LITTÉRATURE Vic and Sade, an often absurd situation comedy written by the prolific Paul Rhymer, aired on America’s radios from 1932 to 1944 (with short-lived revivals afterward).

DÉOM, Laurent, L’Imaginaire en oeuvre. Romans scouts et expérience littéraire, Bruxelles, Bern, Frankfurt, et al., Peter Lang, (Recherches comparatives sur les livres et le multimedia), vol. 8, 2014, 413 pages. En raison du succès considérable qu’il a rencontré, le roman scout en français offre, à cet égard, un champ d’investigation éclairant. La collection « Signe de piste », en particulier, a suscité l’enthousiasme de nombreux lecteurs, pour des raisons qui n’ont été que partiellement élucidées jusqu’à présent et que l’on met ici en lumière sous un angle nouveau, à partir des œuvres de Serge Dalens, de Jean-Louis Foncine, d’X. B. Leprince, de Jean Valbert et de Maurice Vauthier. The author of more than 50 books—125 million copies in print—Clive Cussler is the current grandmaster of adventure literature. Dirk Pitt, the sealoving protagonist of 22 of Cussler’s novels, remains among the most popular and influential adventure series heroes of the past half-century. This first critical review of Cussler’s work features an overview of Pitt and the supporting characters and other heroes, an examination of Cussler’s themes and influences, a review of his most important adventures, such as Raise the Titanic! and I c e b e r g , and a look at adaptations of his work in other media.

American Pulp tells how these books ingeniously repackaged highbrow fiction and nonfiction for a mass audience, drawing in readers of every kind with promises of entertainment, enlightenment, and titillation.

Contemporary representations of the president are examined as critiques of, or reinforcements to, dominant conceptions of political leadership. The reasons behind the proliferation of images of the president during this period are explored, from the archetype in American genre cinema (Air Force One, Independence Day and Deep Impact) to the idealised fantasy figure in network television (The West Wing, 24 and Commander in Chief). This book offers unique insights into the roles mainstream cinema and television continue to play in the reinforcement of mythological conceptions of the American presidency. A SIGNALER LACHAUD, Maxime, Redneck Movies : ruralité et dégénérescence dans le cinéma a m é r i c a i n , Pertuis, Rouge Profond, (Raccords), 2014, 416 pages. L'ouvrage, très richement illustré et bénéficiant d'entretiens inédits (avec John Boorman, Tobe Hooper, Jeff Lieberman, David Worth, Glen Coburn, Yves Boisset, William Grefé…), met les mains dans la boue pour découvrir une Amérique représentée par cet autre cinéma, étrange, poisseux, dégénéré, écrasé sous un soleil de plomb. L'auteur est remonté aux origines du stéréotype populaire du redneck pour retracer le contexte socio-historique et mieux comprendre cette esthétique. Certains films évoqués sont des classiques du cinéma, d'autres sont totalement obscurs, presque introuvables. Vous découvrirez donc ici autant de chefs-d'œuvre que de nanars, autant de joyaux noirs que de films fauchés. Le genre est aussi exploré dans toute sa richesse (porno paillard, cannibalisme hillbilly, créatures des marais, comédies de ploucs, slashers ruraux, etc.) et dans l'impact qu'il a pu avoir en dehors des frontières américaines, y compris dans le cinéma actuel.

MARTIN, Brett, Des hommes tourmentés : le nouvel âge des séries – Des Sopranos à The Wire à Mad Men et Breaking Bad, Paris, La Martinière, 2014, 473 pages. Rape-revenge is one of film studies' neglected genres, in spite of the plethora of examples globally over the past decade. Previously considered a notorious subset of 1970s and 1980s horror or exploitation, there has been a massive revitalization and diversification of rape-revenge in recent years. This book updates and redefines the rape-revenge genre, analyzing the politics, ethics, and affects at play in the filmic construction of rape and its responses.

ROMANS ET FILMS POLICIERS Dans une confrontation inédite des approches francophones et anglo-saxonnes signées par des experts internationalement reconnus aussi bien que par de jeunes chercheurs, 'Le mélodrame filmique revisité' propose d'ouvrir le champ d'études vers de nouvelles perspectives historiques et esthétiques. En effet, le mélodrame souffre, depuis ses débuts cinématographiques, d'une exploitation péjorative qui restreint le « mode mélodramatique » à la manipulation des émotions du public et à une representation excessive sur le plan esthétique. Minimisé, expédié, ce genre mérite pourtant d'être enfin l'objet d'une revalorisation à travers des approaches innovantes et un corpus élargi à la télévision, l'animation et l'internet.

