Описание: As portrayals of heroic women gain ground in film, television, and other media, their depictions are breaking free of females as versions of male heroes or simple stereotypes of overly weak or overly strong women. Although heroines continue to play the traditional roles of mothers, goddesses, warriors, whores, witches, and priestesses, these women are no longer just damsels in distress or violent warriors. In Heroines of Film and Television: Portrayals in Popular Culture, award-winning authors from a variety of disciplines examine the changing roles of heroic women across time. In this volume, editors Norma Jones, Maja Bajac-Carter, and Bob Batchelor have assembled a collection of essays that broaden our understanding of how heroines are portrayed across media, offering readers new ways to understand, perceive, and think about women. Contributors bring fresh readings to popular films and television shows such as The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Kill Bill, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Weeds, Mad Men, and Star Trek. The representations and interpretations of these heroines are important reflections of popular culture that simultaneously empower and constrain real life women. These essays help readers gain a more complete understanding of female heroes, especially as related to race, gender, power, and culture. A companion volume to Heroines of Comic Books and Literature, this collection will appeal to academics and broader audiences that are interested in women in popular culture.

Описание: Despite the growing importance of heroines across literary culture and sales figures that demonstrate both young adult and adult females are reading about heroines in droves, particularly in graphic novels, comic books, and YA literature few scholarly collections have examined the complex relationships between the representations of heroines and the changing societal roles for both women and men. In Heroines of Comic Books and Literature: Portrayals in Popular Culture, editors Maja Bajac-Carter, Norma Jones, and Bob Batchelor have selected essays by award-winning contributors that offer a variety of perspectives on the representations of heroines in today s society. Focused on printed media, this collection looks at heroic women depicted in literature, graphic novels, manga, and comic books. Addressing heroines from such sources as the Marvel and DC comic universes, manga, and the Twilight novels, contributors go beyond the account of women as mothers, wives, warriors, goddesses, and damsels in distress. These engaging and important essays situate heroines within culture, revealing them as tough and self-sufficient females who often break the bounds of gender expectations in places readers may not expect. Analyzing how women are and have been represented in print, this companion volume to Heroines of Film and Television will appeal to scholars in literature, rhetoric, and media as well as to broader audiences that are interested in portrayals of women in popular culture.

Описание: Following their dreams, Bob and Karen Jones set out from Corpus Christi, Texas, in their 15 year-old, 30-foot sailboat, Watercolors, to explore the Gulf and Atlantic Coasts taking them to Chesapeake Bay. Their adventure mostly follows America's Intracoastal Waterway that winds through remote bays and inlets formed by numerous barrier islands. In these estuaries, they encounter an abundance of osprey, pelicans, herons, ducks, geese, cormorants, and dolphins, as well as the rarer bald eagles and whooping cranes. The Waterway also leads to villages and towns that make their livelihood from the water as is very much evident in the delicious oysters, blue crab, and shrimp served up at local cafes. Other stops are at major seaports including Galveston, New Orleans, Pensacola, Jacksonville, Savannah, and Charleston which serve a delightful dose of history extending back to early colonial times. The Chesapeake is an ideal cruising ground with villages such as Deltaville, Onancock, Crisfield, St. Michaels, and Oxford wedded to the water by crabbing, oystering, and boatbuilding. Bob and Karen enjoy exploring rivers with such enticing names as Wicomico, Choptank, Piankatank, Rappahannock, Patapsco, and Potomac, as well as the major cities of Baltimore and Washington, and the sailing center of Annapolis. In the late fall they return to Florida where they abandon their plans to return to Texas in the spring in favor of returning to the Chesapeake for further sailing adventures and a chance to traverse the Dismal Swamp. They encounter the usual cruising challenges of navigation, dragging anchors, provisioning, mechanical and electric breakdowns, water leaks, and approaching hurricanes. Karen's Living Aboard sections describe life aboard a boat for many months from a women's perspective. Bob's Nature Notebook sections explore conservation efforts preserving wetlands and migrating birds as well as looking at future challenges of overfishing, protecting sea turtles, and rising sea levels. 303 pages, 109 B&W photographs, 3 maps
