Book Synopsis Ambiguity in »Star Wars« and »Harry Potter« by : Christina Flotmann
Download or read book Ambiguity in »Star Wars« and »Harry Potter« written by Christina Flotmann and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2014-03-31 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study combines theories of myth, popular culture, structuralism and poststructuralism to explain the enormous appeal of »Star Wars« and »Harry Potter«. Although much research already exists on both stories individually, this book is the first to explicitly bring them together in order to explore their set-up and the ways in which their structures help produce ideologies on gender and ethnicity. Hereby, the comparison yields central insights into the workings of modern myth and uncovers structure as integral to the success of the popular genre. It addresses academic audiences and all those wishing to approach the tales from a fresh angle.
Book Synopsis Comics and Videogames by : Andreas Rauscher
Download or read book Comics and Videogames written by Andreas Rauscher and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-10-18 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers the first comprehensive study of the many interfaces shaping the relationship between comics and videogames. It combines in-depth conceptual reflection with a rich selection of paradigmatic case studies from contemporary media culture. The editors have gathered a distinguished group of international scholars working at the interstices of comics studies and game studies to explore two interrelated areas of inquiry: The first part of the book focuses on hybrid medialities and experimental aesthetics "between" comics and videogames; the second part zooms in on how comics and videogames function as transmedia expansions within an increasingly convergent and participatory media culture. The individual chapters address synergies and intersections between comics and videogames via a diverse set of case studies ranging from independent and experimental projects via popular franchises from the corporate worlds of DC and Marvel to the more playful forms of media mix prominent in Japan. Offering an innovative intervention into a number of salient issues in current media culture, Comics and Videogames will be of interest to scholars and students of comics studies, game studies, popular culture studies, transmedia studies, and visual culture studies.

Book Synopsis Is Star Trek Utopia? by : Sebastian Stoppe
Download or read book Is Star Trek Utopia? written by Sebastian Stoppe and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2022-07-14 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Star Trek has transcended science fiction through its use of elements that have crucial roles in classical utopian tradition. New technologies change a civilization, a miniature society unfolds on a spaceship, and an android teaches humanity. Star Trek has been answering many questions about our own world for 50+ years, and since the days of Captain Kirk, the franchise has become one of the world's best-known cultural phenomena. This book documents what the Star Trek franchise has in common with classic utopias. Chapters analyze how technology changes society and how the Federation embodies utopian ideals. Also explored are the political relations among alien species that reflect past and present conflicts in our real world and how the Borg resembles an anti-utopian society.

Book Synopsis Virtuelle und ideale Welten by : Ulrich Gehmann
Download or read book Virtuelle und ideale Welten written by Ulrich Gehmann and published by KIT Scientific Publishing. This book was released on 2012 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technik und technischer Wandel zählen zu jenen Faktoren, die unser (all-)tägliches Leben entscheidend prägen. Dieser Sachverhalt dürfte in unserem technischen Zeitalter kaum einer besonderen Begründung bedürfen. Es liegt auf der Hand, dass die Menschheit von Technik und technischem Fortschritt abhängig geworden ist, und dies nicht erst in unserer Zeit. Seit jeher war es der Technik entwickelnde und zielgerichtet einsetzende Mensch, der vermittels ,seiner' Technik Lebensräume gestaltete, veränderte, revolutionierte, oder auch zerstörte. Unglaublicher Wohlstand auf der einen, aber auch bitterste Armut auf der anderen Seite waren dabei mögliche Konsequenzen, die der technische Wandel hervorzubringen vermochte. Die Einsicht, dass technischer Wandel als gesellschaftliches Phänomen zu interpretieren sei, uns technische Zukunftsentwürfe gerade auch gesellschaftliche Zukunftsentwürfe darstellten, vermochte sich hingegen erst langsam Bahn zu brechen.

