    "The first sustained study of the DC Comics Multiverse, this book explores its history, meanings, and lasting influence. The multiverse is a unique exercise in world-building: a series of parallel and interactive worlds with a cohesive cosmology, developed by various creators over more than fifty years. In examining DC's unique worlds and characters, the book illustrates the expansive potential of a multiverse, full of characters, histories, geographies, religions, ethnographies, and more, and allowing for expressions of legacy, multiplicity, and play that have defined much of DC Comics' output. It shows how a multiverse can be a vital, energizing part of any imaginary world, and argues that students and creators of such worlds would do well to explore the implications and complexities of this world-building technique. Andrew J. Friedenthal has crafted a ground-breaking, engaging and thoughtful examination of the multiverse, of interest to scholars and enthusiasts of not just comics studies, but also the fields of media studies and imaginary world studies."--

    "The Golden Age of Comics (roughly the late 1930s through the 1950s) saw the birth and rapid growth of the industry, but unfortunately and unsurprisingly the role of women was often problematic during this period. Few women creators worked in comics, and those that did frequently worked anonymously or under pseudonyms and were subject to workplace harassment and discrimination. Similarly, female characters were often poorly presented and framed in a sexualized fashion. Although some elements of this history have been told piecemeal there hasn't yet been a comprehensive look at women in comics during this period. Brunet and Davis examine female creators and characters across a broad range of genres to create a historical narrative of representation and culture that goes beyond previous scholarship"--

    "Charles Schulz's Peanuts was an unexpectedly political comic strip. While many people have come to identify Charlie Brown, Linus, Lucy, Peppermint Patty, and Snoopy with childhood and innocence, Peanuts regularly commented on the politics and social turmoil of Cold War America. From nuclear testing to the Civil Rights Movement, from the Vietnam War to the feminist revolution, Peanuts was an unlikely medium for Americans of all stripes to debate the hopes and fears of the era. Charlie Brown's America is the story of how the creation of one midwestern man became one of the most influential pop culture properties of the twentieth century and what its popularity reveals about the character of the United States"--

    "Fans and scholars have long regarded the 1980s as a significant turning point in the history of comics in the U.S. The decade saw titles such as Art Spiegelman's "Maus", Frank Miller's "Batman: The Dark Knight Returns", and Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons's "Watchmen" celebrated by both readers and critics alike, even attracting the attention of prominent publications including the "New York Times," the "Atlantic," and "Rolling Stone." Three decades later, most of the critical discussion of the period still focuses on these three books and their creators, eclipsing the work of others who also played a key role in shaping comics as we know them today. With twenty essays covering a diverse array of material, "The Other 1980s: Reframing Comics' Crucial Decade" offers a more complicated and multivalent picture of this remarkably robust era of ambitious comics publishing. Many of the works considered in this volume were hailed as innovative and groundbreaking in their day, but they have fallen to the wayside, in some cases because they do not easily square with the dominant tendencies in comics studies. Instead, "The Other 1980s" illuminates works that prove far more unwieldy, though no less interesting: open-ended serials that do not translate neatly to the graphic novel format beloved by literature departments; sprawling superhero narratives with no connection to corporate superhero universes; offbeat and abandoned experiments by major publishers, including Marvel and DC, to reach new audiences; idiosyncratic and experimental independent comics; unusual genre exercises filtered through deeply personal sensibilities; and oft-neglected offshoots of the classic "underground" comics movement of the 1960s and 1970s. The contributors also offer original and enlightening examinations of the ways in which the fans and critics of the day engaged with creators and publishers and laid the groundwork for much of the contemporary critical and academic discourse on comics. By uncovering comics and creators long ignored by comics studies, "The Other 1980s" offers a more nuanced understanding of the context from which the iconic works of the 1980s emerged and revises conventional histories of this major period in comics"--

    The Vignes twin sisters will always be identical. But after growing up together in a small, southern black community and running away at age sixteen, it's not just the shape of their daily lives that is different as adults, it's everything: their families, their communities, their racial identities. Ten years later, one sister lives with her black daughter in the same southern town she once tried to escape. The other secretly passes for white, and her white husband knows nothing of her past. Still, even separated by so many miles and just as many lies, the fates of the twins remain intertwined. What will happen to the next generation, when their own daughters' story lines intersect?Weaving together multiple strands and generations of this family, from the Deep South to California, from the 1950s to the 1990s, Brit Bennett produces a story that is at once a riveting, emotional family story and a brilliant exploration of the American history of passing. Looking well beyond issues of race, The Vanishing Half considers the lasting influence of the past as it shapes a person's decisions, desires, and expectations, and explores some of the multiple reasons and realms in which people sometimes feel pulled to live as something other than their origins

