    Vigilantes, Incorporated: an Ideological Economy of the Superhero Blockbuster

    VIGILANTES, INCORPORATED: AN IDEOLOGICAL ECONOMY OF THE SUPERHERO BLOCKBUSTER BY EZRA CLAVERIE DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English with a minor in Cinema Studies in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2016 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor José B. Capino, Chair Associate Professor Jim Hansen Associate Professor Lilya Kaganovsky Associate Professor Robert A. Rushing Professor Frank Grady,Department of English, University of Missouri, Saint Louis ii ABSTRACT Since 2000, the comic-book superhero blockbuster has become Hollywood’s most salient genre. “Heroes, Incorporated: A Political Economy of the Superhero Blockbuster” examines these seemingly reactionary fantasies of American power, analyzing their role in transmedia storytelling for a conglomerated and world-spanning entertainment industry. This dissertation argues that for all their apparent investment in the status quo and the hegemony of white men, superhero blockbusters actually reveal the disruptive and inhuman logic of capital, which drives both technological and cultural change. Although focused on the superhero film from 2000 to 2015, this project also considers the print and electronic media across which conglomerates extend their franchises. It thereby contributes to the materialist study of popular culture and transmedia adaptation, showing how 21st century Hollywood adapts old media for new platforms, technologies, and audiences. The first chapter traces the ideology of these films to their commercial roots, arguing that screen superheroes function as allegories of intellectual property. The hero’s “brand” identity signifies stability, even as the character’s corporate owners continually revise him (rarely her).

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Disney Junior's CHOO CHOO SOUL Brings

    Media Contact: Ashlee Hurley Director of Marketing and Sales 717-724-3879 [email protected] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Disney Junior’s CHOO CHOO SOUL Brings Hip-Hop Style of Children’s Music to Harrisburg Popular Children’s Performers Present Disney Songs with a Funky Twist Harrisburg, PA- Whitaker Center presents Disney Junior’s Choo Choo Soul with Genevieve and DC from the popular Disney Junior interstitial at Sunoco Performance Theater on Saturday, September 30 with show times at 11:30am and 4:00pm. This is a family show, with tickets starting at just $17. Whitaker Center Presents shows are sponsored by Capital BlueCross. Genevieve Goings and Constantine “DC” Abramson, the stars of Disney Junior’s Choo Choo Soul, are entering their 11th year of entertaining pre-schoolers and parents worldwide. Born from the mind of a Silicon Valley video game developer, Choo Choo Soul began as a hip-hop/soul children’s album of music that “won’t drive parents crazy.” The album caught fire and the brand was acquired by Disney and developed into a live-action television interstitial paired with animation in 2006 that encouraged young viewers to get up and dance to their funky, urban sound. Choo Choo Soul began touring the country in 2007 and has performed for thousands of children in over 100 cities across the globe. With the wildfire success of the go-to duo for tots, Disney commissioned a release of their second studio album; a re-make mashup of Classic Disney hits.
