El Regreso De Superman El regreso de Superman Extraido de ZEMOS98 http://www.zemos98.org El regreso de Superman - Blogs - comcinco, "la vida" como forma de vida - Publicado el Domingo 9 de julio de 2006 ZEMOS98 Creative Commons BY 2.5 EspañaZEMOS98 Página 1/3 El regreso de Superman Que os voy a decir que no sepais ya. Dentro de menos de una semana se estrena en España Superman Returns, la nueva y esperada secuela del superheroe por antonomasia de la cultura actual. Superman es el primer superheroe, creado por DC Comics en 1938 por Joel Shuster y Jerry Siegel. Ha sido usado como propaganda estadounidense durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. La propaganda es evidente, solo os teneis que fijar en los colores del traje. Azul y rojo, los mismos que la bandera estadounidense. Vease también los colores del traje de Spiderman, Capitán America o la Mujer Maravilla. Trailer Superman Superman es Kal-el, un recien nacido sacado de su planeta originario por sus padres antes de que este se destruya. Llega a la Tierra y es encontrado por los Kent, que lo adopta y le pone el nombre de Clark Kent. Viven en Smallville donde va descubriendo sus poderes (otorgados por la baja gravedad de la Tierra y la luz del Sol). Cuando mueren sus padres adoptivos Clark se muda a Metrópolis donde trabajar como reportero del Daily Planet y se convierte en Superman para luchar por el bien y la justicia. Después aparece, sin el permiso de los creadores, Superboy. Clark Kent durante su infancia en Smallville descubre sus poderes y decide luchar contra el mal. Como hay un multiverso hay varios Superboy, hay uno que es un clon de Superman, otro que es más poderoso que Superman gracias a Lex Luthor... Si quereis leer como yo todo lo referente a la historia de Superman id a la wikipedia. Cierto es que el artículo no es excesivamente largo pero parece que la historia de Superman no se circunscribe solo al personaje. Porque aparecen decenas y decenas de nuevo conceptos y personajes. Conceptos como multiverso, Tierra-1, Tierra-2, Crisis en Tierras Infinitas, época dorada... Supermanes malos, Lex Luthors buenos, y mundos al revés, personajes como Antimonitor o el Capitán Zanahoria de Tierra-C. Creative Commons BY 2.5 EspañaZEMOS98 Página 2/3 El regreso de Superman Si en las series televisivas, cuando llevan muchas temporadas se pierde el hilo original de la historia (vease Expediente X), cuando una historia tiene 68 años se pierde un poco más el hilo. Además, el mercado del comic es un tanto diferente al resto. En el mundo del comic los lectores tienen el poder de, si eres muy fanático, cambiar el rumbo de la historia o crear historias paralelas, el tema es vender. Trailer Superman returns Como el tema es vender se crea el multiverso. El multiverso es la existencia de muchos universos, universos donde Superman puede ser bueno o malo o, por ejemplo, en Tierra-3, Cristobal Colón es un americano que descubre Europa, Gran Bretaña luchó por independizarse de los Estados Unidos, el presidente John Wilkes Booth fue asesinado por el actor Abraham Lincoln... jejeje si, es cachondo. Existe la serie Otros Mundos donde los guionistas hacen conjeturas acerca de que sería de Superman siendo por ejemplo recogido por la URSS. Incluso los fanáticos de los comics crean sus propios universos cuando descubren algún fallo de guión, por ejemplo para justificar la existencia de Superman Junior y Batman Junior, hijos de Superman y Batman. Existen otras tierras donde los personajes de DC Comics (creadores de Superman, Batman...) y los de Marvel Comics (creadores de X-Men, Spiderman...) conviven. Y otras cuantas más. En cuanto al estreno de la película la semana que viene comentar que existe una web en español donde se cuenta como ha ido el proceso de rodaje de esta última película, de las anteriores, datos históricos, una web muy completa donde solo se habla de Superman, aunque muy mal diseñada jejeje. http://www.terra.es/personal/mbayona/ Otra más, esta vez en inglés, es la Enciclopedia de Superman donde se definen términos que aparecen en los comics y novelas. Esta enciclopedia es parte de una web más grande donde se habla de todo lo publicado por la DC Comics acerca de Superman. Mención especial tiene para mí la serie televisiva de la Warner, Smallville. Smallville es la infancia de Clark Kent en el pequeño pueblo de Kansas. Nunca llega a ser Superboy. Sus aventuras junto a sus amigos Pete Ross, Lana Lang (su amor), Lois Lane, Chloe Sullivan, Lex Luthor y su padre Lionell y un sin fin de "supervillanos" creados a partir de la lluvia de meteoritos que hizo que Kal-el llegara a la Tierra. Mención especial porque me parece una serie muy bien realizada. A veces se volvía ñoña y demasiado adolescente, pero los últimos capítulos vistos, lo de la 5ª temporada han llegado a ser memorables para mí. Espero que disfruten tanto como yo de la película que ahora nos llega. Estoy deseando verla. Ya comentaré que me ha parecido cuando la vea el fin de semana que viene. yeah! Post-scriptum: Para terminar quiero mencionar a Christopher Reeve, actor neoyorkino que dió vida a Superman en 4 ocasiones y que murió en 2004 de un ataque al corazón debido a una paralisis producida por un accidente ecuestre. Christopher creó una fundación con su nombre para ayudar a las personas que sufren paralisis. Su mujer, Dana Reeve, actriz, también murió, en marzo de este año debido a un cancer de pulmón.

