  • It's a Very Good Time to Be a Graphic Novel Fan. Graphic Fiction and Non
    It’s a very good time to be a graphic novel fan. Graphic fiction and non-fiction have become really hot properties, thanks, in part, to growing interest on the part of Hollywood. This year alone we have the last chapter of the ”Dark Knight” trilogy, a new take on the Spider-Man franchise, a Ghost Rider sequel, and the gathering of several of Marvel’s biggest properties in the epic Avengers. There’s also the runaway hit Walking Dead on AMC. With all the attention graphic novels are getting, it can still be a little intimidating to find a good place to jump in, particularly if super heroics and spandex tights aren’t really your thing. Thankfully, the Cambridge Public Library has a wide assortment of graphic novels of all types to get your started. All of the following are self contained works—no ongoing series or multi-volume works here! Mister X – Welcome to Radiant City, the city of the future. A city where the very architecture is slowly driving the population mad. Meet Mister X, the designer responsible. A blend of film noir, German expressionism, and art deco, Mister X follows the eponymous character as he tries to amend for his mistakes and save the citizens of Radiant City from madness. Fans of films like Brazil, Dark City, etc. will find a lot to love here in Dean Motter’s masterpiece. Blankets – Blankets is the autobiographic work of Craig Thompson, and explores his life growing up in a religious family in the rural Mid-West. From his troubled relationship with his parents, to the budding romance with a girl he meets over the summer, to the sometimes rivalry he has with his brother, Thompson tells his coming of age story beautifully in both word and image.

  • La Bande Dessinée En Dissidence Comics in Dissent
    Collection ACME La bande dessinée en dissidence Alternative, indépendance, auto-édition Comics in Dissent Alternative, Independence, Self-Publishing Christophe Dony, Tanguy Habrand et Gert Meesters (éditeurs) Presses Universitaires de Liège 2014 Reassessing the Mainstream vs. Alternative/Independent Dichotomy or, the Double Awareness of the Vertigo Imprint Christophe Dony Université de Liège Abstract This article examines how the traditional mainstream vs. alternative/independent dicho- tomy usually employed to characterize the cultural production of comics in the US may have become outdated, and perhaps even obsolete, when considering and analyzing the editorial policies and ideological agenda of Vertigo, DC’s adult-oriented imprint. More specifically, this essay sheds light on how Vertigo engages in a critical, ironic, and sometimes ambiguous discourse with both the history of the medium and staple practices and traditions from the mainstream and alternative wings of the American comics production. In so doing, I maintain that Vertigo is characterized by a hybrid identity and has developed a “double awareness” that allows it to appeal to both mainstream and alternative audiences. Vertigo’s hybridity, however, is not devoid of cultural, political, and even sociological implications that upset the categories of reception and production structuring the field of American comics. These im plications underlying both the hybrid character of the label and its concomitant politics of demarcation in regards to the mainstream/alternatve dialectic will first be explored through the label’s obsession with processes of rewriting and recuperation, and second, through a close-reading of some of Vertigo promotional books’ covers. Résumé À la lumière d’une étude de cas examinant les pratiques éditoriales ainsi que le discours politique et culturel du label américain de bande dessinée Vertigo (DC Comics), cet article illustre la faillibilité du modèle binaire mainstream vs.

  • Subjectivity and Embodied Experiences of Time in Contemporary English-Canadian Fiction and Film
    Subjectivity and Embodied Experiences of Time in Contemporary English-Canadian Fiction and Film by Katherine Louise Mullins A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of English University of Toronto © Copyright by Katherine Louise Mullins 2014 Subjectivity and Embodied Experiences of Time in Contemporary English-Canadian Fiction Katherine Louise Mullins Doctor of Philosophy Department of English University of Toronto 2014 Abstract My dissertation offers close readings of four literary and filmic Canadian works— Michael Ondaatje’s novel Anil’s Ghost (2000), Dionne Brand’s short-story collection Sans Souci and Other Stories (1983), Jeff Lemire’s graphic narrative Essex County (2009), and David Cronenberg’s film Spider (2002)— to demonstrate their engagement with embodied experience. This study argues that subjective experience is inseparable from the process of thinking through and with the body. This focus on embodiment, I argue, often gives way to a privileging of present-time experience, even within accounts of the traumatic past. I connect this interest in present-time embodied experience to a larger concern in the development of Canadian criticism and suggest that Canadian criticism is in need of a corrective shift away from a focus on the past and towards an attentiveness to the present. Chapter one examines embodiment, touch, and forgetting in ii Ondaatje’s Anil’s Ghost. Here, I show how the novel provides a model of willed forgetting that allows characters to survive the horrors of war and to experience valuable moments of life-affirming embodied engagement and communication, often through physical touch, in the present.

