Abstract:

With the worldwide popularity of magical girls portrayed in Japanese magical girl anime, such as Card Captor Sakura and Maiden Warriors, magical girls have become a cultural symbol and have developed into an industry. The daily magical girl anime has not only become popular in Japan and around the world, successfully exporting elements of Japanese culture, but has also become commercially successful, making huge economic profits for those involved in the industry through the sale of derivatives and other means.Chinese cultural industry workers have also imitated Japanese magical girl anime but

Abstract:

This study analyzes the deconstruction of the heroism myth in Puella Magi Madoka Magica through the lens of Lacanian psychoanalysis and Roland Barthes' Mythologies theory. The primary issue addressed in this research is how the series' narrative dismantles the traditional heroism myth commonly associated with the magical girl genre through the character arcs of Sayaka Miki and Kyouko Sakura. The research questions focus on how Lacan’s psychoanalytic stages are reflected in the development of Sayaka and Kyouko, as well as how the myth of heroism in the series is reproduced and deconstructed thr

Abstract:

The magical girl, a popular genre of Japanese television animation, has provided female ideals for young girls since the 1960s. Three waves in the genre history are outlined, with a focus on how female hero figures reflect the shifting ideas of gender roles in society. It is argued that the genre developed in close connection to the culture ofshōjo(female adolescence) as an antithesis to adulthood, in which women are expected to undertake domestic duties. The paper then incorporates contexts for male-oriented fan culture ofshōjoand anime aesthetics that emerged in the 1980s. The recent tendenc

Abstract:

Following the success of Cartoon Network’s Steven Universe there has been an explosion of openly queer representation in US children’s animated television through programmes such as She-Ra and the Princesses of Power and The Owl House (2020–present), among others. The majority of these programmes follow trends seen in Steven Universe. These queer-inclusive children’s programmes tend to exist within the sci-fi/fantasy genre, visually reference Japanese anime, focus on female queer identity and attract adult fan bases in addition to young audiences. These factors can be accounted for, at least i

Abstract:

In Queer Milton, Volume 10 (2014) of Early Modern Culture, and the subsequent Palgrave collection, queer studies and gender studies scholars argue that intersections of knowledge and power trouble cultural assumptions about sex and gender and, in fact, make a strong case for queering readings of Milton’s poem. Building on this critical thread, we trace the queer pop culture adaptation of Paradise Lost. A narrative of queer desire develops, we argue, culminating in contemporary examples such as Lil Nas X’s video for ‘Montero (Call Me By Your Name)’, and the Netflix shows Lucifer and Sandman. Wh

ABSTRACT: The year 1980 marks a distinctive change and exciting renewal in the general development of post-war Icelandic fiction. An obsessive preoccupation with rural nostalgia and urban malaise gradually gives way to a decidedly anti-realist fiction which celebrates the wonders of everyday day life in the city. The term magical realism is often used in this context, and indeed, there can be little doubt that the Icelandic translation of Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s One Hundred Years of Solitude in 1978 constituted an important influence on writers during this period.

Outside this narrative context, however, Madoka Magica has developed into a vibrant array of media products, including manga, video games, character merchandising and cross-promotional brand marketing, with little to no reference in these products to the dark c

Abstract A reflection on the different forms that violence against women takes in militarized societies like that in Assam in Northeast India. A young girl living with an abusive father is married off to an abusive husband. Like other women living with quotidian violence, she devises coping mechanisms: often the lines between reality and fantasy become blurred. The unbearable burden of a life abused (and its grim ending) can be made bearable only through recourse in the unreal and the magical.

Juxtaposing the portrayal of the recruitment of female bodies and affects into the defense of the sovereign with the historical context of Imperial Japan, this article elaborates how the series captures the sovereign violence that creates biopolitical subjects in everyday life. It then illustrates how the series appropriates and subverts the genre conventions of the magical girl (mahō shōjo) anime through Giorgio Agamben’s idea of bare life and the state of exception.

While Nović explores identities and borders within the history of the former Yugoslavia, Hamid brings modern issues, including violence, surveillance, and borders, into a hypothetical world.

Abstract:

The charming world of fairy tales used to be, for many ages, the favorite world for readers of fiction. Until the moment, these magical tales, their adventurous journeys, and happy endings provide a vital source of enchanting entertainment. Throughout her literary career, Angela Carter (1940-1992), a contemporary British novelist and a short story writer, shows interest in the employment of fairy tales in her works, producing what is called modern fairy tales. Her rewriting of these tales rendered her a remarkable woman advocate who calls for women’s legitimate rights and an appreciation and a

Abstract:

The article studies the early silent cinema motif of disappearance or invisibility of bodies in a frame. In adventure and adventure-fantasy films, this motif performs a whole set of functions. Using the example of several films, I uncover its rich semantic potential. Further on, the mythological origins of the motif are analyzed, as are the role of theater, circus, attraction and fairy tale in the prehistory of the diegetic disappearing. Attention is paid to the aesthetics of the trick in Georges Méliès’ films, where the condition and location of the vanishing body remain uncertain. Narrative

Abstract:

This article focuses on the silence of a fairy tale hero, i. e. a deliberate withholding from speaking that is a metonymic manifestation of a symbolic death. The aim of the study was to determine the meanings of silence that are representative of this type of narration and to indicate their probable mythical and ritual connotations. Research materials included mainly Polish and Eastern Slavic tales of a sister whose silence constitutes a precondition for bringing her brothers, previously turned into birds, back into human form. The analysis showed the use of a semantic component essential to s

The paper analyzes the neo-mythopoetics of the Donbass storyteller of the late twentieth century, Alexander Litvinov (Veni Drkin), who works in the post-bard style. Using a comparative methodology, the preservation and translation of folklore plots and images in postmodern culture is investigated using the example of fairy tale "About Snow White". It is shown that several cultural spaces are integrated in the text: archaic fairy-tale, rocker, modern to the author profane household, thieves and otherworldly.

The tale "How the bus traveled", the plot of which is built as a story about the journey of a personalized image of the bus, is notable for its expressive cognitive purpose. From an ecological point of view, the real topos of Kolomyia, Prut, and the imaginary routes of the old bus are also important.

In this paper, I analyze the animated television series Puella Magi Madoka Magica based on a variety of literary critical methods: neo-noir criticism, feminist epistemology and studies of technoscience, and discussion of utopia/dystopia imagination. My focus is on the depiction of desire and hope, as two interconnected but potentially conflicting concepts, in Madoka Magica which presents different philosophical edifices related to them as one central narrative tension. On the other hand, the feminist methods I utilize will demonstrate how the “genre subversion” the series introduce can be read