Book Synopsis Interacting with Babylon 5 by : Kurt Lancaster
Download or read book Interacting with Babylon 5 written by Kurt Lancaster and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book makes a significant contribution to the growing body of scholarship surrounding the participatory communities--i.e. fandoms--that surround cult television shows and films. . . . It will cut across disciplines, finding a readership among sociologists, anthropologists, media scholars, and performance scholars, as well as among fans and lay readers." --Henry Jenkins, author of Textual Poachers: Television Fans and Participatory Culture Much of the pleasure of science fiction and fantasy stems from the genres' ability to transport fans into imaginary worlds that often feel more "real" than ordinary life. This pioneering book uses the insights of performance theory to explore how fans of the television show Babylon 5 actively immerse themselves in its imaginary environment by role-playing games and fan fiction, through which the fans perform--make real--fantasies they previously watched on television. Kurt Lancaster opens with a background analysis of Babylon 5, including creator-producer J. Michael Straczynski's online interaction with fans. Then he thoroughly examines the performance aspects of all the participatory media surrounding the show--the role-playing game, collectable card game, war game, CD-ROM "guidebook," fan fiction, and web pages. His use of performance theory offers a new way of understanding the enormous popularity of imaginary entertainment environments and the fandom surrounding other popular sites of science fiction and fantasy, including Star Trek, Star Wars, and J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth.
Download or read book Blood Rites written by Barbara Ehrenreich and published by Twelve. This book was released on 2020-01-07 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Notable BookAn ALA Notable Book "Original and illuminating." --The Washington Post What draws our species to war? What makes us see violence as a kind of sacred duty, or a ritual that boys must undergo to "become" men? Newly reissued in paperback, Blood Rites takes readers on an original journey from the elaborate human sacrifices of the ancient world to the carnage and holocaust of twentieth-century "total war." Ehrenreich sifts deftly through the fragile records of prehistory and discovers the wellspring of war in an unexpected place -- not in a "killer instinct" unique to the males of our species, but in the blood rites early humans performed to reenact their terrifying experiences of predation by stronger carnivores. Brilliant in conception and rich in scope, Blood Rites is a monumental work that continues to transform our understanding of the greatest single threat to human life.

Book Synopsis Ökonomische Utopien by : Franziska Bechtel
Download or read book Ökonomische Utopien written by Franziska Bechtel and published by Neofelis Verlag. This book was released on 2015-06-24 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hat utopisches Denken einen Platz in der Ökonomik? In welchem Verhältnis stehen utopische Entwürfe in der Kunst und wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Theoriebildung? Ökonomische Utopien untersucht die spezifische Rolle ökonomischer Theorie und Praxis im utopischen Diskurs der Moderne – und umgekehrt: die Spuren utopischen Denkens in der Ökonomik seit Beginn einer im modernen Sinn als kapitalistisch zu bezeichnenden Wirtschaftsweise. Wie facettenreich die Beziehungen zwischen Utopie und Ökonomie tatsächlich sind, zeigt das breite thematische Spektrum, das von den Autorinnen und Autoren aus Kultur-, Sozial- und Wirtschaftswissenschaften verhandelt wird: Es reicht von anarchokommunistischen Öko-Utopien der Gegenwartsliteratur bis zu Maschinenmenschen in der Malerei, von ökonomisch-utopischen Diskursen in der Populärkultur bis zu den Ideen des kybernetischen Sozialismus, von der philosophischen Reflexion des Glücksspiels als inner- und gegenkapitalistische Utopie bis hin zur Diskussion utopischer Dimensionen heutiger neoklassischer Wirtschaftstheorie. Die Beiträge zeigen, wie pragmatische und normative Motivationen bei der Entwicklung alternativer Wirtschaftsentwürfe ineinander greifen und dass es sich bei ökonomischen Utopien auch um lokale, individuelle, momentane Strategien handeln kann, die der durch Rationalität und Lohnarbeit gekennzeichneten Realität alternative Lebensentwürfe entgegenhalten.