CILANO, Clara, Post 9/11 Espionage Fiction in the US and Pakistan : Spies and « Terrorists », London, Routledge, 2014, 131 pages. Post-9/11 Espionage Fiction in the US and Pakistan examines post-9/11 American spy fictions alongside Pakistani novels that draw upon many of the same figures, tropes, and conventions. As the Pakistani texts re-place spy fiction’s conventions, they offer another vantage point from which to view the affective appeals common to these conventions’ usual deployment in American texts.

The author examines the racial formations of African Americans and Asian Americans not only in detective fiction (from Sherlock Holmes and Charlie Chan to the works of Pauline Hopkins) but also in narratives centered on detection itself (such as Winnifred Eaton’s rhetoric of undetection in her Japanese romances). In explicating the literary depictions of race-detection anxiety, Huh demonstrates how cultural, legal, and scientific discourses across diverse racial groups were also struggling with demands for racial decipherability. [parution : mai 2015] A literary examination of the influence of 19th century sleuths on the early hard-boiled investigators, this book explores the importance of works by Edgar Allan Poe, Charles Dickens, Wilkie Collins and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle to the development of detective series by Carroll John Daly, Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler, Brett Halliday, Mickey Spillane, Thomas B. Dewey, John D. MacDonald, Ross Macdonald, Richard S. Prather and William Campbell Gault. Authors from the transitional (1964–1977) and modern periods (1979 to the present) are also discussed to show the ongoing influence of the 19th century detective writers.

HAMILTON, Cynthia S., Sara Paretsky : Detective Fiction as Trauma Literature, Manchester, Manchester University Press, 2015, 205 pages. Paretsky's work exploits the way detective fiction mirrors the writing of history. Here, Paretsky uses the form to expose the partiality of historical accountswhether they be personal, institutional, or nationalthat authorise the 'forgetting' of a particularly insidious kind. Significantly, all these issues are explored within the framework of the traditional hardboiled detective novel. As a result, Paretsky's achievement forces us to acknowledge the deeply subversive potential of detective fiction.

TERRACE, Vincent, Internet Drama and Mystery Television, 1996-2014, Jefferson (NC), McFarland, 2015, 276 pages. Created around the world and available only on the Web, internet “television” series are independently produced, mostly low budget shows that often feature talented but unknown performers. Typically financed through online crowd-funding, they are produced with borrowed equipment and volunteer casts and crews, and viewers find them through word of mouth or by chance. The second in a first-ever set of books cataloging Internet television series, this volume covers in depth the drama and mystery genres, with detailed entries on 405 shows from 1996 through July 2014.

ANATOL, Giselle Liza, the Things That Fly in the Night : Female Vampires in Literature of the Circum-Caribbean and African D i a s p o r a , New Brunswick (NJ), Rutgers University Press, 2015, 296 pages. As a genre, the television crime drama has long been a constant of the television landscape since it first migrated from film and radio onto the small screen in the 1950s. Since then, from Dixon of Dock Green to The Wire, from Minder to The Sopranos or Cracker to Dexter and The Killing, it has continued to attract large audiences even as the depiction of the crime, the perpetrators and the investigators may have changed. In order to track these changes, this book provides an historical analysis of the TV crime series as a genre by paying close attention not only to the nature of TV dramas themselves, but also to the context of production and reception.

