Ecology and Science Fiction
b Contemporary
visions of the future have been shaped by hopes and fears about the effects of
human technology and global capitalism on the natural world. In an era of
climate change, mass extinction, and oil shortage, such visions have become
increasingly catastrophic, even apocalyptic. Exploring the close relationship
between science fiction, ecology, and environmentalism, the essays in Green
Planets consider how science fiction writers have been working through this
crisis. Beginning with H. G. Wells and passing through major twentieth-century
writers like Ursula K. Le Guin, Stanislaw Lem, and Thomas Disch to contemporary
authors like Margaret Atwood, China Miéville, and Paolo Bacigalupi—as well as
recent blockbuster films like Avatar and District 9—the essays in Green Planets
consider the important place for science fiction in a culture that now seems to
have a very uncertain future. The book includes an extended interview with Kim
Stanley Robinson and an annotated list for further exploration of “ecological
SF” and related works of fiction, nonfiction, films, television, comics,
children’s cartoons, anime, video games, music, and more.
Contributors include Christina Alt, Brent Bellamy, Sabine Höhler,

a Meiner Carsten ,The Cultural
Life of Catastrophes and Crises
b Catastrophes and
crises fascinate as much as they terrorize. The common goal of the articles
collected in this book is to investigate the ways in which catastrophes (real
or fictitious) have provided film, art and literature with a historical, if not
universal, matrix for exploring the frailty of human existence, the passions
they trigger and the new behavioral modes they necessitate. The book thus
argues that film, art, and literature are privileged and essential ways of
understanding what catastrophes are, what they do to us, and how we can deal
with them.

Green Themes in Animated Cinema and Television.
B This book takes
an ecrocritical approach to analytical readings of animated feature films,
short subjects and television shows. Beginning with the "simply
subversive" environmental messages in the Felix the Cat cartoons of the
1920s, the author examines "green" themes in such popular animated
film efforts as Bambi (1942), The Simpsons Movie (2007), Wall-E (2008) and
Happy Feet (2008), as well as James Cameron's live action/animation blockbuster
Avatar (2009). The discussion extends beyond American films to include the
works of Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki, including the Oscar-winning Spirited
Away (2002). Also evaluated for their pro-ecological content are the television
cartoon series South Park and Futurama. The appendix provides a list of film
and television titles honored with the Environmental Media Award for Animation.

Pat, Smart
Cinema, DVD Add-Ons and New Audience Pleasures
b Smart movies
broadly encapsulate what have been described as a reflexive and playful
postmodern tendency and are augmented by the specific attributes of
contemporary new digital media. These new attributes are drawn from video games
and music videos in particular, as well as other new generational e-pleasures
and tastes. Pat Brereton examines a broad range of post-1990s Indie and
mainstream films that break many of the old classic linear narrative and
generic rules which helped to define Hollywood and its alternative 'art'
cinema. This work particularly explores how bonus features attached to smart
DVDs are capable of speaking to new generational audiences. There is a
continuing need for a creative and critical dialogue with new generations of
students and audiences to help reinvigorate the study of film. DVD add-ons
provide a useful bridge between new media and conventional film study, while
assisting in exploring how new generational film fans relate to smart cinema.

Johnson , Diversity in Disney Films Critical Essays on Race, Ethnicity, Gender,
Sexuality and Disability
b Although its
early films featured racial caricatures and exclusively Caucasian heroines,
Disney has, in recent years, become more multicultural in its filmic fare and
its image. From Aladdin and Pocahontas to the Asian American boy Russell in Up,
from the first African American princess in The Princess and the Frog to
"Spanish-mode" Buzz Lightyear in Toy Story 3, Disney films have come
to both mirror and influence our increasingly diverse society. This essay
collection gathers recent scholarship on representations of diversity in Disney
and Disney/Pixar films, not only exploring race and gender, but also drawing on
perspectives from newer areas of study, particularly sexuality/queer studies,
critical whiteness studies, masculinity studies and disability studies.
Covering a wide array of films, from Disney's early days and "Golden
Age" to the Eisner era and current fare, these essays highlight the social
impact and cultural significance of the entertainment giant.

a Telotte.J.P, Animating Space
From Mickey to WALL-E.
b Animators work
within a strictly defined, limited space that requires difficult artistic
decisions. The blank frame presents a dilemma for all animators, and the
decision of what to include and leave out raises important questions about
artistry, authorship, and cultural influence. In Animating Space: From Mickey
to WALL-E, renowned scholar J. P. Telotte explores how animation has confronted
the blank template, and how responses to that confrontation have changed.
Focusing on American animation, Telotte tracks the development of animation in
line with changing cultural attitudes toward space and examines innovations
that elevated the medium from a novelty to a fully realized art form. From
Winsor McCay and the Fleischer brothers to the Walt Disney Company, Warner
Bros., and Pixar Studios, Animating Space explores the contributions of those
who invented animation, those who refined it, and those who, in the current
digital age, are using it to redefine the very possibilities of cinema.

