination of image and text in a graphic novel, readers get visual clues about what’s going on in the story even if their vocabulary isn’t quite up to all the words yet. And because graphic novels are told as a series of panels, reading graphic novels also forces readers to think and become actively involved each time they move between one panel and the next. What’s happening in that space? How do the story and the characters get from panel 1 to panel 2? Both television and the internet play a large part in our culture – images are becoming more and more integrated into everyone’s everyday life.

  • Conference Program
    Association for the Study of Literature and Environment Eighth Biennial Conference 3-6 June 2009 Island Time: The Fate of Place in a Wired, Warming World Welcome to Victoria! We’re Glad You’re Here! Over eighteen months ago, we began planning this program on a scrap of paper in Rochelle Johnson’s dining room. Today . well, let’s just say our scrap of paper has gotten a little bit bigger. We had several goals in mind when we first started imagining this gathering, but the most important was to create an intellectual and creative space where things can happen that would not happen otherwise. We did so in response to Bill McKibben’s challenge to us at the last ASLE conference in Spartanburg: that if we are going to travel to a conference in a time of climate crisis, we should “make it count.” We hope we have achieved that goal by building more time into the program for conversation, dialogue, and discussion about our most pressing environmental and cultural questions: not only about human meaning, purpose, and value but also about climate change, social justice, and the economic and technological transformations now reshaping our world. Thank you for joining us as we gather on “island time” to consider “the fate of place in a wired, warming world.” Dan Philippon, ASLE President and Program Chair Richard Pickard, Local Arrangements Chair Thank You • our hosts at UVic: – the other members of the Local Arrangements Committee: Nick Bradley and Nicole Shukin – David Turpin, President of the University; Andrew Rippen, Dean of Humanities; and Robert
