Beschreibung

Chimeric Beasts explores the captivating history and artistry of hybrid creatures like griffins, sphinxes, and dragons across various cultures. These composite beings, found in mythology and folklore, reveal the values, fears, and aspirations of the societies that conceived them. The book examines the evolution of these representations, tracing their origins from ancient religious beliefs and political symbolism to their continued presence in contemporary media. These creatures embody complex ideas, serving as potent symbols of cultural identity and power.

 
The book analyzes the origins and development of specific creatures, such as griffins in the Near East and Greece, sphinxes in Egypt, and dragons in Eastern and Western traditions. It then explores their symbolic roles in heraldry, religious iconography, and political propaganda.

 
By integrating perspectives from art history, anthropology, and comparative mythology, Chimeric Beasts offers a unique perspective on the cultural significance of these creatures. The book progresses from defining chimeric beasts to exploring their origins and symbolic roles, culminating in an examination of their enduring presence in modern culture.

    This book tells the stories of disabled people who have been influential in creating modern mass media. 
     
     
     
    Through the voices of key disabled media makers and collaborators, the author highlights the ways in which their contributions are changing society's understanding of disability and shaping mass media and culture. Spanning a range of media formats—television/streaming productions, performances, podcasts, TED Talks, films, reality TV, graphic novels, and social media channels—the book illustrates how disabled people are confronting the marginalization they have faced in mass media for decades. Modern disabled media creators are leveraging new media platforms to recognize the lived experiences of disability and their authentic place in media culture. 
     
     
     
    This innovative and thought-provoking volume will be a must-listen for scholars, disability advocates, and students of disability studies, mass communication/media studies, as well as mass media production faculty, disabled people, and their allies.

    Apocalypse Television - How The...

    On November 20, 1983, a three-hour made-for-TV movie, The Day After, premiered on ABC. Set in the heartland of Lawrence, Kansas, the film depicted the events before, during, and after a Soviet nuclear attack with vivid scenes of the post-apocalyptic hellscape that would follow. The film was viewed by over 100 million Americans and remains the highest rated TV movie in history. 
     
     
     
    The path to primetime for The Day After proved nearly as treacherous as the film's narrative. Battles ensued behind the scenes at the network, between the network and the filmmakers. But these skirmishes pale in comparison to the culture wars triggered by the film in the press, alongside a growing Nuclear Freeze movement, and from a united, pro-nuclear Right. Once efforts to alter the script failed, the White House conducted a full-throttled propaganda campaign to hijack the film's message. 
     
     
     
    Apocalypse Television features a dramatic insider's account of the making of and backlash against The Day After. No other book has told this story in similar fashion, venturing behind-the-scenes of the programming and news divisions at ABC, the backlash from the conservative movement and Religious Right, the challenges encountered by the film's production team, and the experiences of the citizens of Lawrence, Kansas, where the film was set and shot.