Language Will Eat Your Brain Peter Schwenger LANGE, Britta, Die Entdeckung Deutschlands : Science Fiction als Propaganda, Berlin, Verbrecher Verlag, 2014, 103 pages. Im Ersten Weltkrieg wurde das Deutsche Reich von drei Marsianern besucht. Das zumindest inszeniert ein heute vergessener Film aus dem Jahr 1916: „Die Entdeckung Deutschlands durch die Marsbewohner“. Dieser war nicht nur der erste offizielle Propagandafilm in der Kriegszeit für das Inland und das »neutrale Ausland«. Er ist zugleich ein sehr früher und bisher nicht kanonisierter Science-FictionFilm: mit Nachrichtenabhörung auf dem Mars, Sprechschreiber und Weltraumflug, aber auch mit Einschüben, die an Märchen und Liebesfilme erinnern. Das Buch geht dem Gewirr von Geschichten nach, das das Drehbuch des jüdischen Anwalts Richard Otto Frankfurter entfaltet. Fragmente aus den Archiven ergänzen den Band und bieten heute, fast einhundert Jahre später, einen Einblick in den Zusammenhang von Film und Propaganda. ETTER, Valérie, Barbara STENTZ (dir.), Les Monstres qui parlent, Paris, L’Harmattan, (Esthétiques0, 2014, 186 pages. Quelle est la place du monstre dans les arts ? Quels sont les enjeux de sa mise en scène ? Ce livre explore les multiples visages de cette figure énigmatique en convoquant des articles émanant de disciplines multiples. Si le monstre excelle à s'exhiber, il faut savoir saisir les signes et les présages qu'il adresse. Ce que dit le monstre engage une réflexion sur le monde où nous vivons. Il bouleverse les normes établies tant au niveau artistique que social et politique.

What exactly does it mean to be 'normal' or 'abnormal', and what happens if individuals find themselves on the 'wrong' side of the divide? Stephan Karschay addresses these questions through extensive readings of works by scientists such as Darwin, Lombroso, Maudsley, and Krafft-Ebing, and the most famous Gothic novels of R. L. Stevenson, Arthur Machen, Bram Stoker, Richard Marsh, Oscar Wilde and Marie Corelli.

MAMCZAK, Sascha, Sebastian PRILING & Wolfgang JESCHKE, Das Science Fiction Jahr 2014, München, Heyne Verlag, 2014, 971 pages. H.G. Wells wanted his epitaph to be 'God damn you all, I told you so'. But how accurate were his predictions of industrial warfare and global conflict, especially as his descriptions of an aerial bombing of New York in War in the Air has been compared to the terrorist attacks of 9/11? Did the late Victorians really 'discover the future' or did the 1990s simply recycle the 1890s? At the aftermath of 2012, this book is 'looking backward' and identifies startling connections between the apocalyptic fantasies of the last two centuries' ends and traces intriguing links between Nietzsche and chaos theory, Dracula and The X-Files, the Borg Queen and H. Rider Haggard's Ayesha, among others. McCANN, Andrew, Popular Literature, Autorship and the Occult in Late Victorian Britain, Cambridge, Cambridge University Press,(Cambridge Studies in NineteenthCentury Literature and Culture, 94), 2014, 202 pages. Popular writers such as George Du Maurier, Marie Corelli, Rosa Praed and Arthur Machen drew upon a contemporary fascination with occult practices to construct texts that had an intensely ambiguous relationship to the proprietary notions of authorship that were so central to commercial publishing. Through trance-induced or automatic writing, dream states, dual personality and the retrieval of past lives channeled through mediums, they imagined forms of authorship that reinvested popular texts with claims to aesthetic and political value that cut against the homogenizing pressures of an emerging culture industry.

