Sinopse

Power Scaling explores the intricate world of fan-driven power scaling within action manga, a practice where enthusiasts meticulously analyze character abilities and create hierarchies of strength. It examines how fans use feat analysis, scaling methods, and cosmology scaling to quantify and compare characters, often sparking passionate debates in online communities. For example, fans might dissect a "Dragon Ball" fight scene to determine if Goku is more powerful than Vegeta, using observable feats as evidence.

 
The book argues that power scaling, although seemingly arbitrary, represents a form of textual analysis, revealing how authors construct power dynamics in their narratives. It begins by introducing core concepts like feat interpretation and scaling methodologies, then progresses to analyze the role of cosmology in power dynamics. By dissecting these methods, the book demonstrates how fans actively participate in the storytelling process, creating their own interpretations and expansions of established lore, which has implications for Science, Film & Television.

 
This study distinguishes itself by treating power scaling as a serious engagement with fictional narratives, providing an academic lens through which to view fans' analytical practices. It offers a valuable framework to media scholars, manga enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the intersection of popular culture and textual analysis, providing structure to the methods used, and ultimately enhancing one's own analytical skills when engaging with media.

    In The Philosophy of Andy Warhol, the enigmatic, legendary Warhol makes the listener his confidant on love, sex, food, beauty, fame, work, money, success, and much more. 
     
     
     
    Andy Warhol claimed that he loved being outside a party—so that he could get in. But more often than not, the party was at his own studio, The Factory, where celebrities—from Edie Sedgwick and Allen Ginsberg to the Rolling Stones and the Velvet Underground—gathered in an ongoing bash. 
     
     
     
    A loosely formed autobiography, told with his trademark blend of irony and detachment, this compelling and eccentric memoir riffs and reflects on all things Warhol: New York, America, and his childhood in McKeesport, Pennsylvania, as well as the explosion of his career in the sixties, and his life among the rich and famous. 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.

    Loretta Lynn is a living legend. From walking around barefoot in clothing repurposed from flour sacks in rural Kentucky to becoming an icon with more awards than any other woman in country music, many may wonder just how Loretta Lynn paved this path for herself. While hard work, natural talent, and having certain people in her life surely contributed to her success, her story is so unique it seems as if it was written by fate.  
    A mother of six and now a grandmother to dozens, Lynn never lost sight of her values or what drove her. She had a calling to relay what was real and a desire to create a secure life for her family. She believes in horoscopes and is proudly an Aries; with her ambition and gifts, she could not be stopped. While Lynn is hesitant to call herself a feminist, her bravery and perseverance opened doors for many more women in country music. She also challenged stereotypes associated with the genre through living her beliefs about tolerance, honesty, and fairness. 
    This biography will explore the meaning and process behind some of her music and how the people and circumstances that shaped her led to her extensive list of awards and accolades. It will also seek to provide insight into how her world view, natural gifts, and personality traits drove her successes.

    Conversations about gender equity in the workplace accelerated in the 2010s, with debates inside Hollywood specifically pointing to broader systemic problems of employment disparities and exploitative labor practices. Compounded by the devastating #MeToo revelations, these problems led to a wide-scale call for change. The Value Gap traces female-driven filmmaking across development, financing, production, film festivals, marketing, and distribution, examining the realities facing women working in the industry during this transformative moment. Drawing from five years of extensive interviews with female producers, writers, and directors at different stages of their careers, Courtney Brannon Donoghue examines how Hollywood business cultures "value" female-driven projects as risky or not bankable. Industry claims that "movies targeting female audiences don't make money" or "women can't direct big-budget blockbusters" have long circulated to rationalize systemic gender inequities and have served to normalize studios prioritizing the white male–driven status quo. Through a critical media industry studies lens, The Value Gap challenges this pervasive logic with firsthand accounts of women actively navigating the male-dominated and conglomerate-owned industrial landscape.
