  • NAKEDNESS on MARS by Woodrow Edgar Nichols, Jr
    NAKEDNESS ON MARS by Woodrow Edgar Nichols, Jr. INTRODUCTION When Edgar Rice Burroughs wrote A Princess of Mars and its sequels, he was writing the legal pornograpy of the day. He wrote what was the literary equivalent of a peep show, which we know he was fond of from his 1893 Chicago Columbian Exposition midway adventures. (See, ERBzine #1275, chpt. 6.) This is where Little Egypt became an international celebrity. Because no acts of sex are explicitly described in this series, this fact passes mainly unnoticed to the modern reader, but a discerning eye sees on almost every page naked people with their sexual organs fully exposed, female breasts enhanced in leather harnesses, near rape scenes, acts of perverse cruelty and sado-masochistic bondage, including descriptions of violence, beheadings, and dismemberings, that put Kill Bill: Part One to shame. This would have been shocking literature in its day. It was still shocking when C.S. Lewis followed suit in 1944 by having the inhabitants of Perelandra appear as naked as Adam and Eve, without fig leaves. I can only imagine the kind of moral outrage it must have induced in the minds of Puritanical prudes and Victorian moralists, so influential in politics and the arts at the time. I don’t have to imagine too hard. My mother, a typical Victorian prude who hated Hugh Hefner till the day she died, knew all about ERB. When I was in the fifth grade, around ten years old in 1957, I visited with a friend after school one day. My friend’s mother had been an artist for Disney in the days of Fantasia and was the opposite of my mother.

My first recollection of Captain Carter is of the few months he spent at my father's home in Virginia, just prior to the opening of the civil war. I was then a child of but five years, yet I well remember the tall, dark, smooth-faced, athletic man whom I called Uncle Jack. He seemed always to be laughing; and he entered into the sports of the children with the same hearty good fellowship he displayed toward those pastimes in which the men and women of his own age indulged; or he would sit for an hour at a time entertaining my old grandmother with stories of his strange, wild life in all parts of the world.

  • A PRINCESS of MARS by Edgar Rice Burroughs
    A PRINCESS OF MARS by Edgar Rice Burroughs CHAPTER I ON THE ARIZONA HILLS I am a very old man; how old I do not know. Possibly I am a hundred, possibly more; but I cannot tell because I have never aged as other men, nor do I remember any childhood. So far as I can recollect I have always been a man, a man of about thirty. I appear today as I did forty years and more ago, and yet I feel that I cannot go on living forever; that some day I shall die the real death from which there is no resurrection. I do not know why I should fear death, I who have died twice and am still alive; but yet I have the same horror of it as you who have never died, and it is because of this terror of death, I believe, that I am so convinced of my mortality. And because of this conviction I have determined to write down the story of the interesting periods of my life and of my death. I cannot explain the phenomena;I can only set down here in the words of an ordinary soldier of fortune a chronicle of the strange events that befell me during the ten years that my dead body lay undiscovered in an Arizona cave. I have never told this story, nor shall mortal man see this manuscript until after I have passed over for eternity. I know that the average human mind will not believe what it cannot grasp, and so I do not purpose being pilloried by the public, the pulpit, and the press, and held up as a colossal liar when I am but telling the simple truths which some day science will substantiate.

    Tarzan (DC Comics) TARZAN Éditeur : DC Comics Parution : 1972 à 1977 Numéros : 207 à 258 (poursuit la numérotation de la série Tarzan of the Apes de Gold Key). Cette série est marquée par son directeur, le talentueux Joe Kubert. Du 207 au 235, les dessins sont de Kubert lui-même à quelques exceptions près. Jusqu’au 249, c’est un studio sous sa direction qui assure les dessins. On trouve ensuite une autre équipe. Certains numéros sont particuliers, comme le 211 qui remonte des planches de Hogarth ou le 215 avec des dessins d’Hal Foster. On trouve aussi plusieurs numéros avec des planches de Russ Manning remontées, ce que Russ Manning, qui illustrait les planches du dimanche à l’époque, n’a pas du tout aimé. Les numéros 230 à 234 sont des numéros géants avec plusieurs histoires. On trouve aussi quelques histoires complémentaires de John Carter ou Tangor. Ce qu’il faut surtout retenir de cette série, ce sont les adaptations des romans de Burroughs signées Joe Kubert, qui sont les meilleures à ce jour. Tarzan of the Apes, The Return of Tarzan et Tarzan and the Lion Man sont superbes, avec un Tarzan sombre, fort différent de la version plus lisse de Manning.

  • The Portrayal of Patriarchal Oppression Towards Dejah Thoris in the John Carter Movie by Andrew Stanton
    e-ISSN 2549-7715 | Volume 5 | Nomor 2 | April 2021 | Hal: 334—348 Terakreditasi Sinta 4 THE PORTRAYAL OF PATRIARCHAL OPPRESSION TOWARDS DEJAH THORIS IN THE JOHN CARTER MOVIE BY ANDREW STANTON Rudiansyah, Satyawati Surya, Fatimah M. English Department, Faculty of Cultural Sciences Mulawarman University Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Gender inequality between men and women are still having the same core problematic in the real life. This research is aimed to answer the questions about the portrayal of the patriarchal system in the John Carter movie and the influence of patriarchal system towards Dejah Thoris’ life in that movie. This research used two theories, namely Johnson’s Patriarchal theory and Young’s Oppression theory. The method that had been used by the researcher was the qualitative method. The result of this research shows that there are four kinds of patriarchal system. First, men dominate in politic sphere, military and domestic field. Second, men are identified as the leaders who have the ability to control and dominate women. Third, men regularly are involved in any situation and they always become the center of attention in society. Lastly, men character in the movie shows their obsession with control, it proved by their passion to controlling over in wide scale both in private and public sphere. Then, the fact about how Dejah Thoris is the victim of the oppressor that makes her life exploited, marginalized, less of power, forced by cultural imperialism, and treated violently. Despite, she resists to be silent and accept her path as an inferior person, however, she still be taken out and neglected.
