Sinopse

“Hero Archetypes” explores the enduring appeal of heroic figures, particularly within the vibrant world of action manga. It examines how these characters, often embodying classic narrative structures like the hero's journey, reflect deeper cultural values. The book delves into the classification of hero types, such as the reluctant hero, and analyzes their motivations, connecting them to archetypal theory. One intriguing aspect is the connection between the redemption arc and character development, showcasing how anti-heroes evolve within manga narratives. The analysis draws from diverse manga series, employing textual analysis, genre theory, and comparative mythology. Furthermore, the book bridges literary criticism with film studies, examining how visual storytelling impacts heroic portrayals. Each chapter builds upon the previous, starting with archetypal theory, then exploring specific hero types and narrative structures, and finally investigating socio-cultural influences. This work offers a framework for understanding character tropes and narrative structures, valuable for both academic study and creative pursuits. It acknowledges debates around cultural construction versus inherent human traits in heroic figures, providing insights applicable to character design in various media. By understanding hero archetypes, readers gain valuable insights into human aspirations and the stories we tell ourselves.

Haircuts by Children and Other...

Darren O'Donnell

A cultural planner's immodest proposal: change how we think about children and we just might change the world.
   
We live in an ‘adultitarian’ state, where the rules are based on very adult priori- ties and understandings of reality. Young people are disenfranchised and power- less; they understand they’re subject to an authoritarian regime, whether they buy into it or not. But their unique perspectives also offer incredible potential for social, cultural and economic innovation.
   
Cultural planner and performance director Darren O’Donnell has been collaborating with children for years through his company, Mammalian Diving Reflex; their most well-known piece, Haircuts by Children (exactly what it sounds like) has been performed internationally. O’Donnell suggests that working with children in the cultural industries in a manner that maintains a large space for their participation can be understood as a pilot for a vision of a very different role for young people in the world – one that the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child considers a ‘new social contract.’
   
Haircuts by Children is a practical proposal for the inclusion of children in as many realms as possible, not only as an expression of their rights, but as a way to intervene in the world and to disrupt the stark economic inequalities perpetuated by the status quo. Deeply practical and wildly whimsical, Haircuts by Children might actually make total sense.
   
‘No other playwright working in Toronto right now has O’Donnell’s talent for synthesizing psychosocial, artistic and political random thoughts and reflections into compelling analyses ... The world (not to mention the theatre world) could use more of this, if only to get us talking and debating.’

Fiona Foley Provocateur - An Art...

Louise Martin-Chew

Fiona Foley Provocateur provides insights into the life of one of Australia’s most influential urban Aboriginal and activist artists. From her beginnings in Hervey Bay, Queensland, it follows her young adult life in Sydney where she co-founded Boomalli Aboriginal Artists Co-Operative in 1986, to her rise through the art world and, most recently, into an academic life.
This biography reveals how Foley’s life has impacted her art, and her art on her life. It explores the artist’s familial relations, her ancestral home of K’Gari/Fraser Island, and her approach to artmaking and teaching. A provocateur, the artist’s activism is captured delicately throughout. It’s a triumph in story-telling and reveals that there is no art without life.
Key points:
. An absorbing and uplifting insight into Foley’s courage and determination in confronting racism, the weight of history and the need to forge new models.
. A rare account of a friendship between artist and writer, who are also Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal, which takes account of the identity politics that surround such relationships with nuanced authenticity.
. It traverses the life of one of Australia's most important artists and documents the seismic shifts that have accompanied the decades through which her work has been made.
. Wonderful insights into Foley’s heritage, and the process of her provocative commission at Brisbane Magistrates Court. An important book which records the present, before is glossed or altered by future historians.
