The Night Gwen Stacy Died:' The End Of Innocence And The Birth Of The Bronze Age, Arnold T. Blumberg
Reconstruction: Studies in Contemporary Culture
[First paragraph]
The time was 1973, and superheroes had some growing up to do.
The signs were already there as the genre eased into its fifth decade as the dominant force in American comic books. 1968 had seen the introduction of Robert Crumb's Zap Comics [1], an underground comic more concerned with counterculture trends and bucking the establishment than chronicling the exploits of spandex-wearing conservatives. The medium was testing its boundaries, finding flexibility where once there had been rigidity, and soon superheroes began to look like a timelost collection of crusaders who spoke to a generation long since past.

Southern Star., Shanda Schrae Miller
Southern Star., Shanda Schrae Miller
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
“Southern Star” follows protagonist Sally Gayle through the cycle of maturation. Complex family relationships and secrets hinder Sally as she searches for her identity in this bidungsroman set in a small, rural area of Southern Appalachia. Taking a minimalist, cinematic approach, “Southern Star” experiments with form and technique in an attempt to convey pure story to the reader. The work particularly focuses on character development, authentic dialogue, and a sense of place.

Theses and Dissertations
While the fantasy genre is one of the most widely read modes of writing, literary criticism and academic discussion of the genre takes place at a much lower level. This imbalance has developed in part because of a misconception that fantasy genre writings cannot accomplish significant, literary purposes. This thesis first offers an argument for why the fantasy genre should receive more attention in scholarly circles, then presents an excerpt of a fantasy novel. The argument draws from the limited amount of existing criticism to highlight the strengths of the fantasy genre, building a case that, in most respects, works …

Saddam/Sex/Superfeminist; Or, Fixing Iraq, Marleen S. Barr
Reconstruction: Studies in Contemporary Culture
[First paragraph]
Professor Claire Kentowitz, a feminist science fiction expert who teaches at Metropolis' SUNY Gramercy Park, was spending Saturday morning on the phone with her department head. They were having a heated discussion about comma placement in the tenure guidelines document. She hung up, switched on the television, and saw plumes of white smoke etched against the blue Texas sky. Since Claire had recently flown over the area, fond memories were intermingled with shock. She recoiled when she heard that Columbia had exploded -- and she was justifiably guilt ridden.

The End Of Science Fiction: When Technological Extrapolation Hits A Wall Across The Future, James John Bell
Reconstruction: Studies in Contemporary Culture
[First paragraph]
Science fiction, as a genre of popular fiction, can trace its roots as far back as the 2nd century AD, where fantastical worlds were conjured up in order to comment on current beliefs. The Ultimate Encyclopedia of Science Fiction (1996) outlines a very specific ancestry:
- [Science Fiction] is a descendant of the type of prose fiction sometimes referred to as Lucianic Satire (after Lucian of Samosata, a Greek writer of the 2nd century AD). Lucianic Satire -- also commonly known as Menippean Satire after an earlier writer, Menippus, whose works are now lost -- is a kind of …
Imperialism & Globalization: Lessons From Frank Herbert's Dune, Kevin Williams
Imperialism & Globalization: Lessons From Frank Herbert's Dune, Kevin Williams
Reconstruction: Studies in Contemporary Culture
[First paragraph]
These are the words of The Preacher (a character in Frank Herbert's Children of Dune who is simultaneously the metaphorical reincarnation of the fallen prophet, Muad'Dib, and the self-exiled Emperor, Paul Atreides) as he addresses the masses enslaved by their devotion to his messianic Empire. These words, culled from the pages of science fiction, are more than mere exposition from Herbert's narrative, they point toward several important conditions facing the political world today. These conditions concern certain failures of democracy and effects of globalization spawned, in part, by an intensification of imperialist expansion in the name of democracy.
Breathe In, Breathe Out, Patti Eldridge Holt
Breathe In, Breathe Out, Patti Eldridge Holt
English Theses & Dissertations
This collection of seven short stories explores the experience and expression of love. Love as myth is thematic to some of the stories, as is love as misery. The characters in the stories lose love or misuse it, or they confuse it with other human impulses. The stories dance around the cliche of love and examine it from the perspective of the individual, family, community, and church. Love is the conflict as well as the resolution, and the characters evolve as their understanding of love becomes more or less clear.
