This is a fun, quick read with a lot of heart: featuring a villain who likes to play by the rules; his spunky sidekick who, well… doesn't; their "good-guy" arch-nemesis; and an organization of heroes that may be less heroic than it appears.

  • She-Ra and the Princesses of Power As Queer Monomyth
    She-Ra and the Princesses of Power as Queer Monomyth By Paul Thomas* ORCID: 0000-0002-5596-7951 Scheduled to be published as: Thomas, Paul. “She-Ra and the Princesses of Power as Queer Monomyth.” Journal of Popular Culture, vol. 54, no. 5, 2021. Abstract In this essay, the author considers the animated television program She-Ra and the Princesses of Power (2018-20) and argues two main things: First, that the She-Ra reboot can be read as monomythic, and second, that it employs the monomyth while also queering normative understandings of heroic gender and sexuality. The end result is a critical remix that stars a hero—Adora—who can be understood as both queer and monomythic. She-Ra and the Princesses of Power thus stands out from the rest of the pack, serving as a shining example for writers wanting to “rehabilitate” Campbell’s monomyth in our increasingly queer, feminist, and intersectional world. Keywords Gender theory, LGBT, Myth, Popular culture, animation * Paul Thomas is a library specialist at the University of Kansas ([email protected]) as well as a student in the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree program in the School of Library and Information Management, Emporia State University ([email protected]). In 1949, the comparative mythologist Joseph Campbell published The Hero with a Thousand Faces, in which he argued that “the standard path of the … adventure of the hero is a magnification of the formula represented in the rites of passage: separation-initiation-return: which might be named the nuclear unit of the monomyth” (J.

  • LGBTQ+ and Neurodiverse Voices in Transmedia Fiction
    INTERSECTIONAL REPRESENTATION: LGBTQ+ AND NEURODIVERSE VOICES IN TRANSMEDIA FICTION A CREATIVE PROJECT SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE MASTER OF ARTS BY TYNAN DRAKE DR. KEVIN MOLONEY – ADVISOR BALL STATE UNIVERSITY MUNCIE, INDIANA DECEMBER 2020 INTERSECTIONAL REPRESENTATION 2 Abstract Diversity representation in fictional stories is a growing concern for many minority communities, as these representations have a significant impact on how members of these communities are treated by society. Cultural stigmatization of LGBTQ+ and neurodiverse communities has led to repeated misrepresentation in media which harms members of these communities and denies them the agency to define their own experiences. Though fictional narratives written by these communities are beginning to emerge, very few represent the intersectional experiences that common occur between these communities. This paper uses design thinking methods to explore the intersectional experiences of neurodiverse (plural and autistic), queer, and gender nonconforming identities and to prototype a fictional transmedia experience that presents these intersectional experiences in ways that are empowering and return agency to the communities it represents. Keywords: intersectionality, diversity representation, neurodiversity, LGBTQ+, queer, autism, plural identities, transgender, gender nonconforming, Dissociative Identity Disorder, gaslighting, transmedia, fantasy, storytelling INTERSECTIONAL REPRESENTATION 3 Acknowledgements

  • MA How to Make Comics the Successful Way WH.Pdf
    How to Make Comics the Successful Way An Investigation into the Strategies for Successful Comics Creators by William Hill Canterbury Christ Church University Thesis submitted for the Degree of MA by Research 2021 Abstract Success is chiefly viewed as a destination point, often containing no clear direction as to how to arrive, or assurances of when one’s arrival has taken place. House this delicate theme of success amongst the vast genre of comics books and several questions occur: “What is success?” “Who has previously been successful?” “How did they gain success?” “What are the proven routes to success?” This study explores the different methods to find success within the comics industry, these methods included classical approaches such as periodical comics and newspaper strips as well as the more contemporary avenues such as self-publishing & web-comics. To gain a solid understanding and context of the commercial aspect of the business, first the study reviews the history of the comics industry. This is followed by an analysis of the definition and essential components of the comic book, to achieve a better understanding of the structure and classification of comics and, therefore, their intrinsic value as a product. The rise of the digital revolution, recent developments in technologies and web2.0 have not only contributed to expanding areas of production, distribution and fandom recognition, but also to implement innovative ideas and projects. This has led to the expansion of both profitable potentials and perilous pitfalls. To analyse the implications of these new means of creation and distribution, themes such as Communities, Pitfalls of the Internet Age and Crowdfunding have been explored.

  • She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, Seasons 1-5
    MEDIA REVIEWS She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, Seasons 1-5 Adam McLain SHE-RA AND THE PRINCESSES OF POWER. Seasons 1-5. DreamWorks Animation, Netflix, 2018-2020. Riding the success of the He-Man and the Masters of the Universe show and toy line (1982– 1988), the children’s toy company Mattel sought to capitalize on its sword and sorcery moment by introducing a female-focused toy line, Princess of Power, centered around He-Man’s sister—Adora in her human form, She-Ra in her empowered form. From 1985 to 1987, She-Ra fought the Evil Horde, its leader Hordak, and her nemesis Catra through twenty-two action figures, thirteen comics, several children’s books, and a two-season animated cartoon series created by J. Michael Straczynski and Larry DiTillio. Throughout the ensuing thirty years, Adora/She-Ra would appear numerous times in toy lines and cameos, but she would never be as popular—nor, one could say, as marketed—as her brother, Adam/He-Man. In 2017, Netflix and DreamWorks Animation announced their plans to reboot the franchise as She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, with Noelle Stevenson, an award-winning author, helming the project as executive producer and showrunner. This move came as part of a series of repackaging of old intellectual property for new audiences (e.g., DreamWorks/Netflix’s Voltron: Legendary Defender). As showrunner, Stevenson chose to pay homage to the past show while inventing a new future for it and for animated fantasy children’s shows. Stevenson’s direction chose to focus on diversity and representation, reimagining all the characters to portray more LGBTQ+ characters and characters of color onscreen.
