Along the way, too many people to mention have directly and indirectly impacted us with their generous comments, stimulating ideas, suggestions, and feedback. Nonetheless, we would like to begin with very special thanks to Gillian Leslie at Edinburgh University Press for her interest and support in pub- lishing what is essentially a very weird book. You are a star. The journey to EUP involved help from many readers and recom- menders, and these include (in alphabetical order) Erick Felinto, Donna J. Haraway, Dominic C. James, Akira Mizuta Lippit, Laura U. Marks, Bill Marshall, David Martin-Jones, Dan Mellamphy, Patricia Pisters, Claudio Rossi, Eugene Thacker, C. Derick Varn, Cary Wolfe, and our anonymous peer reviewers at EUP. Many thanks to all of these for their courtesy, time, and informative feedback, as well as to Eliza Wright at EUP. Simultaneous to the book’s plasmatic peregrinations, we have also been performing Kinoteuthis in the flesh as we have prepared for publi- cation. To this end, we would like to extend a huge thanks to Christine Daigle and Terrance McDonald, whose invitation to attend the inau- gural Posthumanisms Research Network workshop, “Expressions and Images of the Posthuman,” allowed us to road-test work in progress with a range of interdisciplinary thinkers at Brock University, includ- ing Nandita Biswas Mellamphy, Lukas Brasiskis, Russell Kilbourn, and Anna Mirzayan. Various of our eight limbs would also like to thank (again, in alpha- betical order) Andrés Bartolomé Leal, Wendy Bednarz, Celestino Deleyto, Andrew deWaard, Kelli Fuery, Graeme Harper, Seung-hoon Jeong, Angelos Koutsourakis, Lars Kristensen, Maja Manojlovic, and Michael Witt, for inviting us to present aspects of this work at research seminars at (from C to Z) Chapman University (funded by Erasmus Mundi), New York University Abu Dhabi, Oakland University, the University College 66281_Brown281_Brown & FFleming.inddleming.indd vviiii 225/03/205/03/20 112:432:43 PPMM viii THE SQUID CINEMA FROM HELL of Skövde, the University of California Los Angeles, the University of Leeds, the University of Roehampton, and the University of Zaragoza (funded by Erasmus+). Thanks must also be extended to Stacey Abbott, Radhika Aggarwal, María del Mar Azcona, Caroline Bainbridge, Alice Bardan, Anita Biressi, Robert Burgoyne, Dennis Chua, Enrica Colusso, Julia Echeverría, Luis Miguel García Mainar, Pablo Gómez, Chris Home- wood, Deborah Jermyn, Amos Katz, Aleksandr Krawec, Gillian McIver, Murray Pomerance, Judith Rifeser, Jamie Rogers, Tova Shaban, Gauti Sigthorsson, Eddie Troy, Jamie Uy, and Hunter Vaughan for their inter- actions and hospitality in and around these sessions. Thanks equally to the organizers of and delegates at various of the recent Film-Philosophy conferences, especially in Edinburgh (2016), Lancaster (2017), Gothenburg (2018), and Brighton (2019), as well as at La filosofia, il castello e la torre in Ischia in 2018. Across these events, we received valuable feedback on work that now appears in the pages that fol- low. Special mention here to Anna Backman Rogers, Lucy Bolton, Mashya Boon, Mark Cauchi, John Caruana, George Crosthwait, David Deamer, Elena del Río, Pansy Duncan, Steven Eastwood, Matthew Holtmeier, Joseph Jenner, Laurence Kent, Dario Llinares, Raffaele Mirelli, John Ó Maoilearca, Agnieszka Piotrowska, Chiara Quaranta, Timna Rauch, Richard Rushton, David Sorfa, Francesco Sticchi, Catherine Wheatley, and Dan Yacavone, among many others. We would also like to thank Adam Knee for forming panels on Scar- lett Johansson, respectively with four and then all eight of our limbs, at the Shanghai Theatre Academy (2014) and the University of Nottingham Ningbo China (2015). Likewise to Clifton Evers, who formed a panel with us for the Screen Conference on Animals and Animality at the University of Glasgow back in 2015, and whose ideas have invariably polluted ours. Meanwhile, we are also indebted to Paul Martin, who worked with four of our limbs on an ill-fated interdisciplinary article that remains to emerge in print. Some of the material and research used for this unpublished piece have, with Paul’s permission, gained a repurposed afterlife in Chapter 2— and these parts wouldn’t have been half as good were it not for their ludic past. Those same four limbs would also like to thank Melissa Brown for bouncing around ideas in a shared office, and for gifting us with beautiful octopus artwork. We would also like to thank Rory Perrott for his concept art, which was inspired by the book’s gestation, and which we have used during various presentations and performances around the world since. DHF would expressly like to thank Mira for her unbending love and support . and for enduring so many weird tentacle films during the production of this book. Thanks also to David and Moira, Michael and 66281_Brown281_Brown & FFleming.inddleming.indd vviiiiii 225/03/205/03/20 112:432:43 PPMM ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ix Ellen, Ruth and Kenny, Maurice and Anouk, and the wider Fleming clan. Special shout to the Porty Sharks too. Finally, to Phaedra and Tarran, my thunder and lightning. WJRCB would also like expressly to thank Mila Zuo for reading draft work, engaging in discussions, and bearing moans, with credit also due to the Brown, Bullen, and Cambola clans, together with various other friends. Once you become “the guys doing the squid book,” others send to you pretty much everything they encounter on cephalopods, including films, books, articles, and clickbait. Some clickbait aside, this is a wonder- ful experience, and so thanks to all of those who have helped to add to our film- and bibliographies (most are named above, but this is also a “sorry if we’ve forgotten you” moment). Once we get going on the media and mud project that will follow Kinoteuthis Infernalis (tentatively titled Here’s Mud in Your Eye!), surely infinite recommendations are to follow. FYI, parts of Chapter 7 originally appeared as David H. Fleming and William Brown, “Through a (First) Contact Lens Darkly: Arrival, Unreal Time and the Chthulucene,” in Film-Philosophy, 22:3 (2018), pp. 340–363. Finally, we know that this book is a bit crazy. And we’ll not say out- right to what extent its contents constitute a metaphor or a weird reality that we believe in (the more accurate answer is both).