MONTROSS, Sarah J., Past Futures : Science Fiction, Space Travel, and Postwar Art of the Americas, Brunswick (Maine), Bowdoin College Museum Art, 2015, 136 pages. Monstrous Bodies is a cultural and literary history of ambiguous bodies in imperial Japan. It focuses on what the book calls modern monsters—doppelgangers, robots, twins, hybrid creations—bodily metaphors that became ubiquitous in the literary landscape from the Meiji era (1868–1912) up until the outbreak of the Second Sino-Japanese War in 1937. This book offers a sumptuously illustrated exploration of how artists from the United States and Latin America visualized the future. Inspired variously by the "golden age" of science fiction, the Cold War, the space race, and the counterculture, these artists expressed both optimism and pessimism about humanity's prospects. Past Futures showcases work by more than a dozen artists, including the biomorphic cosmic spaces and hybrid alien-totemic figures painted by the Chilean artist Roberto Matta (1911--2002); the utopian Hydrospatial City envisioned by Argentine Gyula Kosice (1924--); and Incidents of Mirror-Travel in the Yucatan, in which Robert Smithson (1938--1973) layered tropes of time travel atop Mayan ruins. The book, which accompanies an exhibition at the Bowdoin College Museum of Art, also includes an essay by the editor and curator mapping central themes; an exploration of how Latin American artists have depicted astronomic phenomena, utopian projects, and the modern machine; an essay on spaceage art in Argentina during the 1960s; and a study of Smithson and science fiction. PARKINSON, Gavin, Futures of Surrealism : Myth, Science Fiction, and Fantastic Art in France, 1936-1969, Hew Haven (CT), Yale University Press, 2015, 288 pages. Whereas earlier Surrealist art and writing drew on psychoanalytic practices, younger Surrealists engaged with contemporary issues, ideas, and themes of the period of the Cold War and Algerian War (1954–62), such as parapsychology, space travel, fantastic art, increasing consumerism in Europe, emerging avantgardes such as Nouveau Réalisme, and the rise of the whole genre of conspiracy theory, from Nazi occultism to flying saucers. Futures of Surrealism offers a unique perspective on this brave new world. PARSONS, Derek, J.R.R. Tolkien, Robert E. Howard and the Birth of Modern Fantasy, Jefferson (NC), McFarland, 2014, 277 pages. The birth of modern fantasy in 1930s Britain and 13 PULLIAM, June, Monstrous Bodies : Feminine Power in Young Adult Fiction, Jefferson (NC), McFarland, 2014, 198 pages. America saw the development of new literary and film genres. J.R.R. Tolkien created modern fantasy with The Lord of the Rings, set in a fictional world based upon his life in the early 20th century British Empire, and his love of language and medieval literature. In small-town Texas, Robert E. Howard pounded out his own fantasy realm in his Conan stories, published serially in the ephemeral pulp magazines he loved. Jerry Siegel created Superman with Joe Shuster, and laid the foundation for perhaps the post far-reaching fantasy worlds: the universe of DC and Marvel comics. Recent works of young adult fantastic fiction such as Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight Saga have been criticized for glamorizing feminine subordination. But YA horror fiction with female protagonists who have paranormal abilities suggests a resistance to restrictive gender roles. The “monstrous Other” is a double with a difference, a metaphor of the Western adolescent girl pressured to embody an untenable doll-like feminine ideal. This book examines what each of three types of female monstrous Others in young adult fiction—the haunted girl, the female werewolf and the witch—has to tell us about feminine subordination in a supposedly post-feminist world, where girls continue to be pressured to silence their voices and stifle their desires. PEARL, Jason H., Utopian Geographies & The Early English Novel, Charlotteville, University of Virginia Press, 2014, 216 pages. Prose fiction from 1660 to 1740 helped demystify blank spaces on the map and make utopia available anywhere. This literature incorporated, debunked, and reformulated utopian conceptions of geography. Margaret Cavendish, Aphra Behn, Daniel Defoe, Jonathan Swift, and others told of adventurous voyages and extraordinary worlds. They engaged critically and creatively with the idea of utopia. If these writers ultimately concede that utopian geographies were nowhere to be found, they also reimagine the essential ideals as new forms of interiority and sociability that could be brought back to England.

From detailed readings of films (Stephen Frears's Dirty Pretty Things, Nick Broomfield's Ghosts and Robert Altman's Gosford Park), a television series (Upstairs, Downstairs) and novels (Hilary Mantel's Beyond Black, Sarah Waters's Affinity, Ian McEwan's The Child in Time and Bret Easton Ellis's Lunar Park) emerges an inventive account of how the spectral metaphor, in its association with various modes of invisibility, can signify both dispossession and empowerment.

Hamlet's Migration and Integration in the Dramatic Theater as Cyberspace / Gerrit Roessler, University of Virginia (US). What will the future look like? To judge from many speculative fiction films and books, from Blade Runner to Cloud Atlas, the future will be full of cities that resemble Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Shanghai, and it will be populated mainly by cold, unfeeling citizens who act like robots. Techno-Orientalism investigates the phenomenon of imagining Asia and Asians in hypo- or hyper-technological terms in literary, cinematic, and new media representations, while critically examining the stereotype of Asians as both technologically advanced and intellectually primitive, in dire need of Western consciousness-raising. The collection’s fourteen original essays trace the discourse of techno-orientalism across a wide array of media, from radio serials to cyberpunk novels, from Sax Rohmer’s Dr. Fu Manchu to Firefly. TALAIRACH-VIELMAS, Laurence, Fairy Tales, Natural History and Victorian Culture, New York, Palgrave Macmillan, 2014, xii, 217 pages. Fairy Tales, Natural History and Victorian Culture deals with the way in which natural history was connected to the world of fairies and highlights how shifts in the understanding of natural history, especially after 1859, had a significant impact on fairy stories and Victorian experiments with the literary fairy tale. By exploring the interaction between scientific and literary fields, this book shows the ways in which natural knowledge was shaped and disseminated in Victorian culture and illuminates cultural practices through which new representations of nature and the natural world were popularised.

