  • Alan Moore's Miracleman: Harbinger of the Modern Age of Comics
    Alan Moore’s Miracleman: Harbinger of the Modern Age of Comics Jeremy Larance Introduction On May 26, 2014, Marvel Comics ran a full-page advertisement in the New York Times for Alan Moore’s Miracleman, Book One: A Dream of Flying, calling the work “the series that redefined comics… in print for the first time in over 20 years.” Such an ad, particularly one of this size, is a rare move for the comic book industry in general but one especially rare for a graphic novel consisting primarily of just four comic books originally published over thirty years before- hand. Of course, it helps that the series’ author is a profitable lumi- nary such as Moore, but the advertisement inexplicably makes no reference to Moore at all. Instead, Marvel uses a blurb from Time to establish the reputation of its “new” re-release: “A must-read for scholars of the genre, and of the comic book medium as a whole.” That line came from an article written by Graeme McMillan, but it is worth noting that McMillan’s full quote from the original article begins with a specific reference to Moore: “[Miracleman] represents, thanks to an erratic publishing schedule that both predated and fol- lowed Moore’s own Watchmen, Moore’s simultaneous first and last words on ‘realism’ in superhero comics—something that makes it a must-read for scholars of the genre, and of the comic book medium as a whole.” Marvel’s excerpt, in other words, leaves out the very thing that McMillan claims is the most important aspect of Miracle- man’s critical reputation as a “missing link” in the study of Moore’s influence on the superhero genre and on the “medium as a whole.” To be fair to Marvel, for reasons that will be explained below, Moore refused to have his name associated with the Miracleman reprints, so the company was legally obligated to leave his name off of all advertisements.

Signature Date: 17/12/2020 ii iii ABSTRACT Since the development of the superhero genre in the late 1930s it has been a contentious area of cultural discourse, particularly concerning its depictions of gender politics. A major critique of the genre is that it simply represents an adolescent male power fantasy; and presents a world view that valorises masculinist individualism.

  • Globalization and Performance of Place by Andreas Otte
    The music in Greenland and Greenland in the music Globalization and performance of place By Andreas Otte This research has been financed by the Commission for Scientific Research in Greenland (KVUG) Abstract The history of Greenlandic music is one of cross-local interconnectedness. Styles and trends have evolved as a result of globalization, but there is a significant trend amongst popular music artists in Greenland to perform a sense of local and national identity in their music, and to produce music that is relevant to a na- tional context. Through a look at how musical styles have evolved in Greenland, and how popular music trends have changed over time, in this article, I trace the presence of a broadly acknowledged repertoire of sounds and lyrical themes for performing place in music. Through a discussion of the role of place in music that draws on Massey’s ‘global sense of place’ (1994), I suggest that in music, places are best understood as meeting points, and that place as meeting point is in some form or another always noticeable in music. I furthermore argue that place in music is often connected to local contexts both by drawing on locally de- veloped particularity, but also by being affected by the history of globalization in local places. 2 The music in Greenland and Greenland in the music Globalization and performance of place Andreas Otte This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Navngivelse-IkkeKommerciel 3.0 Unported License.

  • Nyhedsbrev 3 2017
    SEPTEMBER - 2017 NYT FRA GRØNLANDS REPRÆSENTATION I KØBENHAVN 'Nap' - Bryggen Nordpå med Ambassadørerne I sidste nyhedsbrev fortalte vi om en kommende ambassadørrejse til Grønland. Den store ambassadørrejse er nu afsluttet. 4 dage i starten af sommeren, var jeg som Repræsentationschef ledsager for 17 ambassadørers rejse til Grønland. Følgende landes ambassadører deltog; Armenien, Tjekkiet, Letland, Ungarn, Kina, Spanien, Portugal, Irland, Holland, Brasilien, Bangladesh, Belgien, Rumænien, Korea, Georgien, Australien. Arrangørerne var udenrigsministeriets protokol, selvstyrets protokol samt Grønlands repræsentation i København. Rejsen startede i Københavns Lufthavns kongeport og værelse, hvorfra der var en særlig bus som bragte os til Air Greenland. I lokalet var der mulighed for at mødes, glædes og få kaffe, herunder gennemgik UM nogle praktiske informationer om rejsen. Det var tydeligt at mærke at, ambassadørerne var spændte på at komme til Grønland. Der var en forventning til nogle interessante oplevelser. Air Greenlands Airbus var stuvende fyldt, bl.a. var der en stor gruppe turistrejsende fra Kina, som glædede den Kinesiske ambassadør, og han talte med de to guider som ledsagede gruppen. Det var turister som skulle til Kangerlussuaq og videre med skib derfra, i deres grønlandsfærd. Jeg sad selv ved siden af den georgiske ambassadør og én af de PET folk som ledsagede os under hele rejsen, her fik jeg interessante historier om Georgien, et land som grænser op til Rusland, Tyrkiet, Armenien, Aserbajdsjan og endelig til Sortehavet. Jeg lyttede til sproget, som er helt særegent, og tales af de 4,5 mio indbyggere. Der er bjerge med sne og skiområder, mens landbrug er hovederhvervet, inkl. vinproduktion. Dette fik jeg endda en smagning på ved vores sejltur til Ilimanaq senere.
