    The Green Sheet and Opposition to American Motion Picture Classification in the 1960S

    The Green Sheet and Opposition to American Motion Picture Classification in the 1960s By Zachary Saltz University of Kansas, Copyright 2011 Submitted to the graduate degree program in Film and Media Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. John Tibbetts ________________________________ Dr. Michael Baskett ________________________________ Dr. Chuck Berg Date Defended: 19 April 2011 ii The Thesis Committee for Zachary Saltz certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: The Green Sheet and Opposition to American Motion Picture Classification in the 1960s ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. John Tibbetts Date approved: 19 April 2011 iii ABSTRACT The Green Sheet was a bulletin created by the Film Estimate Board of National Organizations, and featured the composite movie ratings of its ten member organizations, largely Protestant and represented by women. Between 1933 and 1969, the Green Sheet was offered as a service to civic, educational, and religious centers informing patrons which motion pictures contained potentially offensive and prurient content for younger viewers and families. When the Motion Picture Association of America began underwriting its costs of publication, the Green Sheet was used as a bartering device by the film industry to root out municipal censorship boards and legislative bills mandating state classification measures. The Green Sheet underscored tensions between film industry executives such as Eric Johnston and Jack Valenti, movie theater owners, politicians, and patrons demanding more integrity in monitoring changing film content in the rapidly progressive era of the 1960s. Using a system of symbolic advisory ratings, the Green Sheet set an early precedent for the age-based types of ratings the motion picture industry would adopt in its own rating system of 1968.

    The Political Appropriation of Foreign Comic Book Superheroes in Korea

    Situations 8.2 (2015): 49–65 ISSN: 2288–7822 Embedding Nostalgia: The Political Appropriation of Foreign Comic Book Superheroes in Korea Roald Maliangkay (Australian National University) Abstract Comic books have long expressed socio–political concerns and objectives, regardless of their origin. This article examines the political appropriation of foreign comic book superheroes in Korea. By contemplating a range of examples of such forms of appropriation, I show that one and the same foreign superhero can represent different socio–political views, including anti–communism, orientalism, and patriotism. I argue that because they are associated with innocence, superheroes can be used to summon nostalgia and a strong sense of community, even among those who were unexposed or indifferent to them. This strong association with the local culture allows them to be politicized and stands in the way of the icons becoming truly transnational.1 Keywords: anti–communist, appropriation, comic book, nostalgia, politics, South Korea, superhero, Tokto, webtoon 50 Roald Maliangkay Introduction Stories of superheroes are as old as religion, but in the form of comic books their history barely exceeds half a century. Although local heroes continue to exist and occupy a significant share of the market in many countries across Asia, the notion of a superhero has become increasingly associated with the imaginary universes created by DC and Marvel Comics. Icons of these universes have been known throughout Asia for some time. In 1949, Western superheroes began to circulate in Asia for the first time when National Periodicals (later DC Comics) licensed the Japanese publisher Shōnengahōsha–ban to publish translations of Superman.2 Similar licenses began to be issued in Indonesia in the 1950s,3 and throughout the region from around the 1970s.

    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} The Ultimate Book of British Comics by Jon Howells British Comics: A Cultural History. The specifically British contribution to the history of comics and cartoons remains under-researched and underappreciated. While there is a growing critical literature on such high-profile figures as Alan Moore, Neil Gaiman, and Grant Morrison, huge swathes of British cartooning history have been neglected by critics, historians, and fans. As James Chapman points out in his informative new study, the “work of Martin Barker and Roger Sabin represents the only sustained academic engagement with comics in Britain… the British comic has never achieved the cultural cachet of the bande dessinee , but nor has it found a popular mythology equivalent to the American superhero tradition.” While Chapman might also have pointed to Paul Gravett and Peter Stanbury’s 2006 book on Great British Comics: Ripping Yarns and Wizard Wheezes , his larger point is a valid one. Not only has “scholarly attention” been “thin on the ground,” fan culture in Britain often evinces a greater interest in second-tier Marvel characters than indigenous creators and titles. The so-called “British invasion” of the 1980s and 1990s is the conspicuous exception precisely because it left its mark on the American mainstream. Both the scope and the scale of British cartooning are worth emphasizing. The medium’s early development was profoundly influenced by the work of satirical print artists such as William Hogarth (1697-1764), James Gillray (1757-1815), and George Cruikshank (1792-1878), as well as by various London-based illustrated magazines of the nineteenth century, such as Punch , the Illustrated London News , and Pictorial Times .
