Wonder Women and Bad Girls
Author: Valerie Estelle Frankel
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476641633
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
Wonder Woman, Harley Quinn, Shuri, and Black Widow. These four characters portray very different versions of women: the superheroine, the abuse victim, the fourth wave princess, and the spy, respectively. In this in-depth analysis of female characters in superhero media, the author begins by identifying ten eras of superhero media defined by the way they portray women. Following this, the various archetypes of superheroines are classified into four categories: boundary crossers, good girls, outcasts, and those that reclaim power. From Golden Age comics through today's hottest films, heroines have been surprisingly assertive, diverse, and remarkable in this celebration of all the archetypes.

what seemed to be a regular Thursday afternoon for rapper/jacker, Dexter "Psycho" Quick, turned into a tune that was hard to dance to. A drive-by shooting on a dice game turned friends into enemies and enemies into friends as a convoluted plot introduced a chain link effect on strangers and associates alike. Follow Psycho through his conflicts of love, lifestyle and mental afflictions that write the theme music of his life. A melody that could very well have us all nodding our heads in unison... until the music fades out.

Batman
Author: Matt Yockey
Publisher: Wayne State University Press
ISBN: 0814338186
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 162
Book Description
Offers a fresh understanding of the persistent popularity and ongoing value of the original Batmanseries. ABC's action-comedy series Batman(1966–68) famously offered a dual address in its wildly popular portayal of a comic book hero in a live action format. Children uncritically accepted the show's plots and characters, who were guided by lofty ideals and social values, while adults reacted to the clear parody of the values on display. In Batman,author Matt Yockey argues that the series served as a safe space for viewers to engage with changing attitudes about consumerism, politics, the Vietnam war, celebrity, race, and gender during a period when social meaning was increasingly contested in America. Yockey examines Batman's boundary pushing in four chapters. In "Bat-Civics," he analyzes the superhero as a conflicted symbol of American identity and considers the ways in which the Batman character parodied that status. Yockey then looks at the show's experimentation with the superhero genre's conservative gender and racial politics in "Bat-Difference" and investigates the significance of the show's choices of stars and guest stars in "Bat-Casting." Finally, he considers how the series' dual identity as straightforward crime serial and subversive mass culture text set it up for extratextual production in "Bat-Being." The superhero is a conflicted symbol of American identity—representing both excessive individualism and the status quo—making it an especially useful figure for the kind of cultural work that Batman undertook. Batman fans, from popular culture enthusiasts to television history scholars, will enjoy this volume.