a Murray Bobin.L ,
That’s
All Folks? Ecocritical Readings of American Animated Features.
B Although some
credit the environmental movement of the 1970s, with its profound impact on
children’s television programs and movies, for paving the way for later
eco-films, the history of environmental expression in animated film reaches
much further back in American history, as That’s All Folks? makes clear.
Countering the view that the contemporary environmental movement—and the
cartoons it influenced—came to life in the 1960s, Robin L. Murray and Joseph K.
Heumann reveal how environmentalism was already a growing concern
in animated films of the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s. From Felix the Cat
cartoons to Disney’s beloved Bambi to Pixar’s Wall-E and James
Cameron’s Avatar, this volume shows how animated features with
environmental themes are moneymakers on multiple levels—particularly as
broad-based family entertainment and conveyors of consumer products. Only Ralph
Bakshi’s X-rated Fritz the Cat and R-rated Heavy Traffic and Coonskin,
with their violent, dystopic representation of urban environments, avoid this
total immersion in an anti-environmental consumer market.
Showing us enviro-toons in their cultural and historical contexts, this
book offers fresh insights into the changing perceptions of the relationship
between humans and the environment and a new understanding of environmental and
animated cinema.

a Kasischke Laura,
Lilies
Without
b "She has,
like all good poets, created a music of her own, one suited to her concerns.
When denizens of the 22nd century, if we get there, look back on our era and
ask how we lived, they will take an interest both in the strangest
personalities who gave their concerns verbal form, and in the most
representative. The future will not—should not—see us by one poet alone. But if
there is any justice in that future, Kasischke is one of the poets it will
choose.” —Boston Review
“Kasichke’s poems are powered by a skillful use of
imagery and the subtle, ingenious way she turns a phrase.” —Austin
American-Statesman
Laura Kasischke in her own words: "I realized while ordering and
selecting the poems for this collection that much of my more recent work
concerns body parts, dresses, and beauty queens. These weren't conscious
decisions, just the things that found their way into my poems at this
particular point in my life, and which seem to have attached to them a kind of
prophetic potential. The beauty queens especially seemed to crowd in on me, in
all their feminine loveliness and distress, wearing their physical and
psychological finery, bearing what body parts had been allotted to them. For
some time, I had been thinking about beauty queens like Miss Michigan, but also
the Rhubarb Queen, and the Beauty Queens of abstraction—congeniality. And
then—Brevity, Consolation for Emotional Damages, Estrogen—all these feminine
possibilities to which I thought a voice needed to be given."
Laura Kasischke is the author of six books
of poetry, including Gardening in the Dark (Ausable Press, 2004) and Dance
and Disappear (winner of the 2002 Juniper Prize), and four novels. Her work
has received many honors, including the Alice Fay Di Castagnola Award from the
Poetry Society of America, the Beatrice Hawley Award, the Pushcart Prize, and
the Elmer Holmes Bobst Award for Emerging Writers. She teaches at the
University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.

bringing together chapters that are concerned both with the relationship
between performance, music and film and the specificity of national,
historical, social, and cultural contexts, Film’s Musical Moments will be of
equal importance to students of film studies, cultural studies and music. The
book is organised into four sections: ‘Music, Film, Culture’ focuses on cinema
representations of music forms; ‘Stars, Performance and Reception’ explores
stars, fan cultures and intertextuality; ‘The Post-Classical Hollywood Musical’
considers the importance of popular music to contemporary cinema; and ‘Beyond
Hollywood’ looks to specific national contexts. Chapters include jazz and
animation, the Country and Western biopic, cult musicals and fandom, the
importance of the soundtrack movie, and musicals from the former East Germany.

a Dougill John, In Search of
Japan’s Hidden Christians A Story of Suppression, Secrecy and Survival.
B From the time
the first Christian missionary arrived in Japan in 1549 to when a nationwide
ban was issued in 1614, over 300,000 Japanese were converted to Christianity. A
vicious campaign of persecution forced the faithful to go underground. For
seven generations, Hidden Christians?or Kirishitan?preserved a faith that was
strictly forbidden on pain of death. Illiterate peasants handed down the
Catholicism that had been taught to their ancestors despite having no Bible or
contact with the outside world.
Just as remarkably, descendants
of the Hidden Christians continue to this day to practice their own
religion, refusing to rejoin the Catholic Church. Why? And what is it about
Christianity that is so antagonistic to Japanese culture? In Search of Japan's Hidden Christians
is an attempt to answer these questions. A journey in both space and time, In Search of Japan's Hidden Christians
recounts a clash of civilizations?of East and West?that resonates to this day,
and offers insights about the tenacity of belief and unchanging aspects of
Japanese culture.

