Sinossi

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.

Keeping Family Secrets - Shame...

Margaret K. Nelson

All families have secrets but the facts requiring secrecy change with time. Nowadays a lesbian partnership, a "bastard" son, or a criminal grandfather might be of little or no consequence but could have unraveled a family at an earlier moment in history. Margaret K. Nelson is interested in how families keep secrets from each other and from outsiders when to do otherwise would risk eliciting not only embarrassment or discomfort, but profound shame and, in some cases, danger. Drawing on over 150 memoirs describing childhoods in the period between the aftermath of World War II and the 1960s, Nelson highlights the importance of history in creating family secrets and demonstrates the use of personal stories to understand how people make sense of themselves and their social worlds. 
 
 
 
Keeping Family Secrets uncovers hidden stories of same-sex attraction among boys, unwed pregnancies among teenage girls, the institutionalization of children with mental and physical disabilities, participation in left-wing political activities, adoption, and Jewish ancestry. The members of ordinary families kept these issues secret to hide the disconnect between the reality of their own family and the prevailing ideals of what a family should be. Keeping Family Secrets sheds light not only on decades-old secrets but pushes us to confront what secrets our families keep today.
