Book Synopsis The Routledge Companion to Gender and Sexuality in Comic Book Studies by : Frederick Luis Aldama
Download or read book The Routledge Companion to Gender and Sexuality in Comic Book Studies written by Frederick Luis Aldama and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-08-17 with total page 1007 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge Companion to Gender and Sexuality in Comic Book Studies is a comprehensive, global, and interdisciplinary examination of the essential relationship between Gender, Sexuality, Comics, and Graphic Novels. A diverse range of international and interdisciplinary scholars take a closer look at how gender and sexuality have been essential in the evolution of comics, and how gender and sexuality in comics demand that we re-frame and re-view comics history. Chapters cover a wide array of intersectional topics including Queer Underground and Alternative comics, Feminist Autobiography, re-drawing disability, Latina testimony, and re-evaluating the critical whiteness and masculinity of superheroes in this first truly global reference text to gender and sexuality in comics. Comics have always been an important place for the radical exploration of feminist and non-binary sexualities and identities, and the growth of non-normative comic book traditions as a field of inquiry makes this an essential text for upper-level undergraduates, postgraduates, and researchers studying Comics Studies, Women’s and Gender Studies, Literary Studies, and Cultural Studies.

Download or read book Gore Capitalism written by Sayak Valencia and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2018-04-20 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An analysis of contemporary violence as the new commodity of today's hyper-consumerist stage of capitalism. “Death has become the most profitable business in existence.” —from Gore Capitalism Written by the Tijuana activist intellectual Sayak Valencia, Gore Capitalism is a crucial essay that posits a decolonial, feminist philosophical approach to the outbreak of violence in Mexico and, more broadly, across the global regions of the Third World. Valencia argues that violence itself has become a product within hyper-consumerist neoliberal capitalism, and that tortured and mutilated bodies have become commodities to be traded and utilized for profit in an age of impunity and governmental austerity. In a lucid and transgressive voice, Valencia unravels the workings of the politics of death in the context of contemporary networks of hyper-consumption, the ups and downs of capital markets, drug trafficking, narcopower, and the impunity of the neoliberal state. She looks at the global rise of authoritarian governments, the erosion of civil society, the increasing violence against women, the deterioration of human rights, and the transformation of certain cities and regions into depopulated, ghostly settings for war. She offers a trenchant critique of masculinity and gender constructions in Mexico, linking their misogynist force to the booming trade in violence. This book is essential reading for anyone seeking to analyze the new landscapes of war. It provides novel categories that allow us to deconstruct what is happening, while proposing vital epistemological tools developed in the convulsive Third World border space of Tijuana.
Download or read book Angola Janga written by Marcelo D'Salete and published by Fantagraphics Books. This book was released on 2019-06-12 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An independent kingdom of runaway slaves founded in the late 16th century, Angola Janga was a beacon of freedom in a land plagued with oppression. In stark black ink and chiaroscuro panel compositions, D’Salete brings history to life; the painful stories of fugitive slaves on the run, the brutal raids by Portuguese colonists, and the tense power struggles within this precarious kingdom. At turns heartbreaking and empowering, Angola Janga sheds light on a long-overlooked moment of resistance against oppression.
Book Synopsis Artistic Utopias of Revolt by : Julia Ramírez Blanco
Download or read book Artistic Utopias of Revolt written by Julia Ramírez Blanco and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-03-13 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses the aesthetic and utopian dimensions of various activist social movements in Western Europe since 1989. Through a series of case studies, it demonstrates how dreams of a better society have manifested themselves in contexts of political confrontation, and how artistic forms have provided a language to express the collective desire for social change. The study begins with the 1993 occupation of Claremont Road in east London, an attempt to prevent the demolition of homes to make room for a new motorway. In a squatted row of houses, all available space was transformed and filled with elements that were both aesthetic and defensive – so when the authorities arrived to evict the protestors, sculptures were turned into barricades. At the end of the decade, this kind of performative celebration merged with the practices of the antiglobalisation movement, where activists staged spectacular parallel events alongside the global elite’s international meetings. As this book shows, social movements try to erase the distance that separates reality and political desire, turning ordinary people into creators of utopias. Squatted houses, carnivalesque street parties, counter-summits, and camps in central squares, all create a physical place of these utopian visions
Download or read book Waking Life written by Richard Linklater and published by . This book was released on 2020-01-20 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transcending the boundaries of technology and imagination, "Waking Life" is a revolutionary breakthrough in film animation - now as a graphic novel. In "Waking Life," Wiley Wiggins ("Dazed and Confused") travels through a series of encounters and observations in a world that may or may not be reality. It is this surreal existence, flourishing with endless ideas and possibilities, that ultimately leads to the question - Are we sleep-walking through our waking state or wake-walking through our dreams? By the way, this project is an art experiment attempt to turn a cult movie into a comic book, because Waking Life is the first great film work that combines pioneering rotoscoping with sophisticated and deep philosophical content, a difficult journey to accompany in the movie to those who are not accustomed. At least in comic book format, we can read and digest all those fantastic ideas more slowly and unhurriedly. Good reading.