  • Complexity in the Comic and Graphic Novel Medium: Inquiry Through Bestselling Batman Stories
    Complexity in the Comic and Graphic Novel Medium: Inquiry Through Bestselling Batman Stories PAUL A. CRUTCHER DAPTATIONS OF GRAPHIC NOVELS AND COMICS FOR MAJOR MOTION pictures, TV programs, and video games in just the last five Ayears are certainly compelling, and include the X-Men, Wol- verine, Hulk, Punisher, Iron Man, Spiderman, Batman, Superman, Watchmen, 300, 30 Days of Night, Wanted, The Surrogates, Kick-Ass, The Losers, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, and more. Nevertheless, how many of the people consuming those products would visit a comic book shop, understand comics and graphic novels as sophisticated, see them as valid and significant for serious criticism and scholarship, or prefer or appreciate the medium over these film, TV, and game adaptations? Similarly, in what ways is the medium complex according to its ad- vocates, and in what ways do we see that complexity in Batman graphic novels? Recent and seminal work done to validate the comics and graphic novel medium includes Rocco Versaci’s This Book Contains Graphic Language, Scott McCloud’s Understanding Comics, and Douglas Wolk’s Reading Comics. Arguments from these and other scholars and writers suggest that significant graphic novels about the Batman, one of the most popular and iconic characters ever produced—including Frank Miller, Klaus Janson, and Lynn Varley’s Dark Knight Returns, Grant Morrison and Dave McKean’s Arkham Asylum, and Alan Moore and Brian Bolland’s Killing Joke—can provide unique complexity not found in prose-based novels and traditional films.

That was the message of the American Association of School Librarians (AASL), a division of the American Library Association, national longitudinal survey, School Libraries Count!, conducted between January 24 and March 4, 2012. The annual sur- vey collected data on filtering based on responses to fourteen questions ranging from whether or not their schools use filters, to the specific types of social media blocked at their schools. AASL survey The survey data suggests that many schools are going beyond the requirements set forth by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in its Child Internet Protection explores Act (CIPA). When asked whether their schools or districts filter online content, 98% of the respon- dents said content is filtered. Specific types of filtering were also listed in the survey, filtering encouraging respondents to check any filtering that applied at their schools. There were in schools 4,299 responses with the following results: • 94% (4,041) Use filtering software • 87% (3,740) Have an acceptable use policy (AUP) • 73% (3,138) Supervise the students while accessing the Internet • 27% (1,174) Limit access to the Internet • 8% (343) Allow student access to the Internet on a case-by-case basis The data indicates that the majority of respondents do use filtering software, but also work through an AUP with students, or supervise student use of online content individually.

Volume by volume, I'm making my way through Urasawa's Master Keaton series. A marked difference from his Monster is the episodic nature of this series. In the vast majority of its chapters, Keaton's adventures are stand-alone and can be appreciated outside of the context of the others. In some way, that's a strength of this title. On the other hand, I tend to appreciate more the longer-form stories involving Keaton, the ones that last two, three, or more segments.

  • 3 Feet High and Rising”--De La Soul (1989) Added to the National Registry: 2010 Essay by Vikki Tobak (Guest Post)*
    “3 Feet High and Rising”--De La Soul (1989) Added to the National Registry: 2010 Essay by Vikki Tobak (guest post)* De La Soul For hip-hop, the late 1980’s was a tinderbox of possibility. The music had already raised its voice over tensions stemming from the “crack epidemic,” from Reagan-era politics, and an inner city community hit hard by failing policies of policing and an underfunded education system--a general energy rife with tension and desperation. From coast to coast, groundbreaking albums from Public Enemy’s “It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back” to N.W.A.’s “Straight Outta Compton” were expressing an unprecedented line of fire into American musical and political norms. The line was drawn and now the stage was set for an unparalleled time of creativity, righteousness and possibility in hip-hop. Enter De La Soul. De La Soul didn’t just open the door to the possibility of being different. They kicked it in. If the preceding generation took hip-hop from the park jams and revolutionary commentary to lay the foundation of a burgeoning hip-hop music industry, De La Soul was going to take that foundation and flip it. The kids on the outside who were a little different, dressed different and had a sense of humor and experimentation for days. In 1987, a trio from Long Island, NY--Kelvin “Posdnous” Mercer, Dave “Trugoy the Dove” Jolicoeur, and Vincent “Maseo, P.A. Pasemaster Mase and Plug Three” Mason—were classmates at Amityville Memorial High in the “black belt” enclave of Long Island were dusting off their parents’ record collections and digging into the possibilities of rhyming over breaks like the Honey Drippers’ “Impeach the President” all the while immersing themselves in the imperfections and dust-laden loops and interludes of early funk and soul albums.

There are secondary plot lines in two of the stories about comics, the comic industry, and the challenges to comics over the years. These jokes will probably go over the heads of younger readers, but they should get enough to find them funny. Inserts between comic Treehouse of Horror: Dead Mans Jest allow Bart time to tell readers how to craft a great haunted house or which candy to avoid. These are funny and add a touch of MAD Magazine to the whole book. Simpsons comics tend to circulate until they fall apart, so libraries will be happy to know that the binding for this oversized graphic novel feels tight and sturdy.