a Hoglund Johan, The American
Imperial Gothic Popular Culture, Empire, Violence
b The imagination
of the early twenty-first century is catastrophic, with Hollywood blockbusters,
novels, computer games, popular music, art and even political speeches all
depicting a world consumed by vampires, zombies, meteors, aliens from outer
space, disease, crazed terrorists and mad scientists. These frequently gothic
descriptions of the apocalypse not only commodify fear itself; they articulate
and even help produce imperialism. Building on, and often retelling, the
British ‘imperial gothic’ of the late nineteenth century, the American imperial
gothic is obsessed with race, gender, degeneration and invasion, with the
destruction of society, the collapse of modernity and the disintegration of
capitalism.Drawing on a rich array of texts from a long history of the gothic,
this book contends that the doom faced by the world in popular culture is
related to the current global instability, renegotiation of worldwide power and
the American bid for hegemony that goes back to the beginning of the Republic
and which have given shape to the first decade of the millennium. From the
frontier gothic of Charles Brockden Brown's Edgar Huntly to the apocalyptic
torture porn of Eli Roth's Hostel, the American imperial gothic dramatises the
desires and anxieties of empire. Revealing the ways in which images of
destruction and social upheaval both query the violence with which the US has
asserted itself locally and globally, and feed the longing for stable imperial
structures, this book will be of interest to scholars and students of popular
culture, cultural and media studies, literary and visual studies and sociology.

only complete extant Latin novel, the Metamorphoses, in which a young man is
turned into a donkey by magic. Apuleius uses drama, especially comedy, as a
basic underlying texture, and invites his readers to use their knowledge of
contemporary drama in interpreting the fate of his protagonist and the often
comic or tragic situations in which he finds
himself. May employs a close study of the Latin text and detailed
comparison with the corpus of dramatic texts from antiquity, as well as
discussion of stock features of ancient drama, especially of comedy, in order
to explain some features of the novel which have so far baffled Apuleian
scholarship, including the
enigmatic ending. All Latin and Greek has been translated into English.
- ;May's thorough study does much to ground Apuleius in the intellectual world
of the Second Sophistic and draws welcome attention to the many dramatic
intertexts, especially within the Metamorphoses. - Niall W. Slater,
Scholia;May's merit is to have made a detailed survey and to have extended the
intertextual analysis to the genre of mime - Lucia Pasetti, Bryn Mawr Classical
Review;"May has raised a number of issues, not least of which is the way
we define Greco-Roman drama in general and evaluate New Comedy in particular.
May reinforces the case that Apuleius both confirms and confounds the roles of
an apparently familiar stage cast of comic, farcical, tragic and paratragic
characters. It is testament to the excellence of May's book that Apuleian
scholars will dwell and draw upon her methodology and her conclusions in the
continuing conversations they conduct
and publish upon the Metamorphoses."

Expectations : Children Reading Writing.
B The first two
sections of this work consider two questions: what does children's writing
reveal about their reading experience and competence?; and how can teachers
help children to become more careful and critical readers of their own and
other people's writing?. In the third section these questions are placed in a
theoretical frame which tackles some of the more fundemental issues of culture,
language diversity and gender, the relationship between oracy and literacy and
how best to help children for whom literacy is a struggle. The final section
gives some practical guidance for developing a full and successful literacy
curriculum.

a Nexon, Daniel H, Harry Potter
and International Relations
B Why not take
seriously the claim that Harry Potter's world intertwines with our own? In this
timely yet otherworldly volume, more than a dozen scholars of international
relations join hands to demonstrate how this well-loved artifact of popular
culture reflects and shapes our own lifeworld. A wide range of historical and
sociological sources shows how Harry's world contains aspects of our own.
Practices such as quidditch dovetail quite clearly with 'muggle' sports, and
the very British-ness of the books has, in translation into languages such as
Turkish and Arabic, been transformed to reflect these unique cultures. Chapters
on the political economy of the franchise as well as the scholarly problems of
studying popular culture frame what is essentially a highly info-taining read.

a Hatchuel, Sarah,
Shakespeare and the Cleopatra/Caesar Intertext Sequel, Conflation, Remake
b Is William
Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra a sequel to the earlier Julius Caesar? If
this question raises issues of authorship and reception, it also interrogates
the construction of dramatic sequels: how does a playtext ultimately become the
follow-up of another text? This book explores how dramatic works written before
and after Shakespeare's time have encouraged us to view Shakespeare's Julius
Caesar and Antony and Cleopatra as strongly interconnected plays, encouraging
their sequelization in the theater and paving the way toward the filmic
conflations of the twentieth century. Uniquely blending theories of literary
and filmic intertextuality with issues of race and gender, and written by an
experienced author trained both in early modern and film studies, this book can
easily find its place in any syllabus in Shakespeare or in media studies, as
well as in a wide range of cultural and literary courses.