P. Lovecraft. Ignoring secondary accounts and various received truths, Gavin Callaghan goes back to the weird texts themselves, and follows where Lovecraft leads him: into an arcane world of parental giganticism and inverted classicism, in which Lovecraft's parental obsessions were twisted into the all-powerful cosmic monsters of his imaginary cosmology. A PROPOS DES AUTEURS BRAATEN, Caleb HUNCHBACK Mike & (eds.), Pulp Macabre : The Art of Lee Brown Coye’s Final and Darkest Era, Port Townsed (WA), Feral House, 2014, 220 pages. No other artist working in mid-century pulp fiction created work as twisted as Lee Brown Coye. By the 1970s, after surviving a life-threatening illness, Coye would outdo himself, creating lurid illustrations exclusive to rare privately published books and fanzines. With nearly one hundred gloriously rendered Coye-penned images, Pulp Macabre showcases Coye's final and darkest era, containing some of the most passionately ghoulish artwork ever made.

Champion, (Passeur d’idées), 2012, 322 pages. Deux grandes parties sont ménagées dans cet ouvrage pour bien voyager avec Jules Verne et se repérer dans son océan tumultueux de mots et de rêves. La première partie est consacrée aux thématiques récurrentes avec pas moins de quatorze chapitres, qu'il s'agisse de l'ouverture aux autres peuples, de son sens aiguisé du suspense et du mystère, ou de l'appel du large, de sa conception du héros, du méchant, des femmes et des enfants, de l'esclavage, du travail, sans oublier l'importance du naufrage, le tout sur fond de drôles de machine. La seconde partie constitue Le tour de Jules Verne en 80 récits... C'est-à-dire toute son oeuvre présentée ouvrage par ouvrage, chronologiquement. Nous sommes beaucoup en effet à avoir lu des romans de Jules Verne, mais qui a lu la totalité de l'oeuvre ? On peut ne pas connaître Un drame au Mexique, Un drame dans les airs publiés en 1852 ! Aussi est-il précieux de bénéficier ici du résumé commenté de chaque récit. Enfin, pour mieux parcourir l'univers vernien, l'ouvrage s'achève sur un triple index très complet des noms de personnages, des noms cités, et des ouvrages cités. Et bien sûr de toutes les oeuvres de Jules Verne. Il ne reste plus qu'à s'immerger dans cet océan !

The book is illustrated throughout by gorgeous behind the scenes photography, makeup tests, candid stills, and beautiful film frames. Highly rare conceptual artwork has been unearthed and promises fans an exclusive glimpse into the creation of this beloved series. Looking in detail at programs from Canada, France, Italy, Japan, the UK, and the U.S., this volume's twenty-three international contributors demonstrate the wide range of fairy tales that make their way into televisual forms. The writers look at fairy-tale adaptations in musicals like Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella, anthologies like Jim Henson's The Storyteller, made-for-TV movies like Snow White: A Tale of Terror, Bluebeard, and the Red Riding Trilogy, and drama serials like Grimm and Once Upon a Time. Contributors also explore more unexpected representations in the Carosello commercial series, the children's show Super Why!, the anime series Revolutionary Girl Utena, and the live-action dramas Train Man and Rich Man Poor Woman. In addition, they consider how elements from familiar tales, including "Hansel and Gretel," "Little Red Riding Hood," "Beauty and the Beast," "Snow White," and "Cinderella" appear in the long arc serials Merlin, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Dollhouse, and in a range of television formats including variety shows, situation comedies, and reality TV.

HUCKVALE, David, Poe Evermore : The Legacy in Film, Music and Television, Jefferson (NC), McFarland, 2014, 220 pages. Alphabetically arranged, this book explores Poe’s major works both in their own right and in terms of their impact on others, including Baudelaire, who 22 translated his works into French; Debussy, Rachmaninoff and the Alan Parsons’ Project, who set them to music; Roger Corman, Federico Fellini and Jean Epstein, who interpreted his visions for film audiences; and television shows such as The Six Million Dollar Man and Time Tunnel, which borrowed his imagery (and, in the case of T h e Simpsons, sent it up). A wide range of other responses to his compelling Tales of Mystery and Imagination, his poetry and the theoretical writings, combine strongly to suggest that Poe’s legacy will indeed last forevermore. mythologischen Wurzeln des japanischen Geisterfilms Andrea Rauscher: Von Bio-Exorzisten, kopflosen Reitern und liebenden Toten.