  • Hitler and Hollywood: the Collaboration of American Movie
    Hitler and Hollywood: The Collaboration of American Movie Studios with Nazi Germany By Benjamin Alexander Urwand A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Leon Litwack, Chair Professor Martin Jay Greil Marcus Professor Carol Clover Spring 2011 Abstract Hitler and Hollywood: The Collaboration of American Movie Studios with Nazi Germany by Benjamin Alexander Urwand Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Leon Litwack, Chair From 1933 to 1940, the Hollywood studios came to an arrangement with the Nazis that both parties understood at the time as "collaboration [Zusammenarbeit]." The studios sold around 250 movies to Germany in this period, in return for which they had to agree not to attack the Nazis in any of their productions. When the United States entered the Second World War in 1941, the studios finally put out a barrage of anti-Nazi pictures, but refused to use the medium to bring the genocide of the Jews to the world's attention. The collaboration of the American studios with Nazi Germany has never been addressed in any of the scholarly or popular literature on the Third Reich or in the history of film. This project draws on primary materials from dozens of archives and hundreds of movies to tell a story that is completely unknown. 1 in memory of Michael Rogin (1937-2001) i Introduction Eleven men were sitting in a screening room in Berlin. Only a few of them were Nazis.

Lemire is the man.By Rockso123I just started reading Jeff Lemire's novels recently, and I am absolutely hooked. First of all I love the artwork, it flows so well with the dark, melancholy tone of his books.This novel in particular was a fun, easy read, full of emotion. The one that most comes to mind is loneliness and desperation, and the panic that can grip a small town when it is faced with something they aren't used to.A great little graphic novel.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

This is an original graphic novel from an award-winning alternative comics artist! The tiny, isolated fishing village of Large Mouth never saw much excitement - until the arrival of the stranger, that is. Wrapped from head to toe in bandages and wearing weird goggles, he quietly took up residence in the sleepy town's motel. Driven by curiosity, the townfolk quickly learn the tragic story of his past, and of the terrible accident that left him horribly disfigured.

  • Inventing the Minority Bildungsroman by Alvin James Henry a Dissertation Submitted in Partial
    Through the Second Looking Glass: Inventing the Minority Bildungsroman By Alvin James Henry A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Interdisciplinary – Literature and Social Thought in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Abdul JanMohamed, Chair Professor Paola Bacchetta Professor Kent Puckett Professor Carol Stack Professor Bryan Wagner Fall 2012 © Copyright 2012 Alvin James Henry All Rights Reserved Abstract Through the Second Looking Glass: Inventing the Minority Bildungsroman by Alvin Henry Doctor of Philosophy in Literature and Social Thought University of California, Berkeley Professor Abdul JanMohamed, Chair My dissertation argues for the importance of what I term the minority Bildungsroman, a genre that twentieth-century writers adopted in order to represent racial anxiety as well as to imagine a way for the minority subject to move beyond it. By looking at the minority Bildungsroman as a literary form that exposes the process of Bildung not as self-formation but as self-dissolution, I aim to offer an important new perspective into how minority literature uses genre and literary history: only close attention to plot, character, and narrative reveals how these texts create a new genre to depict the minority subject’s escape from the complex of socially- imposed identities originating from the dead mother complex. Unlike the subject of the traditional Bildungsroman, who achieves social integration and a stable ego, the minority subject in this new genre fails to successfully internalize the social roles that he is assigned. The instability and suffering imposed by double consciousness and racial anxiety cause him to throw off his prescribed identities.
