Abstract:
The comic book industry in India began in 1950. Back then leading American comic books like The Phantom, Flash Gordon and Rip Kirby started to be published in India and translated into local languages. Indian youngsters in no time became interested in the new medium, especially in superhero comics known from the American popular culture. The success of these translations encouraged local publishers and cartoonists to create Indian themed comic books, set in India with Indian heroes (and superheroes) − even though Indian comics were still strongly influenced by American ones, mainly in terms of

Abstract From William Byrd’s 18th-century “lubbers” of the North Carolina backcountry through the deviant gun-toting hicks with missing teeth from John Boorman’s survival thriller Deliverance (1972) to Darlene Snell from Netflix’s recent crime drama series Ozark (2016), the stereotype of the “hillbilly” has been one of the most pervasive images in American popular culture. This image has been usually associated with mountaineers inhabiting either the Appalachians or the Ozarks, and it has portrayed them as dirty, lazy, ignorant, often mean, violent and dangerous.

Abstract:
AbstractA secret identity is one of the definitional characteristics of comic-book superheroes. However, American popular literature had been populated by characters with secret identities long before the first superhero comics appeared. The crime-fighting dual-identity vigilantes enjoyed their heyday in the 1930s and 1940s, during the golden era of pulps. Selling usually for 10 cents, pulp magazines were the best source of cheap thrills and heroics. In this era, dozens of costumed avengers appeared and the most popular was undoubtedly The Shadow.

The paper offers a reading of Jason’s use of sparsity, seriousness, and reduction as a concealment of a technique that is based on multifaceted ambiguity involving the blending of genres, a playfully intertextual attitude, and surprising emotional depth of character and story. It discusses the connection between humour and visual, textual, and structural ambiguity in Jason’s works, as well as ambivalence in the reader’s response, illustrates Jason’s combination of incongruous genres and simultaneous employment of motifs from children’s literature and various genre movies (such as science ficti

Abstract:
Webtoon is a popular digital-comic media. For this thesis, I will analyze a thriller Webtoon Bastard because it has a great theme, plot, drawing style, and good reviews. The story focuses on the conflicts between a father (Dongsoo Seon), who is also a murderer, and his son (Jin Seon), which inspires me to take the failure in a father-and-son’s relationship as my topic. Therefore, I want to explore what factors trigger father-and-son’s conflicts and how those factors lead to the failure in the father-and-son’s relationship. I apply the theory of father-and-son’s conflict. I want to show Dongsoo

Abstract:
This essay examines Chester Himes's transformation, in 1957, from a writer of African American social protest fiction into a “French” writer of Harlem crime thrillers. Instead of representing the exhaustion of his political commitment, Himes's transformation from a “serious” writer of didactic fiction into an exiled crime novelist represents a radical change in political and literary tactics. In dialogue with the editor and former surrealist Marcel Duhamel, Himes's crime fiction, beginning with La reine des pommes (now A Rage in Harlem), invents a darkly comic fictional universe that shares an

Abstract:
This article is devoted to analysing humorous strategies and concepts of mental illness representation in contemporary comedy films and television series. It is worth noting that such a study is relevant in Russian discourse, since in the Western scientific literature of the last decade there have been separate interdisciplinary discussions about visualizations of mental pathologies in comedy films. For instance, the comedy film Me, Myself and Irene (2000) and the posters advertising it were subjected to a detailed analysis through the prism of the concept of cultural contextualization of comi

Abstract Mom, What was on the radio before the war started?” one of the homefront girls asked-and hers was not an isolated question. Children’s wartime radio adventure programs were integral to their homefront experiences. So too were their comic books and music, as well as movies, cartoons, and serials, all of which had a memorable impact on these boys and girls. Radio was an important source of their war news, and they came face-to-face with war’s horrors in the newsreels and on the pages of Life magazine. The homefront children have reported that popular culture amplified the impact of the war, causing them to be both thrilled and terrified during the years from 1941 to 1945.

Abstract:
Abstract This chapter outlines the changing order of visuality in Muslim households with the coming of photo albums. While wall-mounted photographs were consecratory in nature, a series of developments displaced this function of photographs. The reform movements questioned the reverence to one’s ancestors, and image-making was understood to be one of the ways in which this reverence was manifested. The coming of cheap cameras in the Gulf displaced the rarity of the photographic occasion. And the coming of photo albums from the Gulf changed the corpothetic engagement with the photographs. Migrant photographs became a media for imposturing, thus deploying it along the axis of narrative and desacralizing its inherent iconicity. The first half of the chapter details the changes in visual culture, while the second half reads a migrant photo to see both its imposturing nature and what it says about the Gulf migrant self-representation in photographs.

Abstract:
This essay examines Daredevil’s positioning in the Marvel Universe as belonging to the super-powered 1 percent but simultaneously representing both the non-super-powered and the economically disadvantaged. Moreover, the figure of Daredevil crystalizes the tensions inherent in the fascination with (and vicarious thrills experienced through) superheroes as special and “different,” a complex relationship mirrored by our social love/hate relationship with the wealthy. Famous for his guilt-ridden moodiness and Hamlet-like uncertainty, Daredevil enacts our own discomfort with feeling less than special in a culture that both resents and hallows those that are.

Abstract:
Abstract Pavlova in Stockholm In the crowd which escorted me when I left the theater, there were people of all stations: men and women belonging to the middle-class bourgeoisie, clerks and workmen, dressmakers’ hands, shop assistants. They were all following my car, silently, and then remained standing in front of my hotel, until I was told that they wished me to show myself on the balcony. As soon as they saw me, they greeted me with a stormy outburst of cheers which, coming after the deep, protracted silence, sounded almost alarming. I bowed my head to them from time to time, and, all of a sudden, they started singing national tunes in my honor. I stood vainly seeking a way of expressing my gratefulness to them. Then an idea struck me. I turned into my room and came back with the wreaths and baskets of flowers which had been handed to me on the stage. But even after I had thrown roses and lilies and violets and lilacs to the crowd, they seemed loath to retire. I was deeply moved and quite embarrassed. I could not help asking my maid, “But what have I done to move them to so great an enthusiasm?”

Abstract:
The opposite of Grant’s farcical comedies were the films in which his character had unsympathetic or sinister traits. Most of these were his pictures with Alfred Hitchcock, who, even in a somewhat comic thriller such as North by Northwest, gave Grant unappealing qualities. The most important examples of Grant’s dark characterizations, however, are Hitchcock’s Suspicion (1941) and Notorious (1946), to which this chapter gives special attention. Grant was an especially important actor for Hitchcock not only because of his glamour and athleticism but also because he could execute the simplest movements with precision. He could play tough, intense characters, and because of his training in pantomime, he could look off-screen in subtly expressive ways that facilitated Hitchcock’s editing schemes.

Abstract:
“I like things to happen when I go out.” When partygoers recount, plan, remember, imagine, idealize, and nostalgically recall a night out partying, they often articulate a desire for something to happen, a yearning for moments of intensity and rupture that make a night out feel special. This chapter investigates how “rough” experience forms a part of nightlife cultures, as well as how partygoers manage its pains and pleasures. A dualism emerges between smooth flow and rough thrills, one that can be found not only in interviews with partygoers but also in the music reviews, recordings, and popular discourses on the minimal-house-techno spectrum. In contrast to psychoanalytic theories of ecstatic self-shattering and radical transformation (such as jouissance and limit-experience), partygoers seeking rough experiences strive for the more modest pleasures of “coming undone”: stretching, unspooling, and snapping back together again.