Le fantastique et la science-fiction, depuis Méliès, stimulent la créativité du 7e art.

This book takes a chronological, film-by-film approach to all of Hammer’s thrillers. Well-known classics such as Seth Holt’s The Nanny (1965) and Taste of Fear (1961) are discussed, together with less well known but equally brilliant films such as The Full Treatment (dir. Val Guest, 1960) and Michael Carreras’ Maniac (1963). The films’ literary ancestry, reflection of British society and relation to psychological theories of Freud and Jung, architectural metaphor, sexuality, religion, and even Nazi atrocities are all fully explored.

RICHARDS, Justin, Doctor Who : The Secret Lives of Monsters, New York, Harper Design, 2014, 288 pages. Bringing critical attention to a particular set of science fiction and fantasy films—Larry and Andy Wachowski’s The Matrix, George Lucas’ Star Wars saga, and Joss Whedon’s A v e n g e r s—this book utilizes a wide-ranging set of critical tools to illuminate their political ideologies, while also examining any resistant and complicating turns or byways the films may provide. What they all have in common ideologically is that they—or at least the genres they belong to—tend to be regarded as belonging to politically conservative frames of sociocultural reference. With the Star Wars saga, however, this idea is shown to be superficial and weak. SALISBURY, Mark, Alien The Archive : The Ultimate Guide to the Classic Movies, London, Titan Books, 2014, 328 pages.

Since the first film’s release in 1977, Taylor shows, Star Wars has conquered our culture with a sense of lightness and exuberance, while remaining serious enough to influence politics in far-flung countries and spread a spirituality that appeals to religious groups and atheists alike. Controversial digital upgrades and poorly received prequels have actually made the franchise stronger than ever. Now, with a savvy new set of bosses holding the reins and Episode VII on the horizon, it looks like Star Wars is just getting started.

Romero et les zombies : autopsie d’un mort-vivant, Paris, L’Harmattan, (Drôle d’époque), 2014, 128 pages. Et si le ""zombie"" d’aujourd hui avait plus à exprimer qu’une peur existentielle ? S’il n’était pas seulement un être avide de chair, poussé par un instinct de conservation ? S’il il était autre chose qu’une figure de la lutte des classes ? Si le zombie était à l’origine, le geste de soulèvement le plus incroyable qui nous soit donné à penser ? Les mortsvivants de Romero ont été récupérés par l’industrie du cinéma hollywoodien, qui leur a enlevé leur capacité radicale de contestation politique. Plus largement, c’est une philosophie de la mort-vivantitude qui s ouvrira au lecteur.

PARIS, Vincent, Zombies – Sociologie des m o r t s - v i v a n t s , Montréal, XYZ, (Hors Collection), 2013, 180 pages. Que cela vous plaise ou pas, les zombies sont parmi nous. Ils font partie de notre « culture populaire ». Ils ont envahi les écrans, les jeux vidéo et même les bandes dessinées. Les classiques de la littérature n’ont pas échappé à la contamination par le virus : Orgueil et préjugés et zombies, parodie du célèbre roman de Jane Austen, a été un best-seller. Taper le mot « zombie » dans Google devrait finalement vous convaincre de l’ampleur du phénomène, qui méritait bien un ouvrage. Qu’est-ce qu’un zombie ? D’où vient le phénomène ? Pourquoi le zombie est-il si populaire et fascine-t-il autant de nos jours ? Si l’épidémie se produisait vraiment, quelles seraient les conséquences sur le plan sociologique ? ALANIZ, José, Death, Disability, and the Superhero : The Silver Age and Beyond, Jackson, University of Mississippi, 2014, 400 pages. The Thing. Daredevil. Captain Marvel. The Human Fly. Drawing on DC and Marvel comics from the 1950s to the 1990s and marshaling insights from three burgeoning fields of inquiry in the humanities-disability studies, death and dying studies, and comics studies-- José Alaniz seeks to redefine the contemporary understanding of the superhero. Beginning in the Silver Age, the genre increasingly challenged and complicated its hypermasculine, quasi-eugenicist biases through such disabled figures as Ben Grimm/The Thing, Matt Murdock/Daredevil, and the Doom Patrol. RUSSELL. Jamie, Book of the Dead : The Complete History of Zombie Cinema, London, Titan Books, 2014, 448 pages.

