Описание: William Marston was an unusual man - a psychologist, a soft-porn pulp novelist, more than a bit of a carny, and the (self-declared) inventor of the lie detector. He was also the creator of Wonder Woman, the comic that he used to express two of his greatest passions: feminism and women in bondage.Comics expert Noah Berlatsky takes us on a wild ride through the Wonder Woman comics of the 1940s, vividly illustrating how Marston’s many quirks and contradictions, along with the odd disproportionate composition created by illustrator Harry Peter, produced a comic that was radically ahead of its time in terms of its bold presentation of female power and sexuality. Himself a committed polyamorist, Marston created a universe that was friendly to queer sexualities and lifestyles, from kink to lesbianism to cross-dressing. Written with a deep affection for the fantastically pulpy elements of the early Wonder Woman comics, from invisible jets to giant multi-lunged space kangaroos, the book also reveals how the comic addressed serious, even taboo issues like rape and incest.Wonder Woman: Bondage and Feminism in the Marston/Peter Comics 1941-1948 reveals how illustrator and writer came together to create a unique, visionary work of art, filled with bizarre ambition, revolutionary fervor, and love, far different from the action hero symbol of the feminist movement many of us recall from television.

Описание: This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a 'fresh and newly' reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work. We believe that this work holds historical, cultural and/or intellectual importance in the literary works community, therefore despite the oddities, we accounted the work for print as a part of our continuing effort towards preservation of literary work and our contribution towards the development of the society as a whole, driven by our beliefs.

Описание: Steeds meer mensen ondervinden dat projectmanagement in een transitie terecht is gekomen. Van oudsher bekende en op zichzelf goede methoden en technieken zijn tegen hun grenzen aangelopen. Nieuwe inzichten en aanpakken winnen terrein. Geen wonder dat ook de inhoud en het nut van bestaande instituties op het gebied van projectmanagement, zoals vak- en certificeringsorganisaties meer en meer ter discussie worden gesteld. Ervaren projectmanagers beschouwen de uitgedijde methoden en technieken en de strakke certificeringen steeds meer als een keurslijf in plaats van als nuttige hulpmiddelen.Niet alleen projectmanagers hebben er last van. Ook lijnmanagers van grote organisaties kampen met het probleem. Velen zien om zich heen dat projecten niet naar wens verlopen, terwijl medewerkers toch volgens de voorgeschreven opgelegde procedures lijken te handelen. Het is alsof managers en medewerkers hun gezonde verstand thuislaten en procedures laten regeren over hun professionele handelen zonder oog te hebben voor de gevolgen ervan. Daarnaast zien we dat in de praktijk nieuwe aanpakken gretig worden omarmd als de heilige graal, zonder rekening te houden met de enorme omslag die dat betekent, niet alleen voor de directbetrokkenen maar zelfs voor de hele organisatie. Het risico is niet denkbeeldig dat de introductie van de nieuwe aanpak het werken in projecten verder bemoeilijkt en dat we zo het kind met het badwater weggooien.Transitie van projectmanagement betekent ook transitie voor de projectmanager. Daarom vonden we het hoog tijd een boek te schrijven voor deze projectmanager in transitie dat een nieuwe richting voor het vak aangeeft. In dit boek verkennen of beschrijven we een aantal belangrijke aspecten van die transitie. Zes auteurs hebben ieder een of meer hoofdstukken voor hun rekening genomen.Het eerste hoofdstuk analyseert de oorsprong van de begrippen `project` en `projectmanagement` en maakt duidelijk dat de huidige visies op het vak een doodlopende weg in dreigen te slaan. Het vervolghoofdstuk brengt een aantal stromingen in de projectmanagementwereld tot anno 2017 in beeld en slaat een brug tussen de projecten en organisaties.Hoofdstuk 3 stelt dat projectmanagementmethoden en projectmanagers ten onrechte zo veel mogelijk emoties en irrationaliteit negeren. We kunnen maar beter onder ogen zien dat ze een onlosmakelijk aspect zijn van ieder project en leren daarmee om te gaan.Een apart hoofdstuk wordt gewijd aan wicked vraagstukken, een type opgave dat kenmerken van volstrekte onvoorspelbaarheid vertoont en toch aan de orde van dag is. De bestaande projectmanagementmethoden bieden hierbij weinig houvast. Maar welke aanpak werkt dan wel?In het hoofdstuk over competenties en competentieontwikkeling staat de competentie-ontwikkeling van de projectmanager, zijn waarden en drijfveren centraal. Wat zijn competenties, competentie-frameworks en welke zijn belangrijk voor mij als projectmanager? Hoe kan de projectmanager de steeds belangrijker wordende gedragscompetenties ontwikkelen? In hoeverre kan de veel gebruikte ICB 4 van IPMA daarbij helpen?In het laatste hoofdstuk wordt een aantal scenario`s beschreven voor de mogelijke ontwikkeling van de professie, gebaseerd op een aantal trends. De trends zijn door de auteurs van dit boek geselecteerd mede op basis van soms verrassende gezichtspunten van ervaren collega`s uit het veld.Door het boek heen staan inspirerende verhalen die zijn opgetekend uit de mond van projectmanagers die op zeer verschillende terreinen succesvolle projecten hebben uitgevoerd. Zowel een feest van herkenning als een bron van nieuwe inzichten.

