Summary

"Cultural Adaptation Flow" explores the complex journey of LGBTQ comics as they cross cultural boundaries, focusing on how these narratives are translated, localized, and interpreted for diverse audiences. This goes beyond simple linguistic translation, delving into the negotiation of cultural norms, societal values, and political sensitivities. Intriguingly, the book reveals how the adaptation process involves maintaining artistic integrity while ensuring cultural appropriateness, a delicate balance that can either foster understanding or incite controversy.

 
The book uniquely frames cultural adaptation as a dynamic "flow," emphasizing the ongoing negotiation of meanings rather than a static transfer. It begins by establishing key concepts from cultural studies, queer theory, and translation studies. It then progresses through case studies analyzing specific LGBTQ comics in different cultural contexts, drawing on textual analysis and interviews with translators and readers. Finally, it synthesizes these findings to offer a broader understanding of the challenges and ethical considerations involved, making connections to fields like sociology, gender studies, and linguistics.

 
The book's approach highlights the significant social impact of translated media and the construction of gender and sexual identities across cultures.

    J.B. Rhine (1895 - 1980), widely considered to be the "Father of Modern Parapsychology," was the world’s leading investigator of psychic phenomena, ESP and the paranormal. He founded the parapsychology research lab at Duke University and the Journal of Parapsychology. Dr. Rhine, who coined the term "extrasensory perception" (ESP) to describe the apparent ability of some people to acquire information without the use of the known five senses), wrote several books on ESP and the paranormal. Rhine investigated ghosts, telepathy, poltergeists, and other unseen parapsychology phenomena from 1927 to 1965 at his Duke laboratory, and for several years after that at a private laboratory. The following was recorded from a Rhine lecture on psychokinesis and his ESP experiments.

    A Lifetime Doing Nothing - Tales...

    This book is a compilation of teachings told in short stories about the author's attempts to undo the done. He offers this little book as a more ardent, and hopefully lucid, attempt to explain the paramount importance of doing nothing as a way to undo oneself. 
 
----------------------------- 
 
"In my experience, all our problems do indeed stem from this hyperactive and delusional thinking we have acquired over time. 
 
There is a way to eradicate the light-speed, blind reactions and the habitual confusion. The way is very simple. It boils down to just two words: do nothing. That s it. Do nothing. Sit quietly in a room alone and do nothing. Watch the monkey mind and do not try to fix it or eliminate it or drown it out or engage it. 
 
This is doing non-doing. Observe the mind, on autopilot as usual, screaming editorial comments from the sidelines like some frenzied play-by-play announcer and do nothing about it. Don't turn the monologue into a dialogue. Do nothing. 'Nothing to see here, folks. Let s keep it moving.'"
