Gender and the Superhero Narrative By Michael Goodrum (editor), Tara Prescott-Johnson (editor), Philip Smith (editor) 2018 | 320 Pages | ISBN: 1496818806 | PDF | 12 MB The explosive popularity of San Diego's Comic-Con, Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Rogue One, and Netflix's Jessica Jones and Luke Cage all signal the tidal change in superhero narratives and mainstreaming of what were once considered niche interests. Yet just as these areas have become more openly inclusive to an audience beyond heterosexual white men, there has also been an intense backlash, most famously in 2015's Gamergate controversy, when the tension between feminist bloggers, misogynistic gamers, and internet journalists came to a head. The place for gender in superhero narratives now represents a sort of battleground, with important changes in the industry at stake. These seismic shifts―both in the creation of superhero media and in their critical and reader reception―need reassessment not only of the role of women in comics, but also of how American society conceives of masculinity. Gender and the Superhero Narrative launches ten essays that explore the point where social justice meets the Justice League. Ranging from comics such as Ms. Marvel, Batwoman: Elegy, and Bitch Planet to video games, Netflix, and cosplay, this volume builds a platform for important voices in comics research, engaging with controversy and community to provide deeper insight and thus inspire change.  Gender and Power in the Japanese Visual Field By Joshua S. Mostow (editor), Norman Bryson (editor), Maribeth Graybill (editor) 2003 | 368 Pages | ISBN: 0824825721 | PDF | 10 MB Mostow (Japanese literature and visual culture, U. of British Columbia), Bryson (history and theory of art, U. College London, UK), and Graybill (senior curator of Asian art, U. of Michigan Museum of Art, US) present the results of a group research project dedicated to understanding representations of gender and sexuality from Japanese history, as well as the evolving historiography of such representations. The material ranges from medieval to modern topics, including 11 chapters discussing such topics as the image of women in battle scenes, the "westernization" of women's bodies during the Meiji period as a process of changing power, and the impact of the occupation of Korea on artistic images of women at the National Art Exhibitions.  Gender Politics: Citizenship, Activism and Sexual Diversity By Surya Monro 2005 | 240 Pages | ISBN: 0745319696 | PDF | 1 MB Is it possible to move beyond the male-female gender binary system? What happens to gender theory when we consider sex and gender identities as more than just 'male' or 'female'? Crucially, what are the implications of gender and sexual fluidity and multiplicity for social policy, citizenship, new social movements and democracy? Gender Politics challenges ideas that we are all either male or female, and gay or straight. It explores the experiences of people who transgress these categories, and the social exclusion that they face. Surya Monro addresses topical debates concerning gender, and looks at different ways of theorising gender pluralism. She explains how gender and sexuality relate to other social characteristics such as 'race', class, and disability. As well as providing a way into some of the key academic discussions in the field of gender and sexuality, Gender Politics is also a tool for activists. Monro analyses the way in which mainstream citizenship, social policy, and democracy can -or cannot - be changed to reflect the needs of marginalised groups. She explores the social implications of equality for transgender, intersex, lesbian, gay and bisexual people, and assesses conflicts within these communities themselves.

Herrick Chapman, "France's Long Reconstruction: In Search of the Modern Republic" English | ISBN: 067497641X | 2018 | 416 pages | EPUB | 4 MB At the end of World War II, France's greatest challenge was to repair a civil society torn asunder by Nazi occupation and total war. Recovery required the nation's complete economic and social transformation. But just what form this "new France" should take remained the burning question at the heart of French political combat until the Algerian War ended, over a decade later. Herrick Chapman charts the course of France's long reconstruction from 1944 to 1962, offering fresh insights into the ways the expansion of state power, intended to spearhead recovery, produced fierce controversies at home and unintended consequences abroad in France's crumbling empire. |
