It is walked by thousands every year, both Christians and non-believers.

On the Camino is Jason’s memoir of that trek — 32 days and 500 WELL, I TRiED. miles from St. Jean Pied de Port to Finisterre, observing with the eye of an artist, chronicling both the good (people, conversations) and the bad (blisters, bedbugs). Full of quiet incidents, odd encounters, small triumphs, and the occasional setback, On the Camino is the latest graphic novel by a master cartoonist. JASON lives in Montpellier, France. “One gets the sense that Jason, like poets writing sestinas, is testing his powers, letting the fierce constraints of the form reveal new possibilities, and it’s a wonderful thing to observe.” iN LOS ARCOS, I CHOOSE A HOSTEL $24.99 Hardcover — The Guardian AND THEN TAKE A WALK… Comics & Graphic Novels / Literary “Jason’s work is poetry.

One such killer is given the unique job of traveling back in time to kill Adolf Hitler in 1939... but things go spectacularly wrong.

Songy of Paradise is an inspired interpretation of John Milton’s retelling of the story of Jesus being tempted by Satan after being baptized by John the Baptist and fasting for forty days and nights in the Judaean Desert. Panter’s version doesn’t rely on Milton’s words, but faithfully follows the structure of Milton’s Paradise Regained, with one notable exception: Jesus has been replaced by a hillbilly, Songy, who is on a vision quest before being tempted by a chimeric Satan figure. Gary Panter is one of America’s preeminent artists, designers, and cartoonists, whose work defined the L.A. punk scene and the vibrant work of the television show Pee-Wee’s Playhouse. Songy of Paradise presents Panter’s singular vision in an ornate, hardcover format that does justice to Panter’s densely packed pages, with a stunning two-color stamping on cloth covers. It $34.99 Hardcover will be an art object, a brilliant literary experiment, and the most eye-popping Comics & Graphic Novels / Literary graphic novel of 2017.

  • Die Beach-Party-Filme (1963-1968) Zusammengestellt Von Katja Bruns Und James Zu Hüningen
    Kieler Beiträge zur Filmmusikforschung, 5.4, 2011 // 623 Die Beach-Party-Filme (1963-1968) Zusammengestellt von Katja Bruns und James zu Hüningen Inhalt: Alphabetisches Verzeichnis der Filme Chronologisches Verzeichnis der Filme Literatur Als Beach Party Movies bezeichnet man ein kleines Genre von Filmen, das sich um die Produktionen der American International Pictures (AIP) versammelt. Zwar gab es eine Reihe von Vorläufern – zuallererst ist die Columbia-Produktion GIDGET aus dem Jahre 1959 zu nennen (nach einem Erfolgsroman von Frederick Kohner), in dem Sandra Dee als Surferin aufgetreten war –, doch beginnt die kurze Erfolgsgeschichte des Genres erst mit BEACH PARTY (1963), einer AIP-Produktion, die einen ebenso unerwarteten wie großen Kassenerfolg hatte. AIP hatte das Grundmuster der Gidget-Filme kopiert, die Geschichte um diverse Musiknummern angereichert, die oft auch als performances seinerzeit populärer Bands im Film selbst szenisch ausgeführt wurden, und die Darstellerinnen in zahlreichen Bikini-Szenen ausgestellt (exponierte männliche Körper traten erst in den Surfer-Szenen etwas später hinzu). Das AIP-Konzept spekulierte auf einen primär jugendlichen Kreis von Zuschauern, weshalb – anders, als noch in der GIDGET-Geschichte – die Rollen der Eltern und anderer Erziehungsberechtigter deutlich zurückgenommen wurden. Allerdings spielen die Auseinandersetzungen mit Eltern, vor allem das Erlernen eines selbstbestimmten Umgangs mit der eigenen Sexualität in allen Filmen eine zentrale dramatische Rolle. Dass die Jugendlichen meist in peer groups auftreten und dass es dabei zu Rang- oder Machtkämpfen kommt, tritt dagegen ganz zurück. Es handelte sich ausschließlich um minimal budgetierte Filme, die on location vor allem an den Stränden Kaliforniens (meist am Paradise Cove) aufgenommen wurden; später kamen auch Aufnahmen auf Hawaii und an anderen berühmten Surfer-Stränden zustande.

Signature:……………………………………… 3 Summary Due to their characteristic themes (such as „perverse‟ desire and monstrosity) and form (incoherence and excess), exploitation films are often celebrated as inherently subversive or transgressive. I critically assess such claims through a close reading of the films of the Spanish „sex and horror‟ specialist Jess Franco. My textual and contextual analysis shows that Franco‟s films are shaped by inter-relationships between authorship, international genre codes and the economic and ideological conditions of exploitation cinema. Within these conditions, Franco‟s treatment of „aberrant‟ and gothic desiring subjectivities appears contradictory. Contestation and critique can, for example, be found in Franco‟s portrayal of emasculated male characters, and his female vampires may offer opportunities for resistant appropriation.

  • Journal of Religion & Society
    Journal of Religion & Society Volume 6 (2004) ISSN 1522-5658 David, Mickey Mouse, and the Evolution of an Icon1 Lowell K. Handy, American Theological Library Association Abstract The transformation of an entertaining roguish figure to an institutional icon is investigated with respect to the figures of Mickey Mouse and the biblical King David. Using the three-stage evolution proposed by R. Brockway, the figures of Mickey and David are shown to pass through an initial entertaining phase, a period of model behavior, and a stage as icon. The biblical context for these shifts is basically irretrievable so the extensive materials available for changes in the Mouse provide sufficient information on personnel and social forces to both illuminate our lack of understanding for changes in David while providing some comparative material for similar development. Introduction [1] One can perceive a progression in the development of the figure of David from the rather unsavory character one encounters in the Samuel narratives, through the religious, righteous king of Chronicles, to the messianic abstraction of the Jewish and Christian traditions.2 The movement is a shift from “trickster,” to “Bourgeoisie do-gooder,” to “corporate image” proposed for the evolution of Mickey Mouse by Robert Brockway.3 There are, in fact, several interesting parallels between the portrayals of Mickey Mouse and David, but simply a look at the context that produced the changes in each character may help to understand the visions of David in three surviving biblical textual traditions in light of the adaptability of the Mouse for which there is a great deal more contextual data to investigate.
