Beschreibung

Urban Combat explores the surprising relationship between real-world military tactics and their depiction in action manga. It reveals how the intricate choreography of urban warfare, from historical battles to modern military doctrine, subtly influences the dynamic cityscapes and pulse-pounding action sequences found in popular Japanese comics.

 
The book unpacks the evolution of urban combat, highlighting how elements like barricades reminiscent of revolutionary Paris or the intense house-to-house fighting seen in Stalingrad are reimagined for entertainment. This study delves into the visual language of manga, examining how artists translate complex military concepts into compelling imagery. It analyzes specific manga series, uncovering the surprisingly accurate, albeit stylized, depictions of urban combat principles.

 
By bridging the gap between military history and popular culture, Urban Combat offers a new lens through which to analyze both fields, providing insights into the creative process and cultural narratives surrounding conflict. The book systematically progresses, first introducing core concepts of urban warfare and then exploring their visual representation in manga. It also analyzes the cultural context, examining how Japanese attitudes towards warfare shape the portrayal of urban conflict. This approach provides readers with a framework to critically analyze other works of fiction and appreciate the depth of research and artistic skill involved.

    An autistic feminist author looks at women's history, in search of her 'weird sisters.' 
     
     
     
    It seemed to me that many of the moments when my autism had caused problems, or at least marked me out as different, were those moments when I had come up against some unspoken law about how a girl or a woman should be, and failed to meet it. 
     
     
     
    An autism diagnosis in midlife enabled Joanne Limburg to finally make sense of why her emotional expression, social discomfort and presentation had always marked her as an outsider. 
     
     
     
    Eager to discover other women who had been misunderstood in their time, she writes a series of wide-ranging letters to four 'weird sisters' from history, addressing topics including autistic parenting, social isolation, feminism, the movement for disability rights and the appalling punishments that have been meted out over centuries to those deemed to fall short of the norm. 
     
     
     
    This heartfelt, deeply compassionate and wholly original work humanizes women who have so often been dismissed for their differences, and will be celebrated by 'weird sisters' everywhere.