Book Synopsis Brazilian Evangelicalism in the Twenty-First Century by : Eric Miller
Download or read book Brazilian Evangelicalism in the Twenty-First Century written by Eric Miller and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-05-09 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past fifty years Brazil’s evangelical community has increased from five to twenty-five percent of the population. This volume’s authors use statistical overview, historical narrative, personal anecdote, social-scientific analysis, and theological inquiry to map out this emerging landscape. The book’s thematic center pivots on the question of how Brazilian evangelicals are exerting their presence and effecting change in the public life of the nation. Rather than fixing its focus on the interior life of Brazilian evangelicals and their congregations, the book’s attention is directed toward social expression: the ways in which Brazilian evangelicals are present and active in the common life of the nation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Feminism has changed the world; it is radically reshaping women’s lives. But what about men? They still hold most of the power in the economy, in government, in religions, in the media and often in the family too. At the same time, many men are questioning traditional views about what it means to be a man. Others resent the gains women have made and want to turn back the clock. Nikki van der Gaag asks the question: how might feminism improve the lives of men as well as women? And is there a place for men in the feminist story?

Download or read book Men and Development written by and published by Zed Books Ltd.. This book was released on 2012-09-13 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A wide-ranging volume featuring contributions from some of today's leading thinkers and practitioners in the field of men, masculinities and development. Together, contributors challenge the neglect of the structural dimensions of patriarchal power relations in current development policy and practice, and the failure to adequately engage with the effects of inequitable sex and gender orders on both men's and women's lives. The book calls for renewed engagement in efforts to challenge and change stereotypes of men, to dismantle the structural barriers to gender equality, and to mobilize men to build new alliances with women's movements and other movements for social and gender justice.
Book Synopsis The Art of Flying by : Antonio Altarriba
Download or read book The Art of Flying written by Antonio Altarriba and published by Random House. This book was released on 2015-05-07 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When published in 2009, The Art of Flying was hailed as a landmark in the history of the graphic novel in Spain for its deeply touching synthesis of individual and collective memories. A deeply personal testament, Altarriba’s account of what led his father to commit suicide at the age of ninety is a detective novel of sorts, one that traces his father’s life from an impoverished childhood in Aragon, to service with Franco’s army in the Civil war, escape to join the anarchist FAI, exile in France when the Republicans are defeated, to return to Spain in 1949 and the stultifying existence to which Republican sympathisers were consigned under Francoism. The Art of Flying is immensely moving and vivid, beautifully drawn by Kim. It was highly praised in Spain on first publication, where it was compared to Art Spiegelman’s Maus. It went on to win six major prizes, including the 2010 National Comic Prize.
Book Synopsis A Predatory Mind by : Martin Hill Ortiz

Book excerpt: Eight intelligent people are locked in an abandoned library. One is a murderer. They believe they can identify the killer using reason. They believe if they don't take risks, they will be safe. They are wrong. In the 1890's, Nikola Tesla created an invention that let him inside the mind of the psychotic killer known as Henry H. Holmes. To his horror, Tesla not only read Holmes's thoughts, he received part of his personality. More than a century later, unprincipled scientist Dr. Gordon Rickert is recruited to replicate Tesla's research. Before long, Rickert and his colleagues unwittingly resurrect a long dead evil. To undo the damage, they agree to lock themselves in together. As they are picked off, one by one, the investigators must determine who among them is harboring a predatory mind.