According to writers Kelly Souders and Brian Peterson, "Reckoning" had been chosen as the episode's title before the script had been finalized. Karen A. One faction of fans was unhappy with the choice of Jonathan, however, as they would have preferred Lana dying instead. Volume 5 - 1st printing. Alongside E4 broadcasting the new series of the show, Sci-Fi were also broadcasting all the older episodes, which ran all the way up to the end of Season 7. However, the show was not able to afford the special effects to pull the scene off, and so, the sequence was re-written to feature a bus crash. Leslie rated it it was amazing Jun 26, This authorized companion with a stunning page full-color section takes you through Season Four, which achieved the highest ratings of any season! Since then, she has headlined shows like Bitten and the reboot of V. The final version was finished "two-and-a-half [to] three weeks" before production began. It should come as no surprise, then, that Durance was a hit with the viewers and fans and she remains one of the, if not the best incarnation of Lois Lane there ever has been highly contentious though that sentence is.

By Lyndsey Erin Shelton Under the mentorship of Dr. Darin H. Van Tassell ABSTRACT It is a widely accepted notion that a child can only be called stupid for so long before they believe it, can only be treated in a particular way for so long before that is the only way that they know. Why is that notion never applied to how we treat, address, and present religion and the religious to children and young adults? In recent years, questions have been continuously brought up about how we portray violence, sexuality, gender, race, and many other issues in popular media directed towards young people, particularly video games.

  • Custom and Tradition in a Modern Early Banjo Revival
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: NINETEENTH-CENTURY BANJOS IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY: CUSTOM AND TRADITION IN A MODERN EARLY BANJO REVIVAL Greg C. Adams, M.A., 2012 Directed By: Professor J. Lawrence Witzleben, School of Music This thesis demonstrates how members of a modern music revival use the banjo to create a counter narrative to America’s whiteness. Within this revival, nineteenth- century banjos are central to a growing interest in antebellum, early minstrel, and Civil War era music and culture. As researchers, collectors, musicians, and instrument builders pursue this interest, they explore the dissonances of the legacies surrounding slavery, blackface minstrelsy, and the traumas of the American Civil War. Framing this phenomenon within Eric Hobsbawm’s theories of custom and tradition and Thomas Turino’s concepts of habits, socialization, and cultural cohort relationships, I argue that this modern revival supports a form of critical ethnography aimed for advocacy on three fronts—advocacy that challenges marginalizing stereotypes, promotes opportunities to rethink the banjo’s cultural significance as a national instrument of whiteness, and creates greater infrastructure for the knowledge and material culture amassed by members of the banjo community.

An endless black tapestry, dusted with stars, reaches into eternity. Then out of the SILENCE A METEOR SHOWER streaks past. The last fragments of a dead planet hurling through space. Cradled in the center of the maelstrom is a TINY METALLIC CRAFT. A lifeboat from a faraway world, carrying the only survivor of a million-year-old civilization. Its surface shimmers like quicksilver. As the craft hurtles past a familiar yellow sun, its final destination is revealed -- EARTH. SMASH CUT TO: A SEA OF CORNFIELDS stretching as far as the eye can see. The vast golden quilt CREAKS as it sways in time to the soft PERCUSSION of insects. Suddenly, a RUMBLE echoes and a HELICOPTER shoots overhead. Its rotors furiously whip the rows of corn, disrupting the timeless pastoral tranquility. The words "LUTHOR CORP" glint on the craft's metal skin. As the chopper ROARS over the narrow ribbon of blacktop that dissects the field, THE CAMERA STAYS ON the sign that's planted by the roadside. "WELCOME TO SMALLVILLE, KANSAS, POP. 25,001. CREAMED CORN CAPITAL OF THE WORLD!" INT. HELICOPTER - DAY LIONEL LUTHOR /•**- sits in the back, reading The Daily Planet.
