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:
A biography with pictures about the career and life of Daryl E. Johnson, who attended Maggie L. Walker High School, Morgan State University and was drafted by the Boston Patriots in 1964.
In the words of Gayle Jones Carter:
Growing up in Richmond, Virginia, Daryl navigated the streets of our segregated city riding the back of buses, as we Blacks were forced to do in the late 50s. He had childish thoughts wondering why God had made him so dark, and why he couldn't look like "this one" or "that one." Yes, I gave him all the old clichйs about being a sweet black berry, and we laughed. He agreed with everything I said, and I could not stop laughing!
Daryl told me he was sprinkled with Holy Water at All Souls Presbyterian Church on Overbrook Road, and so was I. He said his baptism gave him a feeling of being protected and the comfort of belonging. Even though his father was absent from the home, his mother made sure she was an everlasting example of leadership and strength for her sons.
Perhaps the absence of a father gave Daryl his strong intestinal fortitude-the strength of mind that enabled him to face danger, endure pain and challenge adversity with courage. Today, Daryl is a family man, living in Massachusetts... dealing with some ailments that resulted from playing a rough and dangerous sport. He is happy and says he has never been depressed. Daryl is a man speaking his truths and his convictions to all. He loves to laugh and enjoys all genres of music, from Ave Maria to LXW's Great God, to R&B to George Benson, to Yuna's Blank Marquee. The following photographs and documents are treasures from Daryl's collection. Every aspect of his sporting career-both public and private-are explored and richly reproduced. You will see... Daryl's marquee is far from being blank.