    "During the pitched battle over slavery in the United States, Black writers-enslaved and free-allied themselves with the cause of abolition and used their art to advocate for emancipation and to envision the end of slavery as a world-historical moment of possibility. They borrowed from the European tradition of Romanticism-its lyric poetry, prophetic visions-to write, speak, and sing their hopes for what freedom might mean. Authors like Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, George Moses Horton, Albery Allson Whitman, and Joshua McCarter Simpson conceived the Civil War as a revolutionary upheaval on par with Europe's stormy Age of Revolutions"--

Whilst readers recognise the Manual's legal and strategic importance, they may question whether particular statements of law are legally accurate or complete. This book offers a unique in-depth review of the complete Manual, including revisions, on a paragraph-by-paragraph, line-by-line and word-by-word basis. The authors offer their personal assessment of the DoD's declared view as to the law that regulates the conduct of warfare, a subject of unparalleled current importance. William H. Boothby and Wolff Heintschel von Heinegg offer a balanced, articulate and authoritative critique for readers perusing the Manual in whatever capacity" - (Umschlagtext)

  19. Rock star - movie star

    "During the mid-1950s, when Hollywood found itself struggling to compete within an expanding entertainment media landscape, certain producers and studios saw an opportunity in making films that showcased performances by rock 'n' roll stars. Such stars eventually found cinema to be a useful space to extend their creative practices, and the motion picture and recording industries increasingly saw cinematic rock stardom as a profitable means to connect multiple media properties. Indeed, casting rock stars for film provided a tool for bridging new relationships across media industries and practices. This book examines the casting rock stars in films from Elvis Presley to Madonna. In so doing, Rock Star/Movie Star offers a new perspective on the role of stardom within the convergence of media industries. While hardly the first popular music culture to see its stars making the transition to screen, the timing of rock's emergence and its staying power within popular culture proved fortuitous for a motion picture business searching for its place in the face of continuous technological and cultural change. At the same time, a post-star-system film industry provided a welcoming context for rock stars who have valued authenticity, creative autonomy, and personal expression. This book uses illuminating archival resources to demonstrate how rock stars have often proven themselves to be prominent film workers exploring this terrain of platforms old and new - ideal media laborers whose power lies in the fact that they are rarely recognized as such. Combining star studies with media industry studies, this book shows how stars have operated as both an organizational center for media production as well as social actors who have taken on a decisive role in the purposes to which their images are used"

    "The initial publication of The Great White Way was and remains the first and only book-length investigation into the ways in which race and ethnicity have shaped the American musical over the course of the twentieth century up through today. In addition to the musicals mentioned above, the book contains analyses of Tony Award-winning shows A Chorus Line, 42nd Street, and The Will Rogers Follies, as well as an examination of the role of casting practices in the musical, particularly the phenomenon of African American and interracial productions of Broadway musicals. Now updated to include a discussion of the blockbuster musicals Hamilton and The Book of Mormon, as well as other developments of the musical in recent years, The Great White Way provides both lovers of the musical and academics with a probing looking at the ways in which issues of race and ethnicity shape this all-American art form." This second edition will reflect new developments that have occurred in the world of the Broadway musical in recent years. Chapter four will be revised and an entire new chapter will be added about smash hits The Book of Mormon and Hamilton, which are both incredibly important when analyzing race and the Broadway musical. Hoffman will also include a new Afterword that will bring the book up to the 21st century and elaborate on what is happening off-Broadway as well"--

    For the last fifty years, discussion of 1950s science fiction cinema has been dominated by the view that the genre reflected US paranoia about Soviet brainwashing and the nuclear bomb. However, classic films, such as Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956) and It Came from Outer Space (1953), were regularly exported to countries across the world. The histories of their encounters with foreign audiences have not yet been told. Science Fiction Cinema and 1950s Britain begins this task by recounting the story of 1950s British cinema-goers and the aliens and monsters they watched on the silver screen. Drawing on extensive archival research, Matthew Jones makes an exciting and important intervention in the field by locating 1950s American science fiction films alongside their domestic counterparts in their British contexts of release and reception.

    This new collection of J. Hillis Miller’s essays centres on the question “why and to what end should we read, teach, and spend our time with literary and/or cultural studies?” At a time when electronic media seem to dominate the market completely, and jobs follow the money flows into electronic and technical fields, literary and cultural studies might appear as a decorative addenda but not really necessary for the process of growth and development, neither in business nor in the area of personal development. This question is not really new, it has many facets, requires differentiated answers which depend and mirror the political and cultural climate of a society.
