Marvel's Black Widow from Spy to Superhero
Author: Sherry Ginn
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476627169
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 186
Book Description
First appearing in Marvel Comics in the 1960s, Natasha Romanoff, a.k.a. Black Widow, was introduced to movie audiences in Iron Man 2 (2010). Her character has grown in popularity with subsequent Marvel films, and fans have been vocal about wanting to see Black Widow in a titular role. Romanoff has potent appeal: a strong female character who is not defined by her looks or her romantic relationships, with the skill set of a veteran spy first for the KGB, then for S.H.I.E.L.D. This collection of new essays is the first to examine Black Widow and her development, from Cold War era comics to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Innovation in the Media
Author: Francisco J. Pérez-Latre
Publisher: Media XXI
ISBN: 9897292446
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 505
Book Description
The media are at the end of a cycle and at the beginning of a new model that is still unpredictable. For decades, the industry enjoyed solid profits, a certain tranquillity and clear rules. The presence of high barriers to entry hindered the progress of competitors and several key markets were, in fact, oligopolies. This book tells how a stable industry was buffeted by winds that seriously threatened its essential pillars. Free access and Internet development caused a dramatic drop of the value of the contents. The public could often find information and entertainment at no cost, therefore beginning to move away from the media that were poorly differentiated and predictable in terms of subjects and approaches. The authors do not restrict themselves to writing a chronicle of those transformations: they deepen the causes and propose solutions. In their view, companies in the sector have lacked the discipline necessary to keep pace with innovation, adapt to change and make learning a constant and priority activity. The industry needs better leaders, managers with vision, who can take risks and break the monotonous cycle of systematic imitation of success formulas that already belong to the past.

The Shakespearean International Yearbook
Author: Brett Hirsch
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351963406
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 287
Book Description
This eighth volume of The Shakespearean International Yearbook presents a special section on 'European Shakespeares', proceeding from the claim that Shakespeare's literary craft was not just native English or British, but was filtered and fashioned through a Renaissance awareness that needs to be recognized as European, and that has had effects and afterlives across the Continent. Guest editors Ton Hoenselaars and Clara Calvo have constructed this section to highlight both how the spread of 'Shakespeare' throughout Europe has brought together the energies of a wide variety of European cultures across several centuries, and how the inclusion of Shakespeare in European culture has been not only a European but also a world affair. The Shakespearean International Yearbook continues to provide an annual survey of important issues and developments in contemporary Shakespeare studies. Contributors to this issue come from the US and the UK, Spain, Switzerland and South Africa, Canada, The Netherlands, India, Portugal, Greece, France, and Hungary. In addition to the section on European Shakespeares, this volume includes essays on the genre of romance, issues of character, and other topics.

Shakespeare and YouTube
Author: Stephen O'Neill
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1472500288
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
The video-sharing platform YouTube signals exciting opportunities and challenges for Shakespeare studies. As patron, distributor and archive, YouTube occasions new forms of user-generated Shakespeares, yet a reduced Bard too, subject to the distractions of the contemporary networked mediascape. This book identifies the genres of YouTube Shakespeare, interpreting them through theories of remediation and media convergence and as indices of Shakespeare's shifting cultural meanings. Exploring the intersection of YouTube's participatory culture – its invitation to 'Broadcast Yourself' – with its corporate logic, the book argues that YouTube Shakespeare is a site of productive tension between new forms of self-expression and the homogenizing effects of mass culture. Stephen O'Neill unfolds the range of YouTube's Bardic productions to elaborate on their potential as teaching and learning resources. The book importantly argues for a critical media literacy, one that attends to identity constructions and to the politics of race and gender as they emerge through Shakespeare's new media forms. Shakespeare and YouTube will be of interest to students and scholars of Shakespearean drama, poetry and adaptations, as well as to new media studies.