Описание: Film music often tells us how to feel, but it also guides us how to hear. Filmgoing is an intensely musical experience, one in which the soundtrack structures our interpretations and steers our emotions. Hollywood Harmony explores the inner workings of film music, bringing together tools from
music theory, musicology, and music psychology in this first ever book-length analytical study of this culturally central repertoire. Harmony, and especially chromaticism, is emblematic of the film music sound, and it is often used to evoke that most cinematic of feelings-wonder. To help parse
this familiar but complex musical style, Hollywood Harmony offers a first-of-its kind introduction to neo-Riemannian theory, a recently developed and versatile method of understanding music as a dynamic and transformational process, rather than a series of inert notes on a page. This application of
neo-Riemannian theory to film music is perfect way in for curious newcomers, while also constituting significant scholarly contribution to the larger discipline of music theory. Author Frank Lehman draws from his extensive knowledge of cinematic history with case-studies that range from classics of
Golden Age Hollywood to massive contemporary franchises to obscure cult-films. Special emphasis is placed on scores for major blockbusters such as Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, and Inception. With over a hundred meticulously transcribed music examples and more than two hundred individual movies
discussed, Hollywood Harmony will fascinate any fan of film and music.

Описание: Women Writing Wonder: An Anthology of Subversive Nineteenth-Century British, French, and German Fairy Tales is a translation and critical edition that fills a current gap in fairy-tale scholarship by making accessible texts written by nineteenth-century British, French, and German women authors who used the genre of the fairy tale to address issues such as class, race, and female agency. These shared themes crossed national borders are due to both communication among these writers and changes in nineteenth-century European societies that similarly affected women in Western Europe. In effect, the combined texts reveal a common, transnational tradition of fairy tales by women writers who grapple with gender, sexual, social, and racial issues in a post-French Revolution Europe. The anthology provides insight into the ways the fairy tale served as a vehicle for women writers-often marginalized and excluded from more official or public genres-to engage in very serious debates. Women Writing Wonder, divided into three parts by country, features tales that depict relationships that cross class and racial divides, thus challenging normative marriage practices; critically examine traditional fairy-tale tropes, such as ""happily ever after"" and the need for a woman to marry; challenge the perception that fairy-tale collecting, editing, and creation was male work, associated particularly with the Grimms; and demonstrate the role of women in the development of the emerging field of children's literature and moral tales. Through their tales, these women question, among other issues, the genre of the fairy tale itself, playing with the conventional fairy-tale narrative to compose their proto-feminist tales. By bringing these tales together, editors and translators Julie L. J. Koehler, Shandi Lynne Wagner, Anne E. Duggan, and Adrion Dula hope both to foreground women writers' important contributions to the genre and to challenge common assumptions about what a fairy tale is for scholars, students, and general readers.

Following this, the various archetypes of superheroines are classified into four categories: boundary crossers, good girls, outcasts, and those that reclaim power.

Описание:

Inviting Interruptions: Wonder Tales in the Twenty-First Century anthologizes contemporary stories, comics, and visual texts that intervene in a range of ways to challenge the popular perception of fairy tales as narratives offering heteronormative happy endings that support status-quo values. The materials collected in Inviting Interruptions address the many ways intersectional issues play out in terms of identity markers, such as race, ethnicity, class, and disability, and the forces that affect identity, such as non-normative sexualities, addiction, abuses of power, and forms of internalized self-hatred caused by any number of external pressures. But we also find celebration, whimsy, and beauty in these same texts-qualities intended to extend readers' enjoyment of and pleasure in the genre.

Edited by Cristina Bacchilega and Jennifer Orme, the book is organized in two sections. "Inviting Interruptions" considers the invitation as an offer that must be accepted in order to participate, whether for good or ill. This section includes Emma Donoghue's literary retelling of "Hansel and Gretel," stills from David Kaplan's short Little Red Riding Hood film, Bryan Kamaoli Kuwada's story about stories rooted in Hawaiian tradition and land, and Shary Boyle, Shaun Tan, and Dan Taulapapa McMullin's interruptions of mainstream images of beauty-webs, commerce, and Natives. "Interrupting Invitations" contemplates the interruption as a survival mechanism to end a problem that has already been going on too long. This section includes reflections on migration and sexuality by Diriye Osman, Sofia Samatar, and Nalo Hopkinson; and invitations to rethink human and non-human relations in works by Anne Kamiya, Rosario Ferr?, Veronica Schanoes, and Susanna Clark.

Each text in the book is accompanied by an editors' note, which offers questions, critical resources, and other links for expanding the appreciation and resonance of the text. As we make our way deeper into the twenty-first century, wonder tales-and their critical analyses-will continue to interest and enchant general audiences, students, and scholars.