a Conradie, Marthinus, Anonymous vs.
acknowledged intertexts: A
relevance theoretic approach to intertextuality in print advertising.
b This article
offers a relevance theoretic (RT) analysis of intertextuality in print
advertisements, focusing on cases in which adverts make intertextual references
to texts from mass media genres other than advertising as part of an effort to
link the advertised product with these intertexts
for commercial purposes. On the basis of Wilson and Sperber's (2004)
conceptualisation of informative and communicative intentions in inferential
communication, as well as Crook's (2004) contention that creating links of the
above-mentioned nature represents a common strategy in contemporary adverting,
the article pays specific attention to the degree to which an advert provides
consumers with grounds on which to infer that the communicator intends to make
a specific intertext relevant to
the advert's meaning. To illustrate the results of the analyses, the article
compares two case studies that contain strong evidence for the exact source of
the advert's intertextual references, with two others in which intertextual
references may derive from more than one source, none of which are specified in
the advert's content.

b Abstract: In promoting the
necessary consolidation of the discipline, text linguistics has supplanted the
linguistics of languages, as well as language linguistics. For indeed, text
linguistics is the branch which makes it possible to integrate the significant
contribution of corpus linguistics. In addition, the text has been acknowledged
as the main grounds for articulation bewteen internal descriptions –
particularly syntactic descriptions –, and external descriptions – particularly
pragmatic descriptions. The conception of the text as elaborated within the
framework of interpretive semantics is compatible with textometric models and
tools. In particular, the assisted characterization of passages enables one to
portray textual activity as transformation chains, also known as metamorphisms,
as much within the text as within the intertext
gathered by the corpus. In order to characterize such transformations, some
examples may be provided, namely passages which have been rewritten in a work’s
genetic file; similar passages found within several works by a same author;
text commentaries regarded as rewriting acts; to conclude, paths resorting to
many works for the interpretation of a passage. All this leads us to
re-consider text modelization by taking corpora into consideration. It also
creates an urge to redefine textuality according to intertextuality.

a Waetjen, Jarrod, Gibson, Timothy A. Harry Potter
and the Commodity Fetish: Activating Corporate Readings in the Journey from
Text to Commercial Intertext.
B Recent years have seen a productive dialogue develop between
political-economic and cultural approaches to media studies. In this spirit,
this article draws on the analytic tools of political economy to produce a
textual analysis of J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter series. In particular, we
argue that Rowling has woven throughout the Potter series a set of
contradictory discourses related to class and consumerism. Yet out of this
heteroglossia, AOL Time Warner - the holder of the series' film and merchandising
rights - has activated a narrow reading of Harry Potter that subordinates
Rowling's critique of social inequality and materialism while amplifying those
moments in the texts that celebrate the "magic" of commodity
consumption. Our conclusion discusses the role such corporate activations might
play in the struggle over how commodity production and consumption will be
understood in the wider social field. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

b Ostensibly, the widespread acceptance of environmental critiques
that stress the unsustainability of existing patterns of consumption threatens
the expansionist logic of consumer capitalism. In this respect the commercial
cultural industries, which historically have both exemplified and rationalized
the imperatives of consumerism, have a significant role to play. The
Disney/Pixar animated feature film Wall*E (2008), one of the most celebrated
recent examples of a popular anti-consumerism that now appears all but
obligatory, is an instructive example of their ideological instrumentality.
Implicitly endorsing the ‘individualizing’ practices of distinctive
consumption, the film constructs a mass society critique that nonetheless
validates the basic imperatives of consumer capitalism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

B Eco-cinema for children is a growing sub-genre of film that
attempts to introduce environmental issues to young audiences. The conventional
approach employed by many of these films from Bambi (Algar et al., 1942) to The
Lorax (Renaud and Bauda, 2012) is to use a melodramatic narrative structure in
which heroic nature is pitted against harmful humanity. The use of melodrama
makes sense given the narrative tradition's revolutionary roots and its
accessibility to wide (and young) audiences. However, the efficacy of such an
approach is debatable, especially in regards to its positioning of the audience
as passive consumers rather than active participants. Given the understanding
of film viewers as 'active audiences', this issue of the subjectivity of the
child spectator is especially important. The following article engages in a
comparative analysis of the conventional approach to eco-cinema for children
and a new nature narrative, principally demonstrated by Hayao Miyazaki's
Princess Mononoke (1997). While including certain elements from melodrama,
Mononoke is able to more effectively represent some of the complexities of
environmental discourse and subsequently encourage more critical, active
participation among its young viewers. Finally, the article argues that
Princess Mononoke initiated a new trend in nature narratives for children, and
that films like Wall-E (Stanton, 2008) continue to
demonstrate the efficacy of eco-cinema for children that artfully balances
complexity with accessibility. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
