Looking For Black Religions In 20th Century Comics: 1931-1993

Relationships between religion and comics are generally unexplored in the academic literature. This article provides a brief history of Black religions in comic books, cartoons, animation, and newspaper strips, looking at African American Christianity, Islam, Africana (African diaspora) religions, and folk traditions such as Hoodoo and Conjure in the 20th century. Even though the treatment of Black religions in the comics was informed by stereotypical depictions of race and religion in United States (US) popular culture, African American comics creators contested these by offering alternatives in their treatment of Black religion themes

Horacio Quiroga

1 archivo PDF (12 páginas)En la narrativa de Horacio Quiroga la selva no es un escenario, sino el ambiente mismo. En su obra se pueden identificar dos etapas. La primera, en la que la influencia de Edgar Allan Poe es notoria, y la segunda, en la que su estancia en Misiones, como fotógrafo en una expedición de Leopoldo Lugones, nos presenta al hombre en su lucha con los elementos de la naturaleza. Su estadía en la selva se le revela como el tema esencial de su obra. Una manera de apartarse del horror libresco que había aprendido en Poe, para enfrentarse al horror real de la naturaleza pródiga y feraz. En la segunda, la influencia de Rudyard Kipling es advertible, de él aprende el habla de los animales. Salvo que, para el primero, la selva es un tema literario, antes que una experiencia; mientras que para Quiroga, la selva es el hábitat que elige para vivir: un desterrado de la civilización que signa su modo de morir. In the narrative of Horacio Quiroga, the jungle is not a stage, but the environment itself. In his work, one can identify two stages. The first, in which the influence of Edgar Allan Poe is notorious; and the second, in which his stay in Misiones, as a photographer on an expedition of Leopoldo Lugones, shows a man in his struggle with the elements of nature. His stay in the jungle is revealed as the central theme of his work. Either as a way of departing from bookish horror learned from Poe and to face the real horror and fertile bountiful of nature. And in the second stage, the influence of Rudyard Kipling is obvious: from him he learns the speech of animals. Except that, for the first, the jungle is a literary subject, rather than an experience, while for Quiroga, the jungle is the habitat he chose to live at: an exile from civilization that marks his way to die.

(Board)ing Schools: Rudyard Kipling’s young heroes

Rudyard Kipling’s young male characters, namely Stalky (Stalky & Co. ) and Harvey Cheyne Junior (Captains Courageous), whom he portrays with noticeable admiration, exhibit, on the one hand, circumspection, stoicism, leadership, and stalkiness, on the other hand, the absence of scruples in manipulating those acting in loco parentis to achieve their desired ends. This article aims to examine how these characters can shed light on one another, allowing for a better comprehension of them both. Furthermore, it will explore how the religious archetype of the trinity permeates Stalky & Co.’s composition of characters, and how muscular Christianity shapes Captains Courageous. Stalky and Harvey thrive in a masculine world, access to which requires leaving women behind, substituting them with brotherhoods or identification with the father. The perfect man, Kipling postulates, is the resourceful and courageous rule-bending Christian who is able to keep women and natives in a state of obedience.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Territoriality and Inter-Pack Aggression in Gray Wolves: Shaping a Social Carnivore\u27s Life History \u3ci\u3eRudyard Kipling\u27s Law of the Jungle Meets Yellowstone\u27s Law of the Mountains\u3c/i\u3e

When Rudyard Kipling wrote The Jungle Book in 1894 and included the famous line For the strength of the Wolf is the Pack, and the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, he would have had no idea that over a century later, scientific research would back up his poetic phrase. Recent studies in Yellowstone have found that both the individual wolf and the collective pack rely on each other and play important roles in territoriality. At a time when most fairy tales and fables were portraying wolves as demonic killers or, at best, slapstick gluttons, Kipling seemed to have a respect or even reverence for the wolf. Wolves in The Jungle Book raise and mentor the main character Mowgli, with the pack\u27s leader eventually dying to save the man-cub from a pack of wolves. Kipling may have extended intra-pack benevolence to a human boy for literary sake, but he was clearly enthralled with how pack members treat each other. As wolf packs are almost always family units, most commonly comprised of a breeding pair and their offspring from several years, amiable behavior within the pack is unsurprising. By contrast, wolf packs are fiercely intolerant of their neighbors, their rivals. And this competition is proving to be an important facet in the life of a wolf and its pack

Unless Someone Like You Cares a Whole Awful Lot: Apocalypse as Children’s Entertainment

This article explores an unusual subset of children’s narrative, the apocalyptic environmentalist text, and argues that such texts perform the perverse ideological work of shifting blame for ecological crisis from its perpetrators (the parents’ generation) to its victims (the child who is now called upon to act). These texts transform the drama of innocence and experience that is paradigmatic of children’s narrative by destroying the child’s innocence through their very transmission, by informing them of a dire crisis they then become obliged to repair. The article’s primary examples are Captain Planet, The Lorax, WALL-E and The Butter Battle Book, only the last of which finds a way to clearly articulate crisis without also shifting blame