With an exhaustive filmography covering the history of the zombie genre, Book of the Dead explains our ongoing fascination with the living dead and how this shambolic monster has become a stumbling, moaning metaphor for our age.

Une analyse inédite de 50 créations qui ont fait date dans l'histoire du cinéma d'animation.

Special Affects is the first extended exploration of the connection between media and consumerism, and the first book to extensively apply Deleuzian film theory to animation. Its exploration of the connection between the animated form and consumerism, and its re-examination of 20th century animation from the perspective of affect, makes this an engaging and essential read for film-philosophy scholars and students.

Plus optimiste et notamment influencé par les travaux de Paul Wells sur le cinéma d'animation, cet ouvrage envisage un ensemble de séries animées françaises comme des mondes sociaux à part entière. Il montre comment les personnages et les représentations qui peuplent ces univers animés y construisent le genre, mais le questionnent aussi, et en reconfigurent les contours. Dans une approche relationnelle avec le masculin, il examine les différents modèles d'identités féminines que l'on y rencontre et leurs possibilités d'empowerment.

McLELLAND, Mark, Kzumi NAGAIKE, Katsuhiko SUGUNUMA & James WELKER (eds.), Boys’ Love Manga and Beyond : History, Culture, and Community in Japan, Jackson, University Press of Mississippi, 2015, In recent decades, "Boys Love" (or simply BL) has emerged as a mainstream genre in manga, anime, and games for girls and young women. This genre was first developed in Japan in the early 1970s by a group of female artists who went on to establish themselves as major figures in Japan's manga industry. By the late 1970s many amateur women fans were getting involved in the BL phenomenon by creating and selfpublishing homoerotic parodies of established male manga characters and popular media figures. This collection provides the first comprehensive overview in English of the BL phenomenon in Japan, its history and various subgenres and introduces translations of some key Japanese scholarship not otherwise available. Some chapters detail the historical and cultural contexts that helped BL emerge as a significant part of girls' culture in Japan. Others offer important case studies of BL production, consumption, and circulation and explain why BL has become a controversial topic in contemporary Japan.

Myth of the Western re-invigorates the debate surrounding the relationship between the Western and frontier mythology, arguing for the importance of the genre's socio-cultural, historical and political dimensions. Taking a number of critical-theoretical and philosophical approaches, Matthew Carter applies them to prominent forms of frontier historiography. He also considers the historiographic element of the Western by exploring the different ways in which the genre has responded to the issues raised by the frontier. Carter skilfully argues that the genre has and continues to reveal - the complexities and contradictions at the heart of US society.

Contributors investigate texts ranging from RÉCITS DE GUERRE the Norse Vinland Sagas and Mary Rowlandson’s famous captivity narrative to early Spanish and French exploration narratives, an eighteenth-century English novel, and a play by Aphra Behn. Through its examination of the disparate and multifaceted body of literature that arises from a broad array of cultural backgrounds and influences, Before the West Was West apprehends the literary West in temporal as well as spatial and cultural terms and poses new questions about westernness and its literary representation.

Neibaur takes a film-by-film look at each of the superstar’s signature works, from A Fistful of Dollars in 1964 to his modern day classic Unforgiven, which earned him two Academy Awards, including best director. The author discusses in detail the production, impact, influences, and successes (both critical and commercial) of each film. Neibaur also examines the continued success and influence of these works—how they redefined, challenged, and progressed the western genre. The book also features chapters that look at Eastwood’s non-westerns in the context of his overall film career. GEHRING, Wes D., Chaplin’s War Trilogy : An Evolving Lens in Three Dark Comedies, 1918-1947, Jefferson (NC), McFarland, 2014, 232 pages. The book examines Charlie Chaplin’s evolving perspective on dark comedy in his three war films, Shoulder Arms (1918), The Great Dictator (1940), and Monsieur Verdoux (1947). In the first he uses the genre in a groundbreaking manner but yet for a prowar cause. In Dictator dark comedy is applied in an antiwar way. In Monsieur Verdoux Chaplin embraces the genre as an individual in defense against a society out to destroy him.
